Introduction
Support for the ADS1x15 series of analog-to-digital converters. Available in 12-bit (ADS1015) and 16-bit (ADS1115) versions.
Installation & Dependencies
This driver depends on:
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This can be most easily achieved by downloading and installing the Adafruit library and driver bundle on your device.
Installing from PyPI
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ads1x15To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ads1x15To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ads1x15Usage Example
Single Ended
import time
import board
import busio
import adafruit_ads1x15.ads1015 as ADS
from adafruit_ads1x15.analog_in import AnalogIn
# Create the I2C bus
i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)
# Create the ADC object using the I2C bus
ads = ADS.ADS1015(i2c)
# Create single-ended input on channel 0
chan = AnalogIn(ads, ADS.P0)
# Create differential input between channel 0 and 1
#chan = AnalogIn(ads, ADS.P0, ADS.P1)
print("{:>5}\t{:>5}".format('raw', 'v'))
while True:
print("{:>5}\t{:>5.3f}".format(chan.value, chan.voltage))
