I have work around ACS712 with ESP32

This pic is showing value of power load current but i still doesn't turn on anything


and this pic is showing value of power load current on Arduino UNO

I would like to know why esp32 isn't show correct value? and how to get data ACS712 with ESP32

Thank you

You read 2900 which is near 2.5v. You should use voltage divider to halve output of acs712, keep in linear region of ADC, then calibrate and convert.

Can you post it in details as well as its video I am facing the problem and not able to get its proper reading using esp32.

Hi ,
I suposed yhat you are using ACS712-30A for measurement of low currents ( 66mV / A) . It´s not recommended !
This sensor don't has good linearity . Other types of ACS712 has not good linearity, too.
ESP32 support only 1,0V at ADC Input. Then you must do a voltage divider.

I bumping this up because I need to measure current up to 10Amps and voltage from 13-19V with an ESP32.

The ACS series were intended to be for 5V arduinos.

Will the proposed solution of the ebay seller work, just to use a simple voltage divider? What is the adjustment required in the code for this?
