Overview

The MATEKSYS I2C-INA-BM is an ultra-precise digital power monitor board based on the TI INA228 IC. It monitors battery (bus) voltage and current via the I2C interface, with a 200 uOhm typical conductive path resistance for low power loss. It supports up to 3 boards on one I2C bus in parallel and is designed for use with ArduPilot firmware (no calibration required).

Key Features

  • Based on TI INA228 (85-V, 20-bit, ultra-precise power monitor IC) with I2C interface
  • Battery voltage sense input: 0~85V
  • Current sense range: 0~204.8A (150A continuous, 204.8A burst)
  • Voltage accuracy: ±0.1%; current accuracy: ±2%
  • Supports 3x boards on one I2C bus in parallel (I2C address options shown on board: default 69, options 68 and 65)
  • Compact size: 27mm x 20mm x 6mm; weight: 4g; mounting hole: phi 3mm

Configuration (ArduPilot)

  • BATT*_MONITOR -> 21 (INA2XX)
  • BATT*_I2C_ADDR -> 0 (or 69, 68, 65)
  • BATT*_I2C_BUS -> 0/1/2 (depends on the FC I2C bus connected)

  • BATT*_MAX_AMPS -> 204.8

Multiple-board setup example (as shown): BATT1_I2C_ADDR -> 69; BATT2_I2C_ADDR -> 68; BATT3_I2C_ADDR -> 65.

Applications

  • Battery voltage and current monitoring for RC planes, drones, and other battery-powered devices
  • Single-battery systems (common ground between controller and ESC/load)
  • Two-battery systems (add a ground wire between I2C-INA-BM and BATT-1, as shown)
  • Multi-sensor I2C installations (up to 3 boards in parallel)

What's Included

  • 1x I2C-INA-BM board
  • 1x JST-GH-4P to JST-GH-4P 20cm silicon wire

Note (as shown): silicon wires and XT60 connectors are not included in package.

Installation Notes

  • The big pad on the bottom side is a dead pad (no circuit network).
  • Solder the positive wires as close as possible to both sides of the current sensing resistor.
  • Compatible with ArduPilot firmware only now.

MATEKSYS I2C-INA-BM I2C power monitor board with FL200 shunt, JST-GH 4-pin ports, 27×20mm

The MATEKSYS I2C-INA-BM power monitor uses JST-GH 4-pin I2C connectors and onboard pads for selecting the I2C address (default 69/68/65).
