Hi
I know that to measure the amps coming from a battery you put a shunt on the negative wire and take measurements from both sides of the shunt, calibrate it using a meter you know to be accurate and there you have it, I have used a cycle analyst before.
My problem is what measurements do you take and how can that be fed into a micro computer like the Arduino.
It may seam like reinventing the wheel as we have the cycle analyst but I have some projects in mind that require this information in a form that can be further processed by the Arduino, the cycle analyst only gives information out visually and the box is too big for my project.
