INA226 DC Voltage/Current/Power Monitor

A breakout board for a DC Voltage/Current/Power Meter based on the popular INA226 36-V, Bi-Directional, Ultra-High Accuracy, I2C Current/Power Monitor with Alert.  While many INA226 breakout boards are available from eBay/Banggood/AliExpress (e.g. CJMCU-226) they do not allow for easy connection of the bus voltage. In addition, we list different shunt resistor values you can use to customise the current range to best suit your application. Specifications Design Notes The device is powered via a separate 2.7 to 5.5V power supply connected to J3. Typical power consumption is just 330uA @ 3.3V.  The signed 16-bit bus voltage register has a least significant bit/resolution
