Low current sensor?
Posted: Sat May 02, 2009 1:08 pm
I'm working with the 20AMP current sensor. Its not good at detecting small currents in my electronics circuit.
I need to monitor/measure current between 30mA (.03A) and 1A. The phidgets 20AMP sensor only really starts reacting around .5A.
Is there any way to improve this? I tried increasing the sensitivity but nothing really improved.
Is there a low current precision sensor available? Would seem extremely easy to make one, I'm surprised there isn't one.
The precision voltage sensor is great by the way.
