ACS712 Current Sensor

The ACS712 Current Sensor is a board I/O module in the LabWired part catalog. Its catalog type is acs712. It connects to the MCU over GPIO. The catalog gives a supply range of 4.5–5.5 V. It has 3 pins. This part is its pins. There is no separate device model because the MCU’s own GPIO/PWM/ADC model already is the simulation.

From the catalog: OUT is ADC; current is host-driven via SimInput.

How to simulate the ACS712 Current Sensor in LabWired

  1. Open the Playground at app.labwired.com and place an MCU board.
  2. Add the ACS712 Current Sensor (catalog type acs712).
  3. Connect VCC and GND to the supply and ground of the board. Use a supply inside the catalog range of 4.5–5.5 V.
  4. Connect OUT as your circuit needs.
  5. Run the firmware. It reads and drives these pins through the GPIO, PWM and ADC models of the MCU. The part has no separate device model.
