PowMeter Shield Nano – Tiny power monitor shield for Arduino

The powerful, tiny power monitor shield for your Arduino Nano.

Constantly and completely monitor your Arduino project’s power consumption with the PowMeter shield. This versatile solution replaces up to four multimeters with a ten gram device.

Advantages of PowMeter Nano:

• A very small footprint. The shield attaches directly to your Nano, adding only 23 millimetres in length
• Allows you to monitor USB voltage and current when powered through the USB port
• Also allows you to monitor power consumption separately on a VIN MON pin
• Peripheral power can be metered via the VAUX pin
• It does not consume any of your project software resources, thanks to the onshield MCU
• The shield draws less then 10 mA
• All components communicate through I2C. This means you can take actions inside your own program depending on current or voltage values retrieved from the components
• Good measurement precision
• You can also use the onshield OLED for your own project
• The OLED screen can be installed on either side of the board
• Reasonable cost
