    @timemage inside the MAX471: "The MAX471 has an internal 35mΩ current-sense resistor and measures battery currents up to ±3A. " Commented Feb 21, 2021 at 17:14
  • @dandavis, interesting. I've not seen that done before with these. Commented Feb 21, 2021 at 17:16
  • @dandavis it's actually an ESP32 but I only found arduino uno as the only microcontroller in the schematic software. That's why it says 12 bit ADC Commented Feb 21, 2021 at 17:20
  • That's actually a completely different beast, and make sure you compensate for YOUR ESP32's ADC's unique response curves. If you have a SMU you can easily calibrate this, but you can also do it using a reliable current source, a high-precision resistor, and a pair of off-the-shelf DMMs. Commented Feb 21, 2021 at 17:22
