I’m trying to detect a short, weak signal from an LDR and pass it to a Phidget VINT Hub 0000 and then to an RPi4. (Think, slot racing car 5 cm long passing over the LDR at 0.5m/sec.) I should be able to set up the Hub to detect the small voltage change. Phidget support shows how to do it in a Windows environment but how do I do it on a RPi (Debian OS)?
Thanks for any suggestions
Hello @jmoffatt and welcome to the RobotShop community!
You could use a Phidgets Voltage Divider and follow this tutorial:

Thanks Geraldine, I can do this but still have the problem of setting up the HUB0000 for the Voltage Ratio input on a RPi. There is no Phidget Control Panel for Linux (RPi) so how do I do it?
Thanks.
You won’t be able to use the Control Panel interface, you would have to program it, but don’t worry there are Linux libraries available:
