@Maximilian-Gerhardt Wow thank you so much! I totally missed the leading 0's part in the datasheet... I'll try it out tomorrow.

MCP3008 SPI Addressing and 0x00 returned values
Hi,
I've been having issues using an MCP3008 with the Omega2. I saw this post: Using a MCP3008 via SPI, and am also having issues. I'm trying to read channel 0 on the ADC.That post mentioned sending the command word 1100 or 11000000 to read from the device, however my attempts were unsuccessful. I used the following command:
res = spi.readBytes(0xC0,1)
I consistently get 0x00 as the returned value , when attempting a whole range of different addresses (not just 0xC or 0xC0).
My specific questions are:- Am I addressing channel 0 correctly?
- What should I check if I keep getting 0x00 as the readBytes returned value?
Thanks!
