Post: I have added a function called get_signbit() to the Python and Python 3 libraries that will return the sign bit for the previous sample. The sign bit is the bit which the ADC returns to show if the value is positive or negative. If you call adc.read_raw(1) and then call adc.getsignbit() it will return 0 if the read_raw value was positive or 1 if it was negative.When the raw value is read from the ADC chip the location of the sign bit changes depending on what bit rate is being used. The library records the value of the sign bit into a variable before setting it to 0 so the value can be used by the read_voltage function. If you want to store the raw value in your database then you can use the get_signbit() function to find out if the value was positive or negative and then use that to update a bit within your integer before saving it to the database.If you want to update the sign bit to restore the value as it came out of the ADC then you will need to change the bit in the position as follows:[b]18 bit:[/b] sign bit = bit 17[b]16 bit:[/b] sign bit = bit 15[b]14 bit:[/b] sign bit = bit 13[b]12 bit:[/b] sign bit = bit 11
