ina260

Test the voltage, current, and power readings of the Adafruit INA260 High or Low Side Voltage, Current, Power Sensor.

Sketch

The sketch can be found here.

Hypothesis

All of the Adafruit circuit boards can be strung together to monitor the current, voltage, and power of the battery.

The mode is set to recharge when the current is negative and discharge when the current is positive.

The A button on the OLED is used to turn the Powerboost on and off.

All measurements are taken right in front of the batteries and so all are accurate.

First switch is used to turn the Feather on and off.

Second switch is used to override the Feather to turn the Powerboost on and off.
