Hi Shannon,

Yes using the Mayfly ver 0.5b. I am using the ADS1115, and reading 50 ADS readings at 50us intervals and storing them in an array. I am then taking the median of the array and multiplying by 3.3 before dividing the whole thing by 17585.0.

I have the Mayfly jumper on the ADC section set to 5v rather than 3.3.
It was my understanding that there is a voltage divider already built into the eTape. Would I need to create another on top?

Relevant code is attached.

Thanks for your help.
