Hello,
I want to ask if I connect this device:
to the serial of the Arduino will it work? Has anyone experience? And also is there any way to deactivate the LEDS? because I want to reduce power consume...
Thank you

spycatcher2k:
So you want to install the device on and Arduino's USB to see the power consumption, and remove the LEDs (The only source of information output) to reduce the power consumption?Sure, but WHY?
It can output information in ASCII also, but I cannot figure out if I can connect it directly to the Serial, or it needs FTDI drivers only?
Because I want to calculate consumption on device that uses battery...so LEDs are problem.
Because I want to calculate consumption on device that uses battery
But it measures the current through the USB lead so why would it tell you the consumption of a battery driven device?
I will use only the Vcc and the Gnd of each side, so why not work? It will measure the current and the voltage, does it matter if it is USB or common cable/battery?, am I wrong?
I will use only the Vcc and the Gnd of each side,
I don't know what you mean by that.
It will measure the current and the voltage,
Will it? The voltage is going to be 5V what ever that is the USB specification so there is no need to measure it.
