Example Code for Arduino-AC Current Measurement

Wiring Diagram

DANGER: This diagram can also be applied to AC current connection. But notice that the module should be cascaded on one electric wire ( +/- ). But if you connect it to two electric wires in parallel, you will short the circuit , which is dangerous.

Sample Code

float reading = 0;
float currentValue = 0;

void setup(){
  Serial.begin(115200);
}
void loop() {
  reading = analogRead(*); //Raw data reading
  currentValue = (reading - 510) * 5 / 1024 / 0.04 - 0.34;
  Serial.println(currentValue);
  delay(2);
}

Result

I tested with a lamp @220V~, and got the result shown below:

Since AC current here is a Sine wave, you want to focus on the amplitude of your waveform. You can read the extreme data which are the maxmum value 0.27 and the minimum value -0.34, and use the maxmum absolute value one as the ( Effective) AC current. In this case its .34
