Arduino Uno, does a lower Aref voltage work well for measuring current? without increasing ADC integral non-linearity
I want to measure current using a Arduino Uno and use a very low resistance of 0.1Ohm or lower for the shunt resistor to measure the current(to reduce power waste and heat generation),
as a result ...
