Does the SimpleFOCShield v3.x actually support 3.3v MCUs?

Hi @Jeremiah_Rose ,

You are abosolutely right!
The ACS712 does not support 3.3V, at least in their datasheets.

However, in my tests I was able to run them consistently at 3.3V without any issues. :smiley:

Also if you use them at 5V rather than on 3.3V. The gain is 0.185 V/Amp and the range of 5Amps would give you the voltage range:

[ 2.5 - 5\times0.185,\quad 2.5 + 5\times0.185 ] = [ 1.575,\quad 3.425]

So it would be just shy outside the range of the 3.3V adc input. The max current you could measure with a 3.3V adc would be

(3.3-2.5)/0.185 = 4.32Amps

Hope it helps!
