Hello,

I’m looking for a product like the USB 3.0 power monitor:
https://www.amazon.com/DROK-Multimeter-Capacity-Charging-Alignment/dp/B00S2KHIUK

However, I’d like to be able to access the current measurements via an externally connected board (e.g. Arduino) via I2C.

XYZ Studio made a product like this, but it is no longer in stock.

Does Drok have any product like this, or is there any way to hack the existing drok to achieve this goal?

Regards,
Dave
