Hi: I don't understand how it shows the currnent drain. It shows something like 2 : 9 % while I expected to see milliamps or amps. How should I read it? Thanks
It's been a couple months since I had the time to mess with my DCC++ stuff, but if I remember right, I think it means that it's drawing 9% of 2 Amps, since the original motor board used was rated for two amps. That would mean it's drawing about .22 Amps, or 220 milliamps if my calculations are correct. I could be way off base here, TD will know for sure. Andrew
Compared with the Traffic Monitor which shows for example "9/1024". Arduino analog input has 1024 levels, so proximately the value shown by the Current Monitor is percentage of the full measuring range (whatever is the sensitivity set by DCCpp firmware) , I believe.
