== Introduction ==
[[File:ucurrent.jpg|250px|thumb|uCurrent Gold Shunt]]
 
Can be used for measuring very small currents as milli-volt equivalents on a scope / meter. Ideal for measuring the power usage of microcontrollers. Bought with pledges from Hackspace members.
Placeholder Page.
 
The current shunt is kept on the shelves above the electronics benches in a labelled box.
 
'''NOTE: Care is required in using the unit to prevent overloads.'''
 
Due to need to keep the burden voltage low, overload protection is NOT INCLUDED in the design. That means NO FUSES.
 
If you're unsure how to use it - (a) ask!, (b) [http://alternatezone.com/electronics/ucurrent/uCurrentArticle.pdf read this document] ([[media:uCurrentArticle.pdf|Local copy]])
