IOError: [Errno 121] Remote I/O error

[Fan174]

I am trying to interface ADS1115 with raspberry Pi 3. I am using raspbain jesse. I followed this link https://learn.adafruit.com/raspberry-pi ... sh-ads1115

I am getting following error

pi@raspberrypi:~/Adafruit_Python_ADS1x15/examples $ sudo python simpletest.py
Reading ADS1x15 values, press Ctrl-C to quit...

Pi 3 Pin -------- ADS1115

Pin 1 ---------- VDD
Pin 3 ----------- SDA
Pin 5 ------------ SCL
Pin 9 ------------ Ground

I don't have idea what's cause error getting Please tell me how to fix that error

Disclaimer: I have never used this adc module, so these comments are made purely on the basis of reading the Adafruit website...

In general, you appear to be asking about a vendor-supplied library to support a commercial hardware add-on. The vendor, Adafruit, would probably be a more reliable source of support than the general RPi volunteer community.

Specifically, the error you report has been raised as an Issue in the Github repository for that module:

I had the same problem. When I „i2cdetect“-ed the adress of de adc (analog-digital-converter) it switched between 48 and 49.
The solution was, to connect Pin 1 (ADDR) of the ADS1115 to either GND or VDD.
I hope this also works for you.

If you leave the ADDR pin floating, it may switch between on/off, because it is not being tied one way or the other. This means it could change the address while you are using it - never a good idea.

Hello, did you solve the problem?
I have the same. The connection is made according to the picture except for the display.
