LaskaKit INA219 current sensor

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.

The INA219 sensor is an integrated circuit developed by Texas Instruments that is used to measure current and voltage in electrical circuits. This sensor is often used to monitor and control the energy consumption of electrical equipment. 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 INA219 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 Arduinosingle-board computer Rock Pi or Raspberry Pior other development kits with an I2C bus.
