So connecting an Arduino-like device to the raspberry that is

try tomorrow with analog sensors, I will share if i manage to build
nice examples.
Seems to be even easier using a special chip:

An Arduino would be an overkill. Also, there is no need for bitbanging.
MCP3008 is are directly supported by the IIO subsystem and its channel
data is demuxed in /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device<n>
