Re: Current Clamping Code and Hardware

Allego Microsystems has a number of current sensors with different ranges.

If you don't want to use them, a toroid inductor around the supply wire will give you an indirect measurment of current flowing through the wire. Keep in mind that this output will be polar, so you'll need to bias it to get the data into the RC with validity.
