ADS1115 ADC chip is used to convert the analog input signals to digital signals which can be
visualized with the Raspberry Pi. This chip is important because the Raspberry Pi does not have
an on-board analog to digital converter (ADC).

Software Requirements

1. Raspbian Stretch OS

2. Adafruit module for interfacing with the ADS1115 ADC chip

3. Python Module matplotlib used for data visualization

ADS1115 and Raspberry Pi Connections:

VDD – 3.3v – Pin17
GND – GND – Pin 9
SDA – SDA – Pin 5
SCL – SCL – Pin 3
With the connections all done, power up your pi and proceed to install the dependencies mentioned
below.

Step 1: Enable Raspberry Pi I2C interface

Go to Interfacing Options I2C Enable (Yes)

Step 2: Update the Raspberry pi
