CircuitPython driver for the INA3221 Triple 0-26 VDC, ±3.2 Amp Power Monitor

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>_
• Bus Device <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_BusDevice>_

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://circuitpython.org/libraries>_ or individual libraries can be installed using circup <https://github.com/adafruit/circup>_.

Purchase one from the Adafruit shop <http://www.adafruit.com/products/6062>_

Installing from PyPI

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-ina3221/>_. To install for current user:

.. code-block:: shell

pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ina3221

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

.. code-block:: shell

sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ina3221

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

.. code-block:: shell

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-ina3221

Installing to a Connected CircuitPython Device with Circup

Make sure that you have circup installed in your Python environment. Install it with the following command if necessary:

.. code-block:: shell

pip3 install circup

With circup installed and your CircuitPython device connected use the following command to install:

.. code-block:: shell

circup install adafruit_ina3221

Or the following command to update an existing version:

.. code-block:: shell

circup update

Usage Example

.. code-block:: python

import time
import board
from adafruit_ina3221 import INA3221

i2c = board.I2C()
ina = INA3221(i2c)

while True:
    for i in range(3):
        bus_voltage = ina[i].bus_voltage
        shunt_voltage = ina[i].shunt_voltage
        current = ina[i].current_amps * 1000
        print(f"Channel {i + 1}:")
        print(f"  Bus Voltage: {bus_voltage:.6f} V")
        print(f"  Shunt Voltage: {shunt_voltage:.6f} V")
        print(f"  Current: {current:.6f} mA")
        print("-" * 30)
    time.sleep(2)
