Because the Arduino (and Basic Stamp) are 5V devices, and most modern sensors, displays, flashcards, and modes are 3.3V-only, many makers find that they need to perform level shifting/conversion to protect the 3.3V device from 5V. Here we've got a 4-channel I2C-safe Bi-directional Logic Level Converter that has open-drain-with-10K-pullups outputs, great for logic...

Need to add analog inputs? This chip will add 8 channels of 10-bit analog input to your microcontroller or microcomputer project. It's super easy to use and uses SPI so only 4 pins are required. We chose this chip as a great accompaniment to the Raspberry Pi computer because it's fun to have analog inputs but the Pi does not have an ADC. We have a tutorial and code...
