Power Supply test/monitor

The project needed something to sample the voltage and current while the PSU was in operation to detect the slightest change in the response time. I found that the ADS1115 would do but all I could find are SMD versions of the ADS1115, but they are not good to use when prototyping on a breadboard. I found some that were adapted to SIP or DIP, but either they were bulky or didn't use all of the connections to the ADS1115. I designed this to be compact using all of pins from the ADS1115 and the minimum components needed to use the device. It is compatible with breadboards and prototyping boards with minimum footprint. The design came out better than expected. I was amazed with the precision of the contacts and the traces on the board. I used to make my own boards long ago but they were always bulky and had a very hard time with creating small traces or even getting the traces to come out right. I found PCB CAD Design programs and learned how to design PCBs. To see the design in physical form is superb.
