Hello,
We are working in a project where we have to read data from electronic weight scales. The signals will come in 4-20mA signals that must be processed by Netduino Plus.
Suppose we solve the current to voltage conversion and deliver 0 to 3,3V to the Netduino analog input. We know there is some noise and some filtering may have to be applied. I believe this is common to most class of microcontrollers.
In order to minimize this noise, we were thinking about using some external ADC with SPI or I2C interface, like the Adafruit ADS1015 or MCP3008.
I would like to know if using these (or any other) chips or breakout boards will potentially provide lower noise levels? I mean, do they have a better noise immunity/treatment compared to the native Netduino ADC filter?
Thank you,
Igor.
