The Adafruit INA219 is a precise I2C current and voltage sensor that measures load currents up to 3.2 A and voltages up to 26 V. Perfect for monitoring power consumption in a wide range of projects. STEMMA QT compatible connectors make it easy to get started.
The INA219 chip provides a complete solution for measuring current, voltage, and power. It features a 12-bit ADC with a current resolution of about 0.8 mA. The breakout includes a built-in 0.1 Ω shunt resistor and level shifting circuitry, making it compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V logic. Thanks to the STEMMA QT connectors, you can also connect it without soldering. Ideal for monitoring batteries, motors, or other loads with accurate power measurement.
