Below you can download the code. You will need the libraries for the LCD, the ADS1115 and the MCP4725 modules and you can download those libraries from below. You will also need the BusIO library so install that with the library manager of Arduino IDE. Read the code for more details, especially the multiplier part. Compile and upload and then test the controller. You can get the code from below in a .zip file or go even lower and copy+paste the code.

The code should use a PID control for better results, but the ADC read and DAC write are slowing the code so much, that a good PID was not working. So, instead of PID I've made a "manual control" and I decide the proportional value dependind on the error range. More in the code...

i2c LCD library ADS1115 library MCP4725 library

Arduino digital constant power controller schematic



This part is important. You see, when you sue the ADS1115, to pass from bit values (0 to 65000), we use a multiplier. By default that is "0.185mv" or "0.000185V". In the code, to measure current, we make a differential measurement of the voltage on the "1ohm" load. Since the load is 1ohm, that will give us DIRECTLY the current value since "I = V/R" and R is 1. BUT!!! The resistor is not exactly 1ohm, so in my case I've adapted the multiplier to 0.0001827. You might need to adjust this variable to other values till you get good readings, so while measuring the value with an external multimeter at the same time, adjust this variable till you get good results.

The same goes here. But in this case, the voltage read is from a voltage divider. You see, the ADS1115 can only measure up to 5V. If the input is higer it will get damaged. So, for that btween the ADS1115 and the main input I've used a 10K and 100K divider and that will equal to a divider of 0.0909090. So, now the multiplier is 0.000185 / 0.0909090 = 0.002035. Now these resistor values are not perfect neighter so we don't have exactly 10K and 100K, that's why my multiplier for voltage read is 0.0020645. Just do the same, measure the voltage on the LCD screen and also with an external multimiter and adjust this value till you get good results. I've measure the resistors but that's not enough. We need precise values.
