Nano Current Meter using ATtiny84
https://www.electronics-lab.com/nano-current-meter-using-attiny84/
David Johnson-Davies published another great tiny project. He writes: This project describes a simple low-current meter I devised to check the sleep current of different microcontroller circuits, such as ones based on AVR microcontrollers. It’s capable of measuring currents of between 10µA and 30nA with reasonable accuracy, using an ATtiny84 and a few other low-cost […]
