python - Using int containers with two x MCP3008 ADC Rpi -

the following code uses 2 mcp3008 chips attached rpi , home alarm panel. these 16 analog values fluctuate between 600 , 715 out of 1023 depending on pirs etc.

the int value prints out:

  chip - 1023       chip b -  242   chip - 1023       chip b - 1023   chip -    0       chip b -   68   chip - 1023       chip b -  599   chip - 1023       chip b - 1023   chip -   16       chip b - 1023   chip - 1023       chip b - 1023   chip - 1023       chip b - 1023 

i need:

value 1 = chip 1 readvalue 1 value 2 = chip 1 readvalue 2  etc... 

i tried strings, lists, io, wrappers first value.

could please go more detail want? currently, unclear. – sildoreth 35 mins ago

mcp3008_a , mcp3008_b print out analog values chip.i want assign each of values specific name, eg.value1 = 1023, value2 = 654 etc.. want able write ( if value 2 >=653 ) , (value10 <= 702) something. hope explains bit better – maurice1 19 mins ago

maybe clearer, @ bottom of code have #v1 = input.readline() , #v2= etc. need know should put in thereto read output mcp3008_a – maurice1 1 min ago edit

could please add information original post? – sildoreth 38 secs ago
