IBEM Current Calibration

Dave Williams | DitroniX | G8PUO edited this page Mar 23, 2024 · 7 revisions

The IBEM board has dual parallel current sensors which are fed into separate ADS1115 channels, to provide an amalgamated current.

A single DC Current Offset is provided to easily 'zero' the current, whilst maintaining linear current readings.

The simple process to calibrate the current on your board is:

  1. Connect the board to the battery system but disconnect and chargers/inverters etc.
  2. Take a current reading using the software serial monitor, OLED display or the web interface.
  3. Enter the 'current' value into the DCCurrentOffset.
  4. Reflash and calibration is complete.
