This PCB provides an easy way to add an ADS1x15 module to your PiFire build. This allows you to have up to four different modules in your system, and can be chained together via I2C. Use the solder jumpers to select a unique I2C address for each of the modules in your system (default is 0x48). The PCB provides options for JST XH connectors or screw terminals (or if you want to solder wires directly to the board you can always do that too). Lastly, there are boxes where you can designate the value of the populated resistors, for easy reference once you've built it out.
