Dev - there is a substantial hint (by Eri
c two posts
above mi
ne) that there's already a microcontroller-based current monitoring solution widely used by FRC teams.
By all means think through how you would solve the problem yourself - in fact it's encouraged - but also check into existing solutions.
The first step in any research project is to survey the literature, i.e. read around first.
