>Hi everybody, sorry for being newbie, at the moment I'm doing an exercise for
the school, a meteo station with 4 sensors. I installed raspbian and use it
with Putty and VLC. The question is how I connect, at SLK and SDA pins the 3
"SLK" I don't recognize.
Are they I2C or SPI. If I2C you just hook them (SCL and SDA) in
parallel -- as each device should have its own address, which gets sent in
the data stream to identify which device is being commanded.
SCL -----------------------------------------------------------

rpi sen1 sen2 sen3

SDA -----------------------------------------------------
For SPI, you will need to allocate one GPIO per device to act as a
chip-select (depending on wiring either set these with pull-up resistors
and drive one GPIO low to select a sensor, or pull-down resistors and drive
one GPIO high to select the sensor). With the sensor selection, send the
appropriate commands and read the return data (SPI tends to send a return
bit for every bit sent to a device). SPI uses two data lines MOSI/MISO and
a clock -- shared by all devices, and separate select lines.
