Wie kan mij dit uitleggen en evt helpen via het forum over dit onderwerp.
Allegro ACS712 chip is a leading solid state current sensing solution for power feeds up to 30 amps. Its works using a phenomena called the “hall effect” to indirectly detect current flow through a silicon chip. The output of the ACS712 connects to an analog port on an Arduino board (or any other microcontroller/microcomputer that supports analog sensing). Connected to an Arduino, a call to analogRead() gives you the output of the sensor.

As is usually the case, the chip requires a few external components to function properly; primarily connectors and a filter capacitor/resistor combination to fine tune the sensitivity of the device. As it happens there is a robust market for simple ACS712 sensing boards, resulting in prices under $2 per sensor if you buy directly from a Chinese source on Ebay, or Alibaba. Even on Amazon.com, sensors can be purchased for about $7 each with Prime 2-day shipping, which makes them slightly cheaper per block than sensors for the most cost-effective systems specifically marketed for DCC.
The only issue I’ve seen with these open market sensors is that there is no specific standard for the filter capacitor. Accordingly, different batches of these boards may have a slightly different sensitivity which would have to be accounted for in the software. As you’ll see, that is not nearly as big a deal as it sounds.
For now I think the optimal strategy for anyone trying to install a block detection system with these components, is to buy all the ones you will need (plus a few extra) in a single batch from a single source. At $2 a pop from China, it makes sense to buy in bulk. In my experience that will guarantee they are all tuned the same way.

Over dit board is al heel veel in de modelspoor wereld gepost op youtube maar dit lees ik voor het eerst
Ik weet dat de sensor niet altijd DC op pakt omdat deze wel eens laag is , maar met mijn beperkte kennis werd ik hier wel door
