Was hoping to input it into the microprocessor so I can utilize the information in a program..

there's an external battery, running into a IOIO which is connected to a android phone. I have a solar panel that runs into a solar regulater charging the external battery. Basically I am just wanting to get an idea on either the output of the solar regulator power or the external battery...

Microprocessor i should say. Using an arduino/IOIO, looking for solid connection

not that i can tell, starting to think voltage divider will be the best solution for now

Hey, I'm looking for a robust connection to microcontroller pins, just wondering what everyone has found works best? Cheers

should mention that the batterys are sealed lead

can see this is going to be a problem with this part as the max in voltage is 5V. Does anyone have any experience with IC current sensors? What is the power usage on these components like?

In series to make 12V. Yer I just read the data sheet, your correct in them being rail-to-rail so can just tie negative input to GND.

Wont I need a positive and negative rail to ensure the op amps operate though? Did you just power from the microprocessor?

Hi, I have a solar panel currently charging two 6V batteries after being sent through a solar regulator and was hoping to either monitor the battery levels or the voltage/current being output from the regulator. Was hoping to monitor this through a IOIO microprocessor that has analog inputs...
