Version 5 of the USB-C volt/current meters.

Two variations, though we only get to build the LCD equipped unit in this build video.

USB-C VA meters are essential diagnostics tools for a lot of modern equipment repairs, particularly things like Macbooks, iPhones and other USB-C devices ( or you can even use it with adaptor cables ).

Both these units are using the ubiquitous INA219 VA sensor though both can be upgraded to the even higher range INA238 in the future should it ever present itself as being available as a part on the various supplier websites.

The units obtain their power from the PC USB port and communicate blindly back to the PC at ~9600bps (8n1) with an endless stream of V&A data.
