    How to detect a small flowing current?

    The wrong tree? I think I'm barking up the wrong forest!!! :oops: A voltage-to-current converter sounds to me like "op-amp". Unfortunately, I cannot aford adding one more IC to the board. It's a space problem. :( :idea: Another possibility I'm considering is to forget the dac and make the...

    How to detect a small flowing current?

    Ok. I'll explain the whole thing for those who don't have enough imagination :-) I have a microcontroller with a 8-bit DAC attached to it, so my program can set the DAC's output from 0 to 5V by setting its value from 0 to 255. Connected to the DAC output I have the resistor-led pair. So...

    How to detect a small flowing current?

    Thank you for your reply. Answers 3 and 4 not possible!!! I have a BLACK box, and have no access to the led itself. Cannot place any light sensor or something similar. The answer 2 is also discarded because I must keep the component count and size at a minimum, and I can not aford adding...

    How to detect a small flowing current?

    Hello! I've a black box containing a resistor and a led connected in series to the resistor by it's anode. The black box has two accessible terminals: terminal 1 (which is the free resistor's lead) and terminal 2 (the led's cathode) So I connect the black box to a voltage source and begin a...
