LaskaKit INA226 sensor for measuring voltage, current and power

Product detailed description

It is not easy to have a complete monitoring system including a battery and even a solar panel or a DC motor.

LaskaKit The INA226 is a precision digital sensor designed to measure voltage, current and calculate electrical power. It is based on the INA226 chip from Texas Instruments, which communicates via the I2Cbus. The module is ideal for power monitoring in embedded systems, battery applications, electronics development or device power consumption testing. Its main purpose is to provide an accurate and reliable way to measure input voltage and current consumption for a variety of applications, including powering embedded systems, solar panels, batteries, motors, LED lighting and other devices.

Our module with INA226 is equipped with two UP connectors. They make it easy to connect the module to the control board and other modules.

You can connect it not only to our development kits such as the universal Meteo Mini with solar panel connection, the easy-to-program ESP32-DEVKit, the very economical and small ESP32-C3 LPKit, the ESPInk with ESP32 and large 4.2" ePaper or the popular kit with ESP32 and 3.5" TFT display.

Finally, it is not necessary to use only our boards - you can use almost any Arduino, single-board computer Rock Pi or Raspberry Pi or other development kits with an I2C bus.
