# Adafruit NAU7802 24-Bit ADC - STEMMA QT / Qwiic

## Overview

Info: As of June 23rd, 2025 – By popular demand! We've updated this design to expose the 'second' ADC input (B+ and B-). We've updated this PCB to now come with a 6-pin terminal block port, instead of a 4-pin.

If you are feeling the stress and strain of&nbsp;modern life&nbsp;a Wheatstone bridge and you want to quantify it, this handy breakout will do the job, no sweat! The **&nbsp;Adafruit NAU7802** &nbsp;contains a super-high-resolution 24-Bit differential ADC with extra gain and calibration circuitry that makes it perfect for measuring strain gauges / load cells or other sensors that have four wires that are connected in a&nbsp;[Wheatstone bridge arrangement](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheatstone_bridge).

![front view of the breakout](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/137/941/medium800/adafruit_products_4538-16.jpg?1750779104 )

Each breakout comes with a NAU7802 ADC chip, plus some support circuitry and a terminal block that can be used to connect a 4-wire sensor.

![back view of the board](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/137/942/medium800/adafruit_products_4538-13.jpg?1750779125 )

The&nbsp; **E-** &nbsp;pad connects to ground (often a black wire), the&nbsp; **E+** &nbsp;pad connects to a generated voltage from the NAU7802 that can be configured from 2.4V to 4.0V for a solid positive reference (often a red wire).

Then&nbsp; **A-&nbsp;** and&nbsp; **A+** &nbsp;pads connect to the differential outputs from the bridge. For example, connecting to a strain gauge these tend to be the white and green wires.

![terminal block side view of the breakout](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/137/943/medium800/adafruit_products_4538-14.jpg?1750779150 )

As the sensor is twisted and bent, the slight changes in resistance are converted to minuscule voltage changes that can be read by the NAU ADC for converting into force or mass measurements. You can use our&nbsp;[Arduino library](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_NAU7802)&nbsp;or&nbsp;[CedarGrove's CircuitPython/Python library](https://github.com/CedarGroveStudios/CircuitPython_NAU7802) to configure and read the ADC for fast interfacing. Note that this sensor has a fixed I2C address of 0x2A.&nbsp;[If multiple sensors are desired on one I2C bus, a multiplexer can be used](https://learn.adafruit.com/working-with-multiple-i2c-devices).

Primary: The default I2C address for the NAU7802 is **0x2A**.

## Power Pins

- **VIN** &nbsp;- This is the power pin. To power the board, give it the same power as the logic level of your microcontroller - e.g. for a 3V microcontroller like a Feather M4, use 3V, or for a 5V microcontroller like Arduino, use 5V.  
- **AV** - This is the AVDD pin. It is the analog power supply pin and can supply 2.4V to 4.0V.
- **GND** &nbsp;- This is common ground for power and logic.

## I2C Logic Pins

- **SCL&nbsp;** - I2C clock pin, connect to your microcontroller I2C clock line. There's a&nbsp; **10K pullup** &nbsp;on this pin.
- **SDA&nbsp;** - I2C data pin, connect to your microcontroller I2C data line. There's a&nbsp; **10K pullup** &nbsp;on this pin.
- [**STEMMA QT**](https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing-adafruit-stemma-qt) **&nbsp;-&nbsp;** These connectors allow you to connect to development boards with I2C&nbsp; **STEMMA QT** / Qwiic connectors or to other things with&nbsp;[various associated accessories](https://www.adafruit.com/category/619).

Warning: The secondary ADC (pins B+ and B-) are only broken out on rev C of the breakout.

## Terminal Block Pins

- **A+** - Connected to VIN1P, which is Non-Inverting Input #1. It is a differential output from the bridge.
- **A-** - Connected to VIN1N, which is Inverting Input #1. It is a differential output from the bridge.
- **B+** (rev C only) - Connected to VIN2P, which is Non-Inverting Input #2. It is a differential output from the bridge.
- **B-** (rev C only) - Connected to VIN2N, which is Inverting Input #2. It is a differential output from the bridge.
- **E+** - Connected to AVDD for a generated voltage from the NAU7802. It can be configured from 2.4V to 4.0V for a solid positive reference.
- **E-** - Connected to common ground.

