      @obstbauer thats what i did with mine initially, calibrate with known current value

          @obstbauer yeah thats the registers table, I used Uiflow2 with calibration block but you are using not M5Stack controller I see

            @robski what value do you take for "index" in the function

            void MODULE_4_20MA::setCalCurrent(uint8_t index, uint16_t value)

              @obstbauer haven't used index value

              in uiflow2 ..ain4_20ma_0.set_cal_current(10) to set 10mA
              ain4_20ma_0.set_cal_current(20) to set 20mA

                @robski yes maybe in uiflow2 but the function for the c program asks for an index and a value

                  I see really strange behaviour and I don't know the reason and I get no answers from the support.....
                  The example code from M5Stack say that the currentvalue should be divided by 100:

                  canvas.printf("Current:%.2fmA", (float)(meter.getCurrentValue(0)) / 100.0);
                  

                  The values I get I have to divide by 10 to get the right current in mA.... and the other issue is that I can only use half of the measurement range, at 12.5 mA the ADC sends 65520...

                  maybe someone has an idea ?

                    change to a raspberry PI4 seems to be no solution too.....
                    it woud be nice if there would be a better documentation for people who want to use the units outside the m5stack universum....

                      @obstbauer this is uiflow example with raw value and float too

                        thank you, but I am still not able to read out or to set the cal current
                        M5Stack support doesn`t answer my mails... and it seems that there is nobody from the company around here, I think I will change to another board with better support

                          @obstbauer TBH if you are using M5Stack modules/units with not M5Stack controllers maybe its worth to have at least one M5Controller (atom?stick? )to be able to check module functionality
