I would like to condition the output of a 1.1mV/A current shunt to drive the analog input of a WEMOS D1 Mini (0 - 3.3V). The target application is easy monitoring (wifi) of anything 12V with an Anderson plug. i.e. Vehicle to Caravan charge line, Solar Panel to Battery, Battery to Electric Blanket/Fridge etc. The device is to be powered from the circuit it is monitoring which will be around 12.8V. I am a long way from a bench so have resorted to LTspice. The attached circuit (5KB so I hope it gets thru) appears to behave exactly as desired. However, 2 diodes in series to raise the reference to allow for the negative swing seems to work in LTspice but I am curious what others think about this approach. Justin