## Python Installation of NAU7802 Library

You'll need to install the **Adafruit\_Blinka** library that provides CircuitPython support in Python. This may also require enabling I2C on your platform and verifying you are running Python 3. [Since each platform is a little different, and Linux changes often, please visit the CircuitPython on Linux guide to get your computer ready](https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-on-raspberrypi-linux)!

Once that's done, from your command line run the following command:

- `pip3 install cedargrove-nau7802`

If your default Python is version 3 you may need to run 'pip' instead. Just make sure you aren't trying to use CircuitPython on Python 2.x, it isn't supported!

## CircuitPython Usage

To use with CircuitPython, you need to first install the&nbsp; **CircuitPython\_NAU7802** library, and its dependencies, into the **lib** folder on your **CIRCUITPY** drive. Then you need to update **code.py** with the example script.

Thankfully, we can do this in one go. In the example below, click the **Download Project Bundle** button below to download the necessary libraries and the **code.py** file in a zip file. Extract the contents of the zip file, and copy the **entire**  **lib**  **folder** and the **code.py** file to your **CIRCUITPY** drive.

Your **CIRCUITPY/lib** folder should contain the following folders and file:

- **adafruit\_bus\_device/**
- **adafruit\_register/**
- **cedargrove\_nau7802.mpy**

![CIRCUITPY drive](https://adafruit.github.io/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle/nau7802_nau7802_simpletest.py.png )

## Python Usage

Once you have the library&nbsp;installed on your computer, copy or [download the following example](https://github.com/CedarGroveStudios/CircuitPython_NAU7802/blob/main/examples/nau7802_simpletest.py) to your computer, and run the following, replacing&nbsp; **code.py** &nbsp;with whatever you named the file:

`python3 code.py`

## Example Code
 **If running CircuitPython:** &nbsp;Once everything is saved to the&nbsp; **CIRCUITPY** &nbsp;drive,&nbsp;[connect to the serial console](https://learn.adafruit.com/welcome-to-circuitpython/kattni-connecting-to-the-serial-console)&nbsp;to see the data printed out!

**If running Python:&nbsp;** The console output will appear wherever you are running Python.

https://github.com/adafruit/CircuitPython_NAU7802/blob/main/examples/nau7802_simpletest.py

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/112/056/medium800/adafruit_products_cpOutput.png?1653503601)

Attach a strain gauge with four wires to the four terminal inputs. Now try applying force on the gauge to see the values change!

First you import the necessary modules and libraries. Then you instantiate the sensor on I2C.

Then you're ready to read data from the ADC, including the initial information printed to the serial console.

Finally, inside the loop, you check the value from the ADC.

The terminal inputs raw value will print to the REPL. You'll see the number increase or decrease depending on the amount of force you apply to the strain gauge.

That's all there is to using the NAU7802 with CircuitPython!

## What is WipperSnapper

WipperSnapper is a firmware designed to turn any WiFi-capable board into an Internet-of-Things device without programming a single line of code. WipperSnapper connects to [Adafruit IO](https://io.adafruit.com/), a web&nbsp;platform designed ([by Adafruit!](https://www.adafruit.com/about)) to&nbsp;_display_,&nbsp;_respond_, and&nbsp;_interact_&nbsp;with your project's data.

Simply load the WipperSnapper firmware onto your board, add credentials, and plug it into power. Your board will automatically register itself with your Adafruit IO account.

From there, you can add&nbsp;_components_&nbsp;to your board such as buttons, switches, potentiometers, sensors, and more! Components are&nbsp;_dynamically&nbsp;_added to hardware, so you can&nbsp;immediately start interacting, logging, and streaming the data your projects produce without writing code.

On the component configuration page, the NAU7802's sensor address should be listed along with the sensor's settings.

The&nbsp; **Send Every** &nbsp;option is specific to each sensor's measurements. This option will tell the Feather how often it should read from the NAU7802 sensor and send the data to Adafruit IO. Measurements can range from every 30 seconds to every 24 hours.

For this example, set the&nbsp; **Send Every&nbsp;** interval to every 30 seconds.

Your device interface should now show the sensor components you created. After the interval you configured elapses, WipperSnapper will automatically read values from the sensor(s) and send them to Adafruit IO.

# Adafruit NAU7802 24-Bit ADC - STEMMA QT / Qwiic

## Downloads

Info: As of June 23rd, 2025 – By popular demand! We've updated this design to expose the 'second' ADC input (B+ and B-), so we've updated this PCB to now come with a 6-pin terminal block port, instead of 4-pin.
