ADS1115 with Teensy 4.1

Wiring for the ADS1115 16-bit ADC on the Teensy 4.1 (MIMXRT1062DVJ6B, 3.3 V logic), chosen with the same pin rules BoardPilot uses: default buses first, and no pins that are used for flash, USB, the debugger or booting.

Check before you power it on

Supply: 3.3 V from the 3V pin.
I2C uses the board’s default pins 18 (SDA) and 19 (SCL). Most modules include pull-up resistors; if the part is not found, check them and swap-test SDA/SCL.

Test code (Arduino)

#include <Wire.h>

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Wire.begin();  // SDA = 18, SCL = 19 (the board's default I2C pins)
  Wire.beginTransmission(0x48);
  bool found = Wire.endTransmission() == 0;
  Serial.println(found ? "ADS1115 16-bit ADC found at 0x48" : "Not found: check power, GND and SDA/SCL");
}

void loop() {}

Arduino board: teensy:avr:teensy41. Press the white program button once if the upload waits for the board.

Questions

Which Teensy 4.1 pins do I use for the ADS1115?

VDD → 3V, GND → G, SCL → 19 (GPIO_AD_B1_00), SDA → 18 (GPIO_AD_B1_01), ALRT → 2 (GPIO_EMC_04).

Does the ADS1115 work with the Teensy 4.1 at 3.3 V?

Yes: the ADS1115 runs at 3.3-5 V and the Teensy 4.1 uses 3.3 V signals, so no level shifting is needed.

What is the I2C address of the ADS1115?

0x48 or 0x49 or 0x4A or 0x4B. An I2C scan (BoardPilot does it for you) shows which one your module uses.

BoardPilot checks this wiring in 3D as you build it, and finds crossed or missing wires on the real board.
