Rpi + MCP3008 + Arduino sensor?

[Kewngen]

A lot of the cheaper sensors around the internet are for Arduino, for example: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product ... 12904.html

Is it possible with use MCP3008 and a RPi to read a sensor made for the Arduino (like the one in the link)?

yes, the board you linked outputs a 0-5v dc signal to indicate rainfall, a MCP3008 will be able to convert that to a SPI communication to your Pi.

Thank you for quick reply!

I assume it would work with all these sensors then? http://www.dx.com/p/arduno-37-in-1-sens ... ack-142834

Looking at the 37 sensors shown, I would imagine that for the most part they will either work with the MCP3008 or work directly with the Pi.
