Microchip – Rebooting Electronics

I have been looking into developing a device to monitor a solar charging unit. This would be a remote sensor and relay the information back to a base to be presented on a user interface. There are a lot of elements to this type of project and one problem I have been thinking about was how to measure the voltage and current. Since most Microcontrollers have Analogue to Digital Conversion (ADC), I was originally thinking the measurement of voltage was not going to be a problem. But there are still a lot of things to think about when getting a measurement that is accurate and reliable over various load and temperature conditions. After seeing the YouTube video ” #321 7 Sensors tested: Measuring Current with Microcontrollers (Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266)” I became interested in the INA219 and thought to try it out.
