INA219 wiring

How do i wire up a INA219 module to monitor the esp8266. I have the i2c done and the vcc and gnd but where do i connect the vin- and vin+ ?

thanks Nikki

Thanks I had seen that but to power the esp do i put vin- and gnd to the vin and gnd on the esp ?

What do you mean exactly?

[nikki81]

I am trying to measure how much power the esp is using

[grovkillen]

Then:

Code: Select all

Vin+ <----> Vin (ESP)
Vin- <----> Gnd (ESP)

Just as you would measure it with a multimeter.

Smoke signals are usually a bad thing when experimenting with pcb's...

I see it as a lesson learned.
