Best Differential Amplifiers
To get you started, we have example code for both the Raspberry Pi (in our Adafruit Pi Python library) and Arduino (in our ADS1X15 Arduino library repository) Simply connect GND to ground, VDD to your logic power supply, and SCL/SDA to your microcontroller's I2C port and run the example code to start reading data.

"Pefect for current shunts and other low output sensors."
"That said everything hooked up to my Raspberry Pi B+ I2C buss extremely easily and the well done example code is a breeze to get the ADS1115 running in single-ended and differential modes with very little effort."
"Easy to use with publicly available libraries and example code."
"The chip requires more code to support operation ... a lot more. An external power supply is a good thing: a DROC regulated voltage module (available thru Amazon) lives up to its claims, is easily powered with an older e.g. 18V laptop power supply, and thereby improves on reading precision."
"High resolution via programmable settings."
Best Current Sense Amplifiers
To-92 package, easy to weld on the PCB board.
