ABSTRACT:
This project demonstrates the implementation of a digital voltmeter using a Raspberry Pi and
the ADS1115 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). The voltmeter is designed to measure analog
input voltages and display the readings either on the Raspberry Pi terminal or an optional LCD
display. The ADS1115, an I2C-based ADC, enables the Raspberry Pi (which lacks native analog
input capability) to read and process analog voltage signals with high precision. A voltage
divider circuit is employed to safely measure voltages higher than the 3.3V input limit of the
Raspberry Pi. The scaled-down voltage is fed into the ADS1115, which converts it into a digital
signal. The Raspberry Pi then retrieves this signal via the I2C interface, calculates the actual
voltage using the divider ratio and ADC resolution, and outputs the value in real-time. This
project serves as a practical introduction to ADC operation, I2C communication, and voltage
measurement, making it suitable for applications like sensor monitoring, battery level
measurement, and educational purposes.
