    :alt: Build Status

Support for the ADS1x15 series of analog-to-digital converters. Available in 12-bit (ADS1015)
and 16-bit (ADS1115) versions.

Installation & Dependencies
===========================

This driver depends on:

* `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_
* `Bus Device <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_BusDevice>`_

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This can be most easily achieved by downloading and installing
`the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle>`_ on
your device.

Installing from PyPI
--------------------

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-ads1x15/>`_. To install for current user:

.. code-block:: shell

    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ads1x15

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

.. code-block:: shell

    sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ads1x15

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

.. code-block:: shell

    mkdir project-name && cd project-name
    python3 -m venv .env
    source .env/bin/activate
    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ads1x15

Usage Example
=============

Single Ended
------------

.. code-block:: python

    import time
    import board
    import busio
    import adafruit_ads1x15.ads1015 as ADS
    from adafruit_ads1x15.analog_in import AnalogIn

    # Create the I2C bus
    i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)

    # Create the ADC object using the I2C bus
    ads = ADS.ADS1015(i2c)

    # Create single-ended input on channel 0
    chan = AnalogIn(ads, ADS.P0)

    # Create differential input between channel 0 and 1
    #chan = AnalogIn(ads, ADS.P0, ADS.P1)

    print("{:>5}\t{:>5}".format('raw', 'v'))

    while True:
        print("{:>5}\t{:>5.3f}".format(chan.value, chan.voltage))
        time.sleep(0.5)

Contributing
============

Contributions are welcome! Please read our `Code of Conduct
<https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_CircuitPython_ADS1x15/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md>`_
before contributing to help this project stay welcoming.

Building locally
================

To build this library locally you'll need to install the
`circuitpython-build-tools <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython-build-tools>`_ package.

.. code-block:: shell

    python3 -m venv .env
    source .env/bin/activate
    pip install circuitpython-build-tools

Once installed, make sure you are in the virtual environment:

.. code-block:: shell

    source .env/bin/activate

Then run the build:

.. code-block:: shell

    circuitpython-build-bundles --filename_prefix adafruit-circuitpython-ads1x15 --library_location .

Sphinx documentation
--------------------

Sphinx is used to build the documentation based on rST files and comments in the code. First,
install dependencies (feel free to reuse the virtual environment from above):

.. code-block:: shell

    python3 -m venv .env
    source .env/bin/activate
    pip install Sphinx sphinx-rtd-theme

Now, once you have the virtual environment activated:

.. code-block:: shell

    cd docs
    sphinx-build -E -W -b html . _build/html

This will output the documentation to ``docs/_build/html``. Open the index.html in your browser to
view them. It will also (due to -W) error out on any warning like Travis will. This is a good way to
locally verify it will pass.
