Hi there, I'm using an ADS1115 analogue-digital converter, with 5V supply voltage, with gain set to +-6.144V (I'm reading values between 0.5 and 5 volts, in single-ended mode on three channels of my four).
I seem to be having an issue where when I read one channel, it returns the value associated with the conversion for the previous channel.
I have tried to add a delay in the Adafruit ADS1x15 library between writing the configuration and reading from the conversion register.
However, this does not seem to have resolved my issue. I will post the library code I have below. Does anyone mind taking a quick look and suggesting where I might want to try adding a delay or implementing another change that may help?
Thank you so much.
