ACS711 current sensor questions

Thank you! That sounds like it should be ok for my use, since I have the drivers centrally mounted. Most of the time the closest motor is 35mm away, although one can get within 25mm in certain positions. These are 2208 motors.

However I did notice a potential problem with proximity of the sensors to eachother. I’m trying to cram them in on the back side of my Gooser without significantly increasing the board dimensions, but since the plan is to have two boards mounted back-to-back with 1.8mm tall ceramic capacitors and copper bars inbetween, the current sensors are actually very close to the surface of the other board… sensing element maybe 1.3mm from other current-carrying copper. Not sure if that’s enough to cause problems or if I should move them to the top side at the cost of 5mm more board length.
