The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP3204
|
|
devices are successive approximation 12-bit Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converters with on-board sample and
|
|
hold circuitry.

Component/Hub
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The MCP3204 component allows you to use MCP3204 4-Channel 12-Bit A/D Converter
|
|
(`datasheet <https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/21298e.pdf>`__) in ESPHome.
|
|
It uses the :ref:`SPI Bus <spi>` for communication.
|
|
|
|
Once configured, you can use any of the 4 pins as
|
|
sensors for your projects.
|
|
|
|
Each pin will respond with a voltage calculated off of the ``reference_voltage`` (default is 3.3V).
|
|
It calculates the voltage by multiplying the ``reference_voltage * value`` on the pin (basically the percentage of VREF)
|
|
|
|
Most configurations will set the ``reference_voltage`` = VREF (pin 13 on the chip)

************************
|
|
|
|
- **id** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The id to use for this MCP3204 component.
|
|
- **cs_pin** (**Required**, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The SPI cable select pin to use.
|
|
- **reference_voltage** (*Optional*, float): The reference voltage. Defaults to ``3.3V``.

Sensor
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
The ``mcp3204`` sensor allows you to use your MCP3204 12-Bit A/D Converter sensors with ESPHome.
|
|
First, setup a :ref:`MCP3204 Hub <mcp3204-component>` for your MCP3204 sensor and then use this
|
|
sensor platform to create individual sensors that will report the voltage to Home Assistant.
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
************************
|
|
|
|
- **mcp3204_id** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The id of the parent MCP3204 component.
|
|
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name of the voltage sensor.
|
|
- **number** (**Required**, int): The pin number of the MCP3204
|
|
- **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The interval to check the sensor. Defaults to ``60s``.
|
|
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
|
|
- All other options from :ref:`Sensor <config-sensor>`.
