Product Description

RAK16000 is a part of the WisBlock Sensor Series that is capable of measuring DC current in the range of 0 to 3 A in a voltage range of 0 to 26 V. With the two measured DC values, you get the power consumption by multiplying the current and voltage. Additionally, this module uses the INA219BID from Texas Instruments that offers high accuracy maximum rate of 0.5% over temperature.
