ADS.begin(unsigned int mode)

Description

Configures the ADS1118 to the mode that is defined in the argument of the function. "mode" should be passed as either a '0' or a '1'. 'o' will set the ADS1118 to convert the voltage of the integrated temperature sensor and '1' will set the ADS1118 is set to convert the voltage of the thermocouple. The ADS1118 communicates over SPI, so this function also begins the SPI communication that allows the LaunchPad and ADS1118 BoosterPack to communicate.

ADS.begin(1); //sets to mode 1

mode - an unsigned int that should pass either a '0' or a '1'
