Microcontrollers on boards using the MCP3008
What boards using the MCP3008 are built for
MCP3008: common questions
Where can I find a MCP3008 reference design?
Each of the 16 boards on this page is a real design using the MCP3008. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.
Which microcontrollers do boards using the MCP3008 use?
Most are built on Raspberry Pi (3), ESP8266 (1), FPGA (1) and NXP (1).
How big is a typical board using the MCP3008?
The median is 100.3 × 83.5 mm, and 75% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the MCP3008?
By GitHub stars, Pogobot Head by nekonaute, with 21 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the MCP3008 before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
