ADS1115

A Node.js library for an ADS1115 analog to digital converter

Theses are super inexpensive on amazon!

The joystick is: here The display is: here   --> Also checkout my node module for it!: here

// const connection = [1, 0x48, 'i2c-bus']
//  use an `i2cdriver` board for development!...
const connection = ['/dev/tty.usbserial-DO010000', 0x48, 'i2cdriver/i2c-bus']

ADS1115.open(...connection).then(async (ads1115) => {
  ads1115.gain = 1

  for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
    let x = await ads1115.measure('0+GND')
    let y = await ads1115.measure('1+GND')
    console.log(x, y)
  }
})

Or, use with an existing bus instance:

const ADS1115 = require('ads1115')

const i2c = require('i2c-bus')
i2c.openPromisified(1).then(async (bus) => {
  const ads1115 = await ADS1115(bus)
  // ads1115.gain = 1

  for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
    let value = await ads1115.measure('0+GND')
    console.log(value)
  }
})

Install

https://npmjs.com/package/ads1115

npm install ads1115 i2c-bus

*i2c-bus not included in dependencies

To prevent multiple instances of i2c-bus being installed in your project- it is NOT included as a dependency. You just need to install it separately.

This also allows you to swap in a different bus, such as an i2cdriver if desired.

API

ADS1115(bus, addr = 0x48)

Creates an ADS1115 instance using and existing bus object.

ADS1115.open(busNum, addr = 0x48, provider = 'i2c-bus')

Opens an i2c bus and creates a new ads1115 instance.

busNum - The bus to open addr - The address of the ads1115 device provider - The i2c module to use to open the bus. (default i2c-bus)    The module must conform to the i2c-bus@^5.0.0 interface.    TIP! Try an i2cdriver for development!

ads1115.gain

Gets or sets the gain. You can use a Number or String.

Valid values: 2/3 = +/- 6.144V (default) 1 = +/- 4.096V 2 = +/- 2.048V 4 = +/- 1.024V 8 = +/- 0.512V 16 = +/- 0.256V

ads1115.measure(mux)

Requests a single measurement.

Valid values for mux parameter: '0+1' = Differential measurement between A0 & A1 '0+3' = Differential measurement between A0 & A3 '1+3' = Differential measurement between A1 & A3 '2+3' = Differential measurement between A2 & A3 '0+GND' = Single-ended measurement on A0 '1+GND' = Single-ended measurement on A1 '2+GND' = Single-ended measurement on A2 '3+GND' = Single-ended measurement on A3
