At $10 for a shunt I should think the wise move would be to purchase. I did not realize they were so cheap.
Just wondering. What would the shunts be made from?
Constantan wire has much lower temp. co. eff.
It available here
**broken link removed**
and you would need 41.66cm of it to make a 0.01 Ohm resistor (drops one Volt at 100 Amps).
and I just realize thats 100 Watts!
The purchased shunts look better by the minute...................
BTW the PIC I am going to use does not need the Analogue to Digital converter to be 'programmed'.. It contains an alalogue to digital converter on the chip (in hardware).
