ADS1115 4-Channel 16-Bit ADC Module — I2C, Arduino Compatible

ADS1115 4-Channel 16-Bit ADC Module — I2C, Arduino Compatible

The ADS1115 ADC module adds 4 channels of precision 16-bit analog-to-digital conversion to any Arduino or microcontroller via I2C. Unlike Arduino's built-in 10-bit ADC, the ADS1115 provides 16-bit resolution (65,536 steps) with a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) for measuring small signals accurately. Supports up to 4 single-ended or 2 differential inputs.
