Story

Hello...I have been working out of a book and I thought of adding some extra oomph. So, I read the book, "Getting Started with BeagleBone," by Monk and added some after seeing this fellow's software.

At first, I had a couple of interruptions with software and hardware but soon after learning that I need to call my pin before the while statement, I was good to go.

I also had some assistance from a nice person on the #beagle Freenode chat that is hosted by the BBB.io people.

Some software...

import Adafruit_BBIO.ADC as ADC
import time
 
sensor_pin = 'P9_39'
 
ADC.setup()

with open('loveAndTemp.txt', 'w') as file:
    while True:
        reading = ADC.read(sensor_pin)
        millivolts = reading * 1800  # 1.8V reference = 1800 mV
        temp_c = (millivolts - 500) / 10
        temp_f = (temp_c * 9/5) + 32

        print('mv=%d C=%d F=%d' % (millivolts, temp_c, temp_f))
        file.write('mv=%d C=%d F=%d \n' % (millivolts, temp_c, temp_f)
        time.sleep(1)
