D1M BLOCKS add tactile cases, labels, polarity guides and breakouts for the popular Wemos D1 Mini SOC/Shields/Clones. One of the issues with the ESP8266 chip is it has only one analog IO pin available. This instructable shows how to assemble the ADS1115 D1M BLOCK, which can add up to 4 additional analog inputs. If that is what you will be using the ADS1115 D1M BLOCK for, I suggest you use it in conjunction with the 2xAMUX D1M BLOCK(s).
The video above shows the process of assembling the pre-made blocks, compiling/uploading, and reading the values of the 4 analog sensors.
Originally the goal was to create an integrated multiplexer and breakout (the ADS1115 + 4 breakouts with the generic A, D, GND, VCC pins), but all attempts (~ 20 different designs with the protoboard) caused EMI related problems with the ESP8266. I have created a PCB design which may overcome this problem; I will report back when they are delivered and tested.
There is now a full Bill of Materials and Sources list.
There is a video above that runs through the solder process for the PIN JIG.
Hookup Side GND pin to ADS1115 G pin as shown (diagram black)
Hookup ADS1115 V pin to 3pin male header pin as shown (diagram red)
Once the pins have been soldered the remaining steps are the same for all D1M BLOCKS.
Not covered in the video, but recommended: put a large dob of hot glue in the empty base before quickly inserting board and aligning - this will create compression keys on either side of the board.
