After exploring various current sensors and their ease of programmability with TM4C microcontroller, I am leaning towards using ACS714 with the TM4C129 launchpad.
As the description says "outputs a proportional analog voltage (66 mV/A) centered at 2.5 V with a typical error of ±1.5%.", I assume I have to follow below steps?
1. Connect the VIOUT pin of the sensor to a GPIO at TM4C129
2. Do digital read (gives me a voltage output). Or do I need anything else here?
3. Convert that voltage output to the equivalent current. 2.5V is 0 current and then doing math for the 66mV/A
I am using Energia.
Is there anything else I am missing?
