    question though

    how much is enough? 25A? 50A? I can go up to 200A but am skeptical of moving that much current through a sensor, hello fire.
    Why not offer options? 25, 50, 100, 150, 200

    Well, two reasons.

    First of all, anything in small quantities is not cheap.

    Second of all, I am just skeptical about putting my name on a product that flows 200A.

    Albert Einstein said it best:

    Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.

    That would be something I would buy... but $30, is it really that complicated?

    Very true... I would like a 200A one... maybe 150 would be fine but I could see how that would be bad for someone who doesn't know what they are doing... I would, in that light, offer 25A and 50A version. Perhaps leaving the 200A ones to us beta testers

    it just costs a lot for the sensor... and then it has to be assembled. I'm not sure why it's so much, probably low demand

    Hmmm... who knows. I know that I would get it and in an environment like a car that kind of sensor would be really useful, even more so in a boatputer

    there are very few single things in a car that will be more than 50 amps, & the few things that would be over 50 amps are not practical to want to monitor anyway, so I think a 25 & a 50A would do the trick...


    got another possibility, distance sensors, that would also be pretty cool, if you could have them at front & rear of the car, & then skin a display to show the distance graphicly....

    Two options:
    4-30 inches
    or
    8-60 inches
