The Texas Instruments __ADS1015 +/-24V Analog Digital Converter__ is a 2 x 1.5mm integrated circuit implemented by both AdaFruit and Pimoroni as [I2C]-compatible breakout boards (Pimoroni's is a "Breakout Garden" board). It can be used to measure analog voltage sources between -24V DC to +24V DC at sampling rates up to 3.3kHz, returning a value with 12 bit precision.

The thumbnail image to the right is roughly the size of the Adafruit and Pimoroni boards, which measure 28 x 17mm and 24 x 21mm respectively. As of January 2020 the price of the AdaFruit board is US$9 (~NZ$14), the price of the Pimoroni board is £12 (~NZ$24). The Adafruit board is also available from DigiKey NZ at NZ$16.57 (where shipping is free if you order over NZ$66).
