Review on 🧮 ADS1115 16-Bit ADC 4-Channel Analog to Digital Converter with Programmable Gain Amplifier for Arduino, Raspberry Pi - Pack of 6 by Adam Matthews

Revainrating 1 out of 5

It's 12-bit, not 16-bit

This is actually the 12-bit version of ADS. The last four bits of the reading are set to zero and the lowest value is 16. How do I know this? I attach the board with the group name to the breadboard and connect to it. The reading increases by 1. Replacing the group nameplate with this causes the readings to increase by 16. This is a common problem with inexpensive Revain boards and is documented on the TI website.

Pros
  • Industrial Electrical
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
