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.▼
'''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]])▼
