ACS723 current sensor module with ESP32
Supply 5 V
Bus ANALOG
Measures current
Pins and ESP32 wiring
| Pin | Role | ESP32 pin | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power | VIN | Needs 5 V: use VIN |
| GND | Ground | GND | |
| OUT | Analog output | D34 | Bidirectional versions sit at 2.5 V at 0 A and can reach 5 V: use a divider before the ADC |
| IP+ | Not wired to the ESP32 | — | Current path in. Never wire to the ESP32 |
| IP- | Not wired to the ESP32 | — | Current path out |
Suggested wiring for the 30-pin ESP32 DevKit, avoiding flash, input-only and strapping pins. BoardPilot checks it for you as you wire.
This module is sold for 5 V. Its outputs may be 5 V: use a level shifter or a voltage divider on ESP32 inputs.
Starter code (Arduino)
void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); }
void loop() {
int mv = analogReadMilliVolts(34); // OUT on GPIO 34
Serial.println(mv);
delay(200);
}
