What will I do if I want to make an ammeter of range 0-2A with input voltage 5V
In reply to What will you do? by John_Kripto
Actually, sir, I have followed the step that is described in this link https://circuitdigest.com/microcontroller-projects/arduino-ammeter and take 2.4 ohms resistor to get the desired current but not getting any thing
Hi Devanshu,
For an Ammeter that can measure 0-2A you can either follow the shunt resistor method like this https://circuitdigest.com/microcontroller-projects/arduino-ammeter if you need more understanding
OR
You can use readily available sensors like ACS712 will is hall effect based and is very easy to use. A similar project link is given below
https://circuitdigest.com/microcontroller-projects/iot-electricity-ener…
The voltage rating does not matter for the Ammeter circuit, so you can use it for 5V as well
In reply to Thanks for the reply I follow by Devanshu
What value resistors do you have? Try making up the required values by using resistors in series or parallel.
If you put resistors in series they will add up in value and if you put then in parallel they value will decrease. You can use these two links to calculate the required value.
https://circuitdigest.com/calculators/resistors-in-series-calculator For Resistor in Series
https://circuitdigest.com/calculators/resistors-in-parallel-calculator For Resistor in Parallel
Also make sure the power rating is high enough for 2A to flow through it.
Happy Learning!!

Actually, I 'm following the step by step procedure given in the article of ammeter using Arduino but don't get anything on the LCD. please help me out

That is supposed to be answered by yourself.
If I am suppose to advice, then I would ask you to do some research on the topic before posting a plain question on the forum like this. People are here to aid you not to lift you from scratch
