It belongs with the iot & wireless, sensors and test & measurement designs in this gallery.

From the project

Hardware and software design for NB-Scope.

Auxilliary boards are used to extend the capability of the mainboard and shieldboard, as well as to calibrate the current sensors.

Since the 0.1 Ohm current sensing resistors are different, the current sensing should be calibrated as per mainboard.

You need a series of resistors for this board. The actual resistance does not matter. We just compare the sensor reading with the digital multimeter or power monitor reading.
