The Intel Galileo Gen 2 board provides the following resolution for the analog to digital converter:
32 bits.
64 bits.
12 bits.
The analog pins allow us to detect a maximum of:
4,096 different values, with values ranging from 0 to 4095 (inclusive).
16,384 different values, with values ranging from 0 to 16,383 (inclusive).
256 different values, with values ranging from 0 to 255 (inclusive).
We can configure the number of bits we want to use as the resolution by calling the following method of an
mraa.Aio
instance:setADCResolution
.setBit
.setResolutionBits
.
A call to the
read
method for amraa.Aio
instance returns:A raw number of units based on the number of the resolution bits configured for the instance.
A voltage value automatically converted from the raw number of units.
A resistance value measured in Ohms (Ω).
We can use analog pins to read:
Resistance values.
Current values.
Voltage values.

Overview of this book
Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the way devices/things interact with each other. And when you have IoT with Python on your side, you'll be able to build interactive objects and design them.
This book lets you stay at the forefront of cutting-edge research on IoT. We'll open up the possibilities using tools that enable you to interact with the world, such as Intel Galileo Gen 2, sensors, and other hardware. You will learn how to read, write, and convert digital values to generate analog output by programming Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) in Python. You will get familiar with the complex communication system included in the board, so you can interact with any shield, actuator, or sensor.
Later on, you will not only see how to work with data received from the sensors, but also perform actions by sending them to a specific shield. You'll be able to connect your IoT device to the entire world, by integrating WiFi, Bluetooth, and Internet settings. With everything ready, you will see how to work in real time on your IoT device using the MQTT protocol in python.
By the end of the book, you will be able to develop IoT prototypes with Python, libraries, and tools.
