Hello,

I am following Paul McWhorter’s Raspberry Pi Tutorials for beginners, and he promotes the Raphael kit, which I purchased from Amazon via his link; however, one of his lessons uses the ADC0834 chip, which appears to no longer be included in the kit. His kit had it included. I see there is a different chip included that is an Analog to Digital chip, but am I going to have to use a different library and a different wiring diagram than he did? What is your suggestion? The video is His lesson 15 and here is the link [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_PnVt8XtFcw&list=PLGs0VKk2DiYxdMjCJmcP6jt4Yw6OHK85O&index=18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PnVt8XtFcw&list=PLGs0VKk2DiYxdMjCJmcP6jt4Yw6OHK85O&index=18)

Yes, you will need to follow slightly different instructions depending upon which adc you have. It should be one of the following…
