INA219 Bidirectional Power/Current Monitor

Overview

This sample application measures shunt voltage, bus voltage, power and current every 2 seconds and prints them to console. The calibration/configuration parameters can be set in the devicetree file.

Sample Output

When monitoring a 3.3 V bus with a 0.1 Ohm shunt restistor you should get a similar output as below, repeated every 2 seconds:

Shunt: 0.001570 [V] -- Bus: 3.224000 [V] -- Power: 0.504000 [W] -- Current: 0.157000 [A]

A negative sign indicates current flowing in reverse direction:

Shunt: -0.001560 [V] -- Bus: 3.224000 [V] -- Power: 0.502000 [W] -- Current: -0.156000 [A]
