Can you share again that library? Because link is not work and i could not find anywhere in internet. );

Hi the link is not working , can you share it again

[@74LS324]

This is the first video I've seen showing acs712 noise through an graph... Thank you very much

[@ahmadaljabr4341]

Just minor correction: 6:18 If you are using the 30 amp type, you need to change the value in the code to 0.066 NOT 0.66.

[@easy_3d]

Using this we can check if AC power supply is on or off right? I mean if there is AC power loss we can detect it in the arduino. Exactly what i was looking for ! Thanks

[@mtrcurse]

Sir what sensor should i use for less then 0.4 amp sensitivity ?

[@gpigna]

Thanks for this excellent video. Do you know what the maximum distance of the cable that connects the ACS to the Arduino board can be?... Thank you

[@ShilpaGireesh]

Hi, Could you recommend the above sensor for measuring a current less than 0.9mA from a board? My project is based on Arduino.

[@HaseebAdnan0]

Using a 240v to 12v adapter, can i short the + and - terminals on the left terminal block?

[@chandansaha5286]

It was a great videos. I want to measure current in microamps, what kind of circuit can i use.

[@pushprajprajapati9488]

The code for measuring AC current is not functioning properly.

[@cinnamonshake45]

what is the unit of the current output? is it amps or milli amps

[@anthonybianue9206]

Can someone please explain to me how we are comfortable passing 30a in series through this tiny device with a tiny wire?

[@devilvortex1]

Strange! A multimeter can measure up to 10A for a few seconds and there is a shunt resistor inside. This tiny ic has a copper trace and a Hall sensor up to 20A

[@engr.bilalzia]

I have 20A ASC712 Why is it not measuring current 0.9 A? As multimeter showing. I am following the same procedure. 12V DC source and 12 V load with 0.9A

[@miliohm]

Try using 5A type for small current

[@justinyvesricablanca5734]

Good day Sir. I want to somehow progress this project by adding a gsm shield module so that when the current detected by the sensor is 0 amp, the gsm shield module will then send an alert to my phone through SMS. Is that possible? Your response would be very appreciated.

[@thetechjigger]

Please my current sensor is 30A and after doing everything, my sensor is reading zero current when no load is present but it’s reading 2.5 voltage when no load is present as well

[@roopahyati9124]

thank you it really great help from your code...thank you..

[@miliohm]

You are welcome 😊

[@dredd3220]

Can the code be used in esp32 and when no load is connected adc value is 816

[@herlambangsihombing0774]

excuse me sir, i got 3070-3080 in my sensor output,.. what wrong with my sensor?

[@donbroady5171]

If im using nodemcu, where vcc is 3v...is there any change i should make for code? If yes what part should i change?

[@GreenuniverseEuro]

Use VIN pin to get 5V otherwise change 5 to 3.3 and 2.5 to 1.65

[@tatendachinhanhu9612]

Can it be possible to display current and voltage at the same LCD using that same sensor

[@miliohm]

You can't measure voltage using this sensor. Use this instead : kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZKZlKKmrNyabtk

[@carlojoshuacrisanto9598]

Can the sensor read negative current? I want to experiment this on motorcycle stator.

[@miliohm]

Sure, the output will below half of vcc if negative

[@wongruixing1478]

Hi, do you have a video of using arduino uno using acs712 sensor and a voltage sensor? i am doing a project currently and will be greatly appreciate

[@miliohm]

for easier use, I will suggest you a PZEM sensor, if you need a DIY voltage sensor you can make one with a rectifier and voltage divider. Unfortunately, I don't have one right now.

[@pratikbhagat9894]

can ACS useful for single phase ac motor like drill

[@miliohm]

Depends on the current, as long as it is more than 0.3A I think it's safe

[@davidaa82]

I plan to utilive the sensor for a current of about 1.27 amps, will this be sufficient for the 5amp input module? If not then which adc would you recommend? for the voltage sensor on my device, I understand the arduiono has one available that will need a voltage divider for measurment.

[@miliohm]

Sure, 1.27 amp is far less than 5A. If you are using arduino, it's already has the adc. For simpler use, you can use INA219. It's digital DC current and voltage sensor. I also already made video about that.

Ok if this guy passed 230VAC through the devBoard I am no longer feared to use this -_-

[@cinnamonshake45]

well technically it didnt pass it through the devBoard but the sensor only...

[@welshdave5263]

It was only 12V going through the sensor, it can only take between 0V and 25V DC.

[@LAMBOMODS]

why did you use 1023? When the base is 1024? other tutorials use 1024... Please explain why u used 1023. Thank you for video :) vOut = (voltageSensorVal / 1024) * vCC; // convert the value to the real voltage on the analog pin

[@miliohm]

I just follow the readAnalogVoltage example from arduino sketch I guess.

[@markov4119]

Because it is an ADC and the formula is out/Vin = ((2^n) - 1) / Vref since he's using Arduino Uno which has a 10 bit ADC and his Vref is 5Vdc then I guess you can do the maths. In short the full-scale of the ADC is 1023 and not 1024, but personally I don't think it makes a big difference. You're welcome!
