Introduction

This is ACS712 current sensor module, it can detect the AC(analog current) and DC(digital current), there is a sensor named ACS712 used in the ACS712 sensor module, the sensor can detect the current range from -5A to 5A and the output voltage is 185mV/A, when three’s no current have be detect, the output voltage is half of the VCC. when detect the current by Arduino, we use the analog I/O port. The principle of it is based on the hall-effect, so, remember that avoid to measure the current in the magnetic file.    

Features
