Hey guys!

I need some help figuring out how to implement an ADS1015 in conjunction with a DPI driven LCD. I'm using Tinkerboy's v2.1.01 controller which has a Pro Micro board. Correct me if I am wrong, but does the ADS1015 utilize i2c? I know using a DPI screen will disable i2c via the GPIO but I'm wondering if the Pro Micro can be used instead?

Any advice or suggestions welcomed.

Thanks!

these may be off some use.....

the DPI screen will be using the same GPIO that are required by the ADS1015 (V-SYNC, H-SYNC / SDA, SCL)...
so i think you most probably wont be able to add that to your build
(could be wrong on this)

Saw you post over in the FB group as well. In case you didn't see my comment there: you don't really need the ads module. It's used because the pi doesn't have ADC capabilities. But since you are using a promicro, which does have ADC, you can use that instead. I'm not sure if tinkerboy used the same button layout as helder/hooly scripts. I'm assuming he probably did. Try flashing the micro with hoolys battery monitor script he wrote for the helder boards, and use pin...a5? I think. For the battery input. Then of course do all the script work on the pi side as well. And you should be good to go

Thanks for the information! I will show my results once my build is complete.
