Hey all,

Has anyone see one of these around locally? Unlike the Arduino the Raspberry Pi doesn’t have an analog input and apparently this is the one item I forgot to pick up.

Any clues are appreciated!

Micro Center is carrying a limited amount of arduino stuff.
Debco electronics might have an ADC but its not going to be a froo froo shield or adafruit item. it’s going to be a chip.

I'm submitting a Digi-key order today. Let me know if you (or anyone
else) want to add to the order. Should get here next Tuesday.

Definitely give Debco a call, as their website is seriously lacking. http://www.debcoelectronics.com/

MCM Electronics in Springboro has them, but it is a bit of a pain to “Will Call” there.

thanks all! I ended up with a little more time so I am settled. Interesting that there is a will call option at MCM - will have to keep that in mind for next time.

Microchip will give you samples for free. They usually send them second day air.
