Get Voltage from BrickPi+
import smbus
def get_voltage():
"""
Reads the digital output code of the MCP3021 chip on the BrickPi+ over i2c.
Some bit operation magic to get a voltage floating number.
If this doesnt work try this on the command line: i2cdetect -y 1
The 1 in there is the bus number, same as in bus = smbus.SMBus(1)
Google the resulting error.
