Hi and good day,
I have a question regarding the connection of ACS756 current sensor to sense the current of AC load/ appliance. Let say, i wanna measure the current usage of my laptop, then how would i connect the sensor to the laptop?
My first guess was the "livewire" of the AC appliance should be connected to both ends of the ACS breakout board (at IP+ and IP-). However after some trials with microcontroller ADC, the readings were almost stagnant (no change in data). Is the problem caused by the connection or was it normal for AC current readings?
As the tutorial on the website is for DC connection (which I have successfully tried), could anyone show an example of connection for the AC connection? (I have gone thru the net and found none).
Thank you for your time and help!
