Detailed Description
A Hall-Effect sensor for measuring current levels in a given path.
Can be used as a current detector
Example:
// Periodically read current levels in a circuit and // send output to PC terminal #include "mbed.h" #include "ACS712.h" // Connect the sensor analog output pin to mbed's AnalogIn pin ACS712 dev(p18); // Connect mbed to pc's USB port Serial pc(USBTX, USBRX); int main() { pc.printf("Sensor Log: \n\n\r"); while (1) { // Read current from sensor and output to pc terminal pc.printf("Sensor Value: %2.2f A\n\r", dev); wait(0.200); } }
