Gas Sensor MQ-7 Arduino and Raspberry Pi Hardware schematic

Hallo everyone,
I'm Gabriel. I'm new to this world. I used to spend time in analog electronic and now I feel a bit confused by some tutorials about logic digital signals.

My goal is to sense sensors (gas sensor and DHT22) with Arduino Nano and show the result on a LCD2004 display.
My second goal is to do the same in Raspberry Pi environment.

The tutorial I've found is this.

But something doesnt convince me.

ARDUINO (Analog/Digital 5V)

CASE1:

  • gas sensor (A/D output avaible) @5V
  • analog signal from MQ-7 to Analog GPIO

CASE2:

  • gas sensor (A/D output avaible) @5V
  • digital signal from MQ-7 to Digital GPIO

CASE3:

  • gas sensor (A/D output avaible) @5V
  • analog signal from MQ-7 to MCP3008
  • MCP3008 via SPI (digital) to GPIO

RASPBERRY (Digital 3.3V)

CASE1:

  • gas sensor (A/D output avaible) @5V
  • digital signal passes to level shifter 5V->3.3V
  • 3.3V digital signal to Digital GPIO

CASE2A (TUTORIAL):

  • gas sensor (A/D output avaible) @5V
  • digital signal passes to level shifter 5V->3.3V
  • 3.3V digital signal to MCP3008
    (why?? Just to achieve 8 channel - 8 sensor - using just 4 pin SPI comunication? if i have 1 sensor is useless to use a MCP3008 like that?)
  • MCP3008 via SPI (digital) to GPIO

CASE2B (TUTORIAL if sensor signal type is analog but wrong labeled in images):

  • gas sensor (A/D output avaible) @5V
  • analog signal (???) pass to level shifter 5V->3.3V (is it possible???)
  • 3.3V analog signal to MCP3008
  • MCP3008 via SPI (digital) to GPIO

Can you help me to understand how things going in the tutorial schematic?
