All you need is an arduino, the resistor you want to measure, and another. Sensor circuit for measuring voltage drop across the sensors using. You can then calculate the voltage drop across the resistor by subtracting the lower analog input. The current through the dut is converted to a voltage by dropping it across a. The voltage range measured is increased using a voltage divider resistor network. I discuss ohms law, a bit about the wattage rating of. To measure the voltage drop i used the shunt connected in a lowside way, i. The sourcemeter was designed as a homemade currentvoltage iv tester to measure the iv characteristics of a.
I made a quick start guide for this tutorial that you can download and go back. My problem is while mosfet is off the battery voltage that arduino reads is batterys 100% voltage e. It is recommended that you should not go below 7v to allow for the voltage drop across the power regulator. So unless the resistor you want to measure across has one end wired to its circuit ground common. How to measure current into arduino microcontroller. Now, when you open your serial monitor in the arduino ide by clicking on. I measure the voltage drop across a resistor and them multiply it by the value of the. Basically, the shunt voltage drop will be too small to read directly into arduino, so you need to amplify it to get descent resolution. Measuring voltage with arduino starting electronics.
