March 02, 2012 by serkanozkan	Hello, Do you have any idea how Volt, Amp and (V*A=W)Watt Could be measured a Motor while driven controlled by our MCU? I found some Current sensors just like temperature sensors. But For Voltage measuring I could not find something like that. Is there any one has better idea? B. Regards Serkan
