Uses the lgpio library to read an analogue-to-digital chip.

The ADS1115 is widely used with sensors to read signals from pressure sensor, light sensors, and temperature sensors. Other uses include industrial automation , Data Acquisition Systems, medical devices, environmental monitoring such as humidity, embedded electronic systems that require high resolution input, robotics, and audio applications for signal processing and sound capture.
