Goodnight,

I’ve just bought your ACS714 Current Sensor Carrier -5 to +5A and I would like to measure the current consumed by a DC motor, I’m building an OLED’s printer and I’m trying to avoid paper jam, so Does the motor has to be connected in series with the H bridge and the sensor? Can I use both through-holes in each side to conect from board - to sensor - to motor? I’ve been loking information about this feature but I didnt find much.

H bridge output - IP sensor terminals - Motor :question:

Hello.

The sensor should be hooked up in series with the component you are trying to measure the current through.
