Pmod add-on boards to Raspberry Pi 3

[daveoprea]

To use the Pmod AD2 with the Raspberry Pi 3, do I first need to plug it into the "Pmod HAT Adaptor: Pmod Expansion for Raspberry Pi"? Also, will the VIPM "AD2 Toolkit" then allow me to program the AD2 using LabVIEW?

Hi @daveoprea,

You do not need to use the Pmod HAT Adapter, though it does make the wiring a lot more convenient so you don't have to run individual wires for the different protocol signals.

The AD2 Toolkit for LabVIEW, https://forum.digilentinc.com/topic/20241-labview/, is actually for the Analog Discovery 2, https://digilent.com/reference/test-and-measurement/analog-discovery-2/start, not the Pmod AD2. So that answer is no, not really. If LabVIEW can control the Raspberry Pi 3 (I believe this is true via the LabVIEW Community Edition), I think there are some VIs available that let you control I2C devices.

Thanks,
JColvin

I've used LabVIEW to control the Raspberry Pi digital lines but also want to use an analog input Pmod.  What Pmod would you suggest for that?  Also, would it be advisable to purchase the Digilent Pmod HAT Adaptor to connect a Pmod to the Raspberry Pi?
