How the MCU 219 INA219 I2C Bidirectional Current Sensor Module Works ?
The MCU 219 INA219 I2C Bidirectional Current Sensor Module works by utilizing the INA219 sensor chip to measure the voltage drop across a shunt resistor placed in series with the current flow path. Here's how it works:
Voltage Measurement: The module measures the voltage drop across the shunt resistor using the INA219 sensor chip. This voltage drop is directly proportional to the current flowing through the circuit according to Ohm's Law (V = I * R).
Current Calculation: The module calculates the current flowing through the circuit by dividing the measured voltage drop by the known resistance value of the shunt resistor. This calculation yields the current passing through the circuit.
Bidirectional Current Monitoring: The INA219 sensor chip allows for bidirectional current measurement, meaning it can accurately measure both positive and negative currents flowing through the circuit. This capability makes it suitable for applications where current flow can change direction, such as battery charging/discharging systems.
I2C Communication: The module communicates with the host microcontroller (such as an Arduino or Raspberry Pi) via the I2C interface. This enables the microcontroller to configure the module, read current measurements, and perform other control functions as needed.
Data Retrieval: The microcontroller can request current measurements from the module using I2C communication protocols. The module sends back the measured current values, allowing the microcontroller to process and use the data for various purposes, such as displaying current readings on a display or logging them to a memory device.
In summary, the MCU 219 INA219 I2C Bidirectional Current Sensor Module accurately measures current flow in electronic circuits by monitoring the voltage drop across a shunt resistor and communicating the measurements to a host microcontroller via the I2C interface. This enables precise current monitoring and control in a wide range of applications.
