Node-RED node for mcp3424 18bit adc using with redPlc nodes
mcp3424 analog to digital converter
- 12..18bit Conversion Resolution.
- Four Analog Inputs.
- Each input can be disabled.
- Internal Voltage Reference.
- Internal Oscillator.
- Programmable Data Rate 3.75 SPS (18bits) to 240 SPS (12bits).
- The PGA offers input ranges from ±256 mV to ±2048 V.
- I2C Interface with Eight Pin-Selectable Addresses.
- Works also for mcp3421..mcp3428
Usage
- Install redPlc nodes.
- Use redPlc s-inject node for trigger update.
- Connect to first output on s-inject node.
- Daisy chain nodes in series.
- For logical operations use redPlc nodes.
- Data is exchanged with global context variable arrays.
- Array index is equal input number for easy handling.
- This node works on Raspberry Pi with 32bit or 64bit OS.
- Input voltage more than VCC can damage adc input.
- The output value is mV or adc raw data.
- Works also on Raspberry Pi 5
- Enable I2C with raspi-config.
- If other type then mcp3424 used, set correct parameter (see table below).
- If you use i2c-0 port add dtparam=i2c_vc=on to /boot/config.txt, then Pin27=SDA, Pin28=SCK.
- For other ports add this to /boot/config.txt.

Example
This example reads temperature from sensor LM35 (DZ). The temperature sensor LM35 (DZ) outputs voltage 10.0 mV/°C. The sensor measures in the range of 2°..150°. Therefore the output is 20mV..1500mV. The module node mcp3424 is set for input CH1 and CH2 to Input-Range 2048mV. Other adc inputs are disabled. The redPlc calculate node divides adc value to 10. The redPlc export nodes reads the analog variables and sends to Dashboard gauge.
