Hi @hu-yue I think you should go as you were suggesting by getting the relevant quantities (voltage and current) by means of the motor interface API. Be careful, because as far as I remember the current readings must be enabled from within the configuration file, at least for |

Hi, I was able to read the currents from the IAmplifierControl interface. At least, I've got some numbers out, I'm not quite sure how to interpret them though. I couldn't find it written in the documentation. |

IAmplifierControl::getCurrent() returns the instantaneous current consumption in mA. |

IAmplifierControl::getCurrent() returns the instantaneous current consumption in mA.
IAmplifierControl::getPowerSupplyVoltage() returns the power supply voltage of the board, expressed in Volts (work in progress)
The power consumption is thus P=V*I (expressed in mW).
Currently you can assume V=40V (the voltage provided by the robot power supply) for all the ETH boards.
