Gravity: I2C 16-bit Analog to Digital Converter Module

Gravity series sensor modules are some of the more versatile and fun sensors we stock. Water, temperature, gas, motion and more great gravity sensors are fun to add to your hobby projects. But the problem comes when you are trying to use analog sensors with digital control boards like Ardiuno UNO and Raspberry Pi. In the past, that would mean some major tinkering from Makers to solder together a solution, but DFRobot has heard Makers’ woes. Now, the I2C 16-bit Analog to Digital Converter Module is designed to give you an easy plug-and-play converter for pulling the analog sensors into the digital realm.

While Raspberry Pi is renowned for its powerful functionality, it's primarily geared towards digital signals. To access data from analog sensors or devices, you need an external Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) module. That's where the DFRobot I2C ADS1115 shines. Tailored specifically for Raspberry Pi and Gravity series analog sensors, it simplifies sensor integration. Using the 16-bit ADC chip ADS1115, this ADC module supports 3.3V to 5V voltage range. With precision reference voltage and programmable gain adjustment (PGA), it excels at capturing both faint and dynamic signals with unparalleled accuracy. Plus, it boasts four channels for analog signal reading, which can be expanded to eight channels by cascading two ADC modules.

Whether you're working on robotics, automation, or any project demanding precise analog signal acquisition, this module is your go-to solution. At DIYElectronics, we stock Raspberry Pi boards and the tools you need to take your projects to the next level. Unleash the potential of your analog sensors with the DFRobot I2C 16-bit Analog to Digital Converter Module – the missing link for Raspberry Pi enthusiasts.
