ina260-spin

---

This is a P8X32A/Propeller 1, P2X8C4M64P/Propeller 2 driver object for the TI INA260 Precision Current and Power monitor IC

IMPORTANT: This software is meant to be used with the spin-standard-library (P8X32A) or p2-spin-standard-library (P2X8C4M64P). Please install the applicable library first before attempting to use this code, otherwise you will be missing several files required to build the project.

Salient Features

• I2C connection at up to 400kHz (P1), with alternate address support
• Read manufacturer ID, die ID
• Read shunt current, bus voltage, calculated power
• Set operation mode (one-shot/triggered, continuous, power-down)
• Set conversion time for voltage and current measurements
• Set measurement averaging samples
• Set interrupt/alert source, threshold, active state (open-collector high/low), latching
• Read flags: conversion ready, power overflowed

Requirements

P1/SPIN1:

• spin-standard-library
• P1/SPIN1: 1 extra core/cog for the PASM I2C engine (none if the bytecode-based engine is used)
• sensor.power.common.spinh (provided by spin-standard-library)

P2/SPIN2:

• p2-spin-standard-library
• sensor.power.common.spin2h (provided by p2-spin-standard-library)

Compiler Compatibility

Processor	Language	Compiler	Backend	Status
P1	SPIN1	FlexSpin (6.8.0)	Bytecode	OK
P1	SPIN1	FlexSpin (6.8.0)	Native/PASM	OK
P2	SPIN2	FlexSpin (6.8.0)	NuCode	OK
P2	SPIN2	FlexSpin (6.8.0)	Native/PASM2	OK

(other versions or toolchains not listed are not supported, and may or may not work)

Limitations

• Interrupt threshold parameter is currently a word, which isn't very intuitive
• Doesn't support high-speed mode (2.94MHz)
