Controlling Analog Sensors Using SPI(Serial Peripheral Protocol)with Raspberry Pi and MCP 3008

In this project the objective is to make a system that can monitor a premise remotely using mainly SPI protocol. There are various Analog Sensors connected to the System and this sensors gives analog data from of the given entity. This data is then converted to Digital and the data is processed by the Raspberry Pi board and according to the data we can control the System. Using this project the plant or a premise can be easily controlled remotely by web server and it can also be monitored. The Web Server will be ported on a linux based board and this board acts as a Web Server and the server can be assessed remotely using Ethernet. Here we are using SPI as a protocol for communication between the analog devices and the microprocessor.SPI is a simple and efficient Protocol and it is easy to implement also then other protocols like IIC. Multiple devices can be connected to a single master so we can create a whole network of analog devices for various types of sensing elements. The project has wide range of applications in industries and home surveillance. This System can be used in hazardous places where human can’t survive easily like in very high temperature places or chemically dangerous gas plant etc.
