Hello Everyone,
I am totally new to Micropython and Python in general. I was thinking about using a pyboard v1.1 for a project. just wanted some tip and points with this. I was planning on using a pyboard and a photoelectric sensor(or thermal) to detect a very hot piece of glass falling and tracking it. does the pyboard accept a 0 - 10 V input? or is it 0 - 5 V? also is there any other better way of going about this?
Thank you

Re: SUPER NOOB
The input range of pyboard is 0-3.3V, both analog and digital. It tolerates 5V, which will be seen as digital high level. if you sensor returns 0-10V, you have to scale that down, for instance by a resistor voltage divider. The inputs of the PyBoard have a very high impedance, so you do not have to take that into account. You have only to care about the load driving capability of your sensor.
