I just got this sensor, the IC2 part of it works fine. I finally wired it and Im monitoring a small bulb, but my voltage (the power supply voltage is totally off)
Plese see pics.
What am I doing wrong?
I get
12:43:31.414 -> LIPO_Battery Bus Voltage: 5.98 V
12:43:31.414 -> LIPO_Battery Shunt Voltage: -2.72 mV
12:43:31.414 -> LIPO_Battery Load Voltage: 5.98 V
12:43:31.452 -> LIPO_Battery Current 1: 27.20 mA
12:43:31.452 ->
12:43:33.431 -> ------------------------------
12:43:33.431 -> LIPO_Battery Bus Voltage: 5.48 V
12:43:33.431 -> LIPO_Battery Shunt Voltage: -2.72 mV
12:43:33.431 -> LIPO_Battery Load Voltage: 5.48 V
12:43:33.431 -> LIPO_Battery Current 1: 27.20 mA
When the bus voltage is 8v.
By the way, all I wanna do is monitor the input voltage, not current. Is there a smart way to do that? An unpublished command?
According to the photo, your connection is looks incorrect. You should connect your load (i.e. bulb) between two big contact holes, labeled "CH1". Note that you MUST NOT connect "minus" of your load to any GND pins other than "GND" of Channel1.
