I have a question regarding a 2-channel photometer that I got from Nearsys. I would like to use a Raspberry Pi as a computer to collect data with this.
My college got some funding to do some high altitude weather ballooning, and this was one of the sensor that was purchased to collect temperature and light information from near space. A guide for the sensor is here: http://nearsys.com/catalog/sensor/2photoplan.pdf
I soldered everything up, and I would like to be able to test it on the RPi, first to see if I get a signal, and second to see if I get something reliable.
Is there any advice on how I should connect this to the GPIO on the RPi. A (very cursory) web search didn't show me much that I could make sense of. However, if there is a resource that could help me connect it, I am sure there is or could be a Python program that will do the necessary conversion of voltages into signals.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
