During my summer break, I reupload successful videos of the past (for your rainy Sundays). This one aired on April 5th, 2020.  Measuring current is simple. Right? You just take a multimeter, connect it to the two cables, and read the value. If you want to do the same with a Microcontroller like an Arduino or an ESP, things get a little more complicated. Let’s dig into it to see how it works! And which is the best sensor for our projects?

7 Sensors tested: Measuring Current with Microcontrollers (Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266)

Hi folks, I like walking the positive road. The way climate change is addressed by those who should address it frustrated me like a lot. And wel that got me thinking . What can i do. ?? So 7 year ago i made the decision to quit my job and start building a energy neutral house that we now live in (almost finished :-) . David thanks for doing what you are doing. Cheers mate.
