It’s not hard. As you know, RPi doesn’t have built-in ADC. However, OSPi has a PCF8591T 4-channel ADC, so one channel can be wired internally to the current sensing circuit for sensing current.

The sensing circuit itself is just a precision (0.2 ohm) resistor combined with op-amp based active rectifier (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_rectifier) used to sense small AC voltage.

We are currently away till Monday July 21. Orders placed during this time will be shipped on Tuesday July 22. Thank you for your understanding!
