I connected GND of ESP-8266 to GND of ACS712. Using your code and library I get 13Amps with no load, and no change when I put a 700W load...
Hi, first should use this Arduino. I have not tested it with ESP8266 but it might work. I have no idea what you do wrong. So try it on Arduino UNO make sure it works then try it on ESP module.

It's good you mentioned the bad design of the PCB.... In addition to the problem with high current you mentioned, there appears to be terrible separation between the 5V measurement side and the potentially high voltage side. The chip boasts a 2.1kV isolation, but that PCB looks like it could easily fail well below that (possibly even at 240v mains once it gets a bit of dust on it).
I bought one of these modules and it seems to me there is no way you should run high current through those traces on the pcb -- has anyone done it? It says good for 20 amps ! (no way?)

The AC current should be measured in RMS, not in average. That's why the reading is less than the actual value. Assuming that the current is a sine wave, a simple fix is to multiply the average by 1.11

Hi Robojax! Im doing my final career project and Im building an EPS for a Cubesat. I have to use this type of current sensors with Arduino and MATLAB (college requirement) and I tried to measure 20mA current from Solar Array, but I couldnt read anything (because sensitivity I guess). Im using ACS712 30A with 66mV/A. Is is possible to use the 30A unit or the 5A unit for measurements of 20mA to 500mA? I guess this values are to low that the sensitivity doesnt variate the voltage enough to give measures. Thanks in advance! :)
Hi, Even 5A range is too high for 30mA. Use 2% resistor to measure very accurately. I have another video showing how to measure the voltage. The current would be voltage value of the resistor. Just search my channel
this is the example that you use. didn't understand why you didn't get it from this video? I showed power supply. your power supply is solar panel. to measure you need load. so your solar panel must be connected to a load to measure current. without load, there is no current.
You didn't understand me well I create solar data logger with temperature, voltage, current and LDR sensor I used load which is one lamp 12v 55 watt and my solar max output 100 watt The current sensor didn't read well so this the problem
no. the title says current. so you to use other code and components to do that. but I have energy/power meter code. search my channel. here is the video ruclips.net/video/UK8Kvk8wFmw/видео.html

Hi Robojax! Im doing my final career project and Im building an EPS for a Cubesat. I have to use this type of current sensors with Arduino and MATLAB (college requirement) and I tried to measure 20mA current from Solar Array, but I couldnt read anything (because sensitivity I guess). Im using ACS712 30A with 66mV/A. Is is possible to use the 30A unit or the 5A unit for measurements of 20mA to 500mA? I guess this values are to low that the sensitivity doesnt variate the voltage enough to give measures.
Thanks in advance! :)
Hi,
Even 5A range is too high for 30mA. Use 2% resistor to measure very accurately. I have another video showing how to measure the voltage. The current would be voltage value of the resistor. Just search my channel
please how to Measuring high voltage arduino
Here ruclips.net/video/FaoKzi7tgME/видео.html you can measure any DC voltage .
i want to measure the current from the solar directly , so what i can do ? please help
this is the example that you use. didn't understand why you didn't get it from this video? I showed power supply. your power supply is solar panel. to measure you need load. so your solar panel must be connected to a load to measure current. without load, there is no current.
@@robojax can i contact you in personal to describe to you my problem?
@@robojax what kind of load i need to use ? max amp that i will get from solar is 6A
you made me watch my video and at 6:25 I've shown how to connect it. and if you don't know load, then you need to start from A, B, C of electricity.
You didn't understand me well
I create solar data logger with temperature, voltage, current and LDR sensor
I used load which is one lamp 12v 55 watt and my solar max output 100 watt
The current sensor didn't read well so this the problem
Can I measure both voltage and current using this module?
no. the title says current. so you to use other code and components to do that. but I have energy/power meter code. search my channel. here is the video ruclips.net/video/UK8Kvk8wFmw/видео.html
@@robojax ohhhh okay thanks because I my project is to measure both voltage and current of the battery, charge by solar panel. I kinda having problems. But thanks for the insight. You really help does who comments. Subs!
No problem, my other channel is focusing only on energy like battery solar and charger
Can you connect it with a ads1115 and if they answer is yes are thé caculations then more correct and how do you do that ?
I chececk ADS1115 and found it is gain amplifier. Why would you need gain amplifier? for Arduino you don't need anything else. But if you want to use it without arduino, then here my initial video on this module where I have explained the calculation and no library ruclips.net/video/DVp9k3xu9IQ/видео.html
@@robojax thanks for thé intel
Thank you for the tutorial. I still have a problem when I have zero input current but my 5A sensor read it around 1 A, how can I fix that? and how to convert from A into mA?
if at 0A you get1A and test it if at 3A you are reading 4A, then subtract 1. I know there was issue and addressed it with another sensor and library that I wrote. ruclips.net/video/z-s8UvCWGxY/видео.html I might update this library, but am very busy now.
ive tried your code but there seems to be an error. Im not even trying to upload it yet, just compiling the code and error came up. Im putting the error here. Hope you can help. Thanks in advance

Hi Danial, Thank you for letting me know. I just fixed the link with new library. Please try it and let me know if there is issue. Thank you for not skipping the ads and keep watching them. This will help me a lot.
@@robojax thank you very much for your fast reply and your help. I've tested the codes and its working wonderfully. The readings are very stable even when its set to 30. One problem though, the starting value is too high, at no current, it shows around 150mA. Is there any way i can make this value go down a bit?
just subtract the amount you want. like robojax.getCurrentAverage(300) -0.150
Zero ===0.13 amper ?????
السلام علیکم. سوال تانرا نفهمیدم
@@robojax سلام .شما فارسی بلد هستین ؟
چرا در حالت بدون استفاده ۰.۱۳ آمپر نمایش میده .
البته بنده کتابخانه شما را چک کردم و کاملا دقیق هست .
اما این مشکل را دارد
عوامل مختلف باعث خطا در خواندن مقدار میشود. ۵٪ خطا دراین کشاف (سنسور ) طبیعی است.

@@robojax از هم زبانی و اشنایی با شما خوشبختم .برای برطرف کردن این مشکل راهی هست ؟؟
بلی است. باید کشاف با دقت بالا بگیرید. و ساده ترین راه آن است که شما اگر 100ملی آمپر را مثلا میخواهید اندازه گیری کنید از کشاف مثلا 5 آمپر استفاده کنید نه از 20 آمپر. هر قدر مقدار حد اکثر کشاف بالا برود به همان اندازه خطای 2 تا 5% بزرگتر ظاهر میشود.
You didn't explain absolutely anything about the wiring. Oh yeah, and your library is full of mistakes and doesn't work :) Good job buddy
when you skip the video this is what happens. I have just watch it and wiring is explained wire by wire and even wire color is explained. Library has been tested and works according to the datasheet. Good luck agne.
