## About Measurements
Calibration is mandatory to get **getCurrent()** and **getPower()** to work.
Calibration with **setMaxCurrentShunt()** is mandatory to get **getCurrent()** and **getPower()** to work.

With the calibration function **setMaxCurrentShunt()** one can just set the actual value and even
compensate slightly if readings are structural too low or too high.
I noted that the **getPower()** function does not always equal **getBusVoltage()** times **getCurrent()**
Cause is rounding/trunking maths and time of measurement. You might prefer to multiply those values yourself
to get extra digits. Please be aware that more digits is not always more exact (think significant digits)

The example sketch **INA226_setMaxCurrentShunt.ino** switches between two calibration modes.
It shows the **INA266** sensor needs time to accommodate to this change.
In practice you should call **setMaxCurrentShunt()** only once in **setup()**

## Versions
#### 0.2.0
- **reset()** also resets the calibration (current_lsb, maxCurrent and shunt),
thereby forcing the user to redo the calibration call with **setMaxCurrentShunt()**.
- fixes issue #11 => a factor 10 bug in current_lsb.
- some edits in readme.md.
- added **bool isCalibrated()**.

### Configuration
Note: the conversion time runs in the background and if done value is stored in a register. The core functions read from the registers, so they are not blocked, but just get the same value if no new is ready.

- can the calibration math be optimized
- integer only?
- less iterations?
- local var for current_lsb?
