Introduction

The ADS1115 Analog-digital-converter have a solution of 16 bits, which means that the analog value can be quantized in 65536 steps. Usually the Arduino boards have a resolution between 10 - 12 bit (1024 - 4096 steps). The ADS1115 also have a internal amplifier if you want to measure low power signal. Last but not least you can outsource some function by using the alarm function of the ADS1115.

Usage and a few examples in my repository:

Used modules

Wiring

Power Supply

  • 2 - 5,5 V but i recommend to use 3,3 V

I2C Bus

  • The Wiring is not depending of the board which you want to use. For data transmission you have to connect SDA and SCL with the corresponding ports of the board

I2C Addresses

The change of the I2C address is connection programmed

ADS1115 Pin Connection ADDR not connected ADDR - GND ADDR - VCC ADDR - SDA ADDR - SCL
I2C Address 0x48 0x48 0x49 0x4A 0x4B
