A couple of weeks ago, I received from Alex Eames a new board he’d been working on called the Analog Zero. I blogged about it then and have continued to think about it and I really believe it’s the best solution currently out there for reading lots of analog inputs. It gives you everything you need to read the inputs without the fairly intricate wiring you need to do with an analog-to-digital converter chip. It works brilliantly, in particular with GPIO Zero, and really is simple to get going.

Alex has now launched a Kickstarter to develop the board into full production. You can get hold of an Analog Zero for £7 (super early-bird), £8 (early-bird) or £9 (standard) (plus cheap postage). Be aware that this campaign is running for 7 days only so pledge sooner rather than later!

This is really terrific value for the board which gives you eight analog inputs, a small prototyping area and all the other pins broken out, all in a Raspberry Pi Zero form-factor. The board works on all models of the Raspberry Pi.

If you’d like to pledge to get hold of one or more of the Analog Zero, head over to Kickstarter!
