Note :

  1. Capacitor C (0.01uF~0.1uF) is recommend to be connected between Vout and GND to reduce output noise
  2. There is an arrow at the top of the sensor which represents current direction, make sure to connect the wire in that direction itself

There can be an offset in the values between the current source and the current senser due to noise generated in the environment.
