Overview

This is an Arduino library for the Texas Instruments ADS7828 12-bit, 8-channel I2C A/D converter.

Features

The following features are available:

  • Up to (4) A/D converters can be used on the same I2C bus (hardware-addressable via pins A0, A1 and software-addressable via ID 0..3; address 0x48..0x4C)
  • A/D conversions may be initiated on a bus-, device-, or channel-specific level
  • Retrieve values as 16-period moving average or last sample
  • Built-in scaling function to return values in user-defined engineering units

Installation

Library Manager

Install the library into your Arduino IDE using the Library Manager (available from IDE version 1.6.2). Open the IDE and click Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries…

Scroll or search for i2c_adc_ads7828, then select the version of the library you want to install. Quit/re-launch the IDE to refresh the list; new versions are automatically added to the list, once released on GitHub.

Refer to Arduino Tutorials > Libraries Using the Library Manager.

Zip Library

Refer to Arduino Tutorials > Libraries Importing a .zip Library.

Manual

Refer to Arduino Tutorials > Libraries Manual Installation.

Schematic

This library has been tested with an Arduino Duemilanove and a Texas Instruments ADS7828 A/D converter.

Below is a simplified schematic diagram. Refer to the datasheet for specific requirements.

Example

The library contains sketches that demonstrates use of the i2c_adc_ads7828 library. You can find these in the examples folder.

#include <i2c_adc_ads7828.h>


// device 0
// Address: A1=0, A0=0
// Command: SD=1, PD1=1, PD0=1
ADS7828 device(0, SINGLE_ENDED | REFERENCE_ON | ADC_ON, 0x0F);
ADS7828* adc = &device;
ADS7828Channel* ambientTemp = adc->channel(0);
ADS7828Channel* waterTemp = adc->channel(1);
ADS7828Channel* filterPressure = adc->channel(2);
ADS7828Channel* waterLevel = adc->channel(3);


void setup()
{
  // enable serial monitor
  Serial.begin(19200);

  // enable I2C communication
  ADS7828::begin();

  // adjust scaling on an individual channel basis
  ambientTemp->minScale = 0;
  ambientTemp->maxScale = 150;

  waterTemp->minScale = 0;
  waterTemp->maxScale = 100;

  filterPressure->minScale = 0;
  filterPressure->maxScale = 30;

  waterLevel->minScale = 0;
  waterLevel->maxScale = 100;
}


void loop()
{
  // update all registered ADS7828 devices/unmasked channels
  ADS7828::updateAll();

  // output moving average values to console
  Serial.print("\n Ambient: ");
  Serial.print(ambientTemp->value(), DEC);
  Serial.print("\n Water temp: ");
  Serial.print(waterTemp->value(), DEC);
  Serial.print("\n Filter pressure: ");
  Serial.print(filterPressure->value(), DEC);
  Serial.print("\n Water level: ");
  Serial.print(waterLevel->value(), DEC);
  Serial.print("\n- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - \n");

  // delay
  delay(1000);
}

Caveats

Conforms to Arduino IDE 1.5 Library Specification v2.1 which requires Arduino IDE >= 1.5.
