NXP Pressure Sensor, Vacuum

Fri Mar 24, 2017 4:52 pm

Please excuse my ignorance if this has been asked, I spent 30 minutes searching and weeding through posts before posting.

I recently started working with the Pi and have hooked up a few temperature/humidity sensors with Adafruit_DHT and am now trying to hookup a Pressure Sensor but having no luck finding an example of Python code and to be quite honest I'm not sure how to wire the sensor to the pi.

This is the sensor that I have:
http://www.newark.com/freescale-semicon ... dp/75C3920

I've been told this should work with the Pi but heck if I can figure that out or find an example. I've exhausted a few days scouring the web before asking here.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give or direction as it will be greatly appreciated.

It's an analog output device. So to make it work on the Pi you'll need an ADC between it and the Pi.

Thanks for your response Gordon, do you have any suggestions on a good ADC that would work?
