# Using MCP3008 (10-bit Analog to Digital Converter)
Some devices like the Rasperry Pi cannot read analog values directly so rely on [analog to digital converters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog-to-digital_converter), like the [MCP3008 ADC](https://www.adafruit.com/product/856). The MCP3008 supports the SPI interface. The 10-bit chip can be accessed as an [SPI device](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Peripheral_Interface) or manually via raw GPIO pins.

You can use [Mcp3008.cs](Mcp3008.cs) in your project to access analog devices. [Reading Analog Input from a Potentiometer](samples/README.md) demonstrates a concrete example using this class.
You can use .NET Core to read analog values from a [potentiometer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimmer_(electronics)), like a [volume control](https://www.adafruit.com/product/356).
