This is a port of the INA219 Arduino library originally created by K. Townsend (Adafruit Industries)
It has been tested on MMBasic v5.04.04. It also includes corrections to the PowerDivider_mW calculation in the calibration routines.
The datasheet for the INA219 can be found
here.The INA219 is a very handy little voltage/current/power sensor that communicates via the I2C databus.
I hope you all find it as handy as I have!
GTG!
