# Adafruit Python MCP3008

Python code to use the MCP3008 analog to digital converter with a Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone black.

## Installation

To install the library from source (recommended) run the following commands on a Raspberry Pi or other Debian-based OS system:

    sudo apt-get install git build-essential python-dev
    cd ~
    git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_MCP3008.git
    cd Adafruit_Python_MCP3008
    sudo python setup.py install

Alternatively you can install from pip with:

    sudo pip install adafruit-mcp3008

Note that the pip install method **won't** install the example code.
