Generic implementation of I2C ADC extenders like ADS1115, ADC121

[hyteoo]

Although there is support for I2C ADC extenders, they are implemented for energy measurement.

Would it be a good idea to just have like a generic ADS1x15 with raw outputs (like the internal ESP8266 ADC), to be used for whatever (voltage measurement, NTC, etc)?

Hi, the same issue here. I've bought an ADS1115 to use it as 4 Channel analog Input like the A0 from the ESP8266. It would be nice to get this feature. Thanks.

As referenced in the commit, there is now EmonADS1X115Sensor::I2CPort:

espurna/code/espurna/sensor.cpp

Lines 1871 to 1872 in 44298d4

	auto port = std::make_shared<EmonADS1X15Sensor::I2CPort>(
	EMON_ADS1X15_I2C_ADDRESS, EMON_ADS1X15_TYPE, EMON_ADS1X15_GAIN, EMON_ADS1X15_DATARATE);

where I2CPort::read(N) is effectively an analogRead(N)

Only noticed the issue after the fact though. I guess it could be further modified as something virtual once again so there's a generic virtual unsigned int Class::analogRead(int channel);, but not inheriting from the BaseSensor stuff.
edit: or, make it chain with baseanalogsensor, and simply make another class
