Level shifter for interfacing SCD41 and Raspberry pi over I2C

I am connecting an SCD41 CO2 sensor to a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. To keep the 3.3V current draw low, I would like to power it at 5V (peak current is 205 mA at 3.3V vs. 137 mA at 5V). A TXS0108E module ...

Overcurrent protection relay: how do I simulate it with a Raspberry Pi?

I'm using an RPi and an MCP3208 to simulate an overcurrent relay. I managed to level-shift the AC signal and now I get the voltage reading at 0-3.3 V. As this is an overCURRENT relay, I was stuck for ...

Why do I get constant DC 2.5V when level shifting +/- 5V to 0-3.3V (LM741 op amp)?

I'm using RPi 3b+ with ADC (MCP3208) to monitor AC signal (+/- 5V). Since the ADC can't read negative signals, I tried to level shift it using an op amp (LM741). I tried to make this connection (the ...
