    A couple of years ago I experimented with your pH sensor and found it good. I will try to make a short answer here. Stay tuned. – tlfong01 May 05 '21 at 00:56
  • @Pierre Auger, when I answered the question (Ref 1) two years ago, there was only one user guide in Chinese, so everybody got confused. Then I translated the manual to English and also explained how to connect, calibrate, and convert the results. I already compiled a short conversion table. Perhaps you can do more experiments and compile your own conversion table. Happy experiments. Cheers. – tlfong01 May 05 '21 at 01:23

Question

How can Rpi read DIY PH-4502C pH Sensor?

Answer

  1. DIY PH-4502C pH Sensor has an analog output. So you can use a multimeter to read the analog values and use a voltage to pH values table to find the pH value. You can also use Rpi to interface an ADC eg, MCP3008, and convert the ADC results to pH values.

  2. I am summarizing some of my findings below.
