Arduino 25v Voltage Sensor Module

This document summarizes an Arduino voltage sensor module that can measure voltages up to 25V. The module contains a voltage divider with a 30K and 7.5K resistor that steps down higher voltages to 5V or less for the Arduino analog input. The module has inputs for the voltage to measure and ground, and outputs to the Arduino analog pin and ground. A code example shows how to read the voltage value using the module and display it on the serial monitor.

Arduino 25V Voltage Sensor Module

The Basics
The Arduino analog input is limited to a 5 VDC input. If you wish to measure higher voltages, you will need to resort to
another means. One way is to use a voltage divider. The one discussed here is found all over Amazon and eBay.

It is fundamentally a 5:1 voltage divider using a 30K and a 7.5K Ohm resistor.

Keep in mind, you are restricted to voltages that are less than 25 volts. More than that and you will exceed the voltage
limit of your Arduino input.

Basic Connection

Inputs
 GND – This is where you connect the low side of the voltage you are measuring. Caution! : This is the same
electrical point as your Arduino ground.
 VCC: The is where you connect the high side of the voltage you are measuring

Outputs
 S: This connects to your Arduino analog input.
 – (or minus): This connects to your Arduino ground.
 +: This is not connected. It does absolutely nothing… zilch… nada… jack diddly doo doo.

Schematic
The schematic for this is pretty straight forward. As previously mentioned, its just a couple of resistors. In fact, you
could build your own in a pinch.
Tutorial
The Connections
Find yourself a 9 volt battery and connect it, your voltage sensor module and Arduino as shown below.

The Sketch
Enter the following sketch, upload it and go to town. If you open your Arduino serial monitor you
will be able to see the voltage.

int analogInput = A1;


float vout = 0.0;
float vin = 0.0;
float R1 = 30000.0; //
float R2 = 7500.0; //
int value = 0;
void setup(){
pinMode(analogInput, INPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.print("DC VOLTMETER");
}
void loop(){
// read the value at analog input
value = analogRead(analogInput);
vout = (value * 5.0) / 1024.0; // see text
vin = vout / (R2/(R1+R2));

Serial.print("INPUT V= ");
Serial.println(vin,2);
delay(500);
}
