DIY Power Meter using T-Display S3 (easiest way to connect modules)

hello I'm glad you are here this project is more complex than usual I'm using Lily goatee display S3 board and few additional modules for example here is real-time clock chip so this project knows what time it is time is shown here next module is based on i n a to one nine which is a current and voltage sensor so when X external circuit is connected to these two plastic connectors I can monitor voltage current row and power of that external circuit so here is potentiometer I can use it to set brightness of display brightness is also shown here yes very cool and very expensive way to change brightness and here is temperature and air pressure sensor I'm using it to measure temperature temperature is shown here it is chilly in my basement with this push button I can invert colors on display and I can't decide which way I love more tell me what you're thinking comments and what is so special about this it looks great it is useful especially because I can monitor power voltage current but hello but what I love the most connecting this was extremely easy there is no breadboard perfor board or additional PCB and I used only four wires or only two pins on this T display S3 all modules are connected using this are using this R square C connector let me show you here I have a another T display S3 and connector is here so real-time clock current and volt sensor potentiometer temperature sensor all of these are I Square C modules and all of these modules are produced by soldered company and I am proud to say that this company is from my country from Croatia they were nice to send me these modules and in return I will promote their site and I will show you more modules Day offer in their line they call a disconnector easy see probably Easy Connect or and on their side you can find whole range of ECC modules and boards they provide a very good documentation and libraries for every module I will leave Link in description feel free to check them okay let's go back to to my project I really love this design it looks like multimeter display and I spend it hours and hours to program this code is free like always and you can find it in a description in a return you can subscribe like share feel free to leave a comment that helps a lot also if you want to support my work you can buy me coffee link is in description thank you okay this is practically power meter and here I have connected a very simple circuit output of my power supply unit is set to 4.6 and I'm very happy with result and we can see that my power supply says that current row is 12 milliamps and my my project says that current draw is 13 .48 my circuit is very easy not very easy very simple sorry I'm still improving my English circuit is powered by 4.6 volts and load is single 330 ohms resistor so let's try to do the math I hope you like this project it was very fun to make and I'm happy I'm happy that I was able to achieve this multimeter multimeter look feel free to use my design and my code I'm not sure if code will work straight if you try to upload it today because I think you will need all of these modules too foreign but you can always edit code and remove Parts related to these so code will work and you can display something else that's it tell me what you think is this useful tell me what you think about my cutting board I tried to record this video on my without this cutting board but it was a mess this way you can easily see all connections and it is very neat and later I can make breakfast here probably have a nice day please leave a comment and yes it is very early here foreign
