6 open source boards using the ACS711
Real designs built with the ACS711, from public GitHub projects: a quick way to see how others power, decouple and connect it. Each board comes with its KiCad files, full parts list and a render — and you can simulate its firmware on HardLabs.

Microcontrollers on boards using the ACS711
ACS711: common questions
Where can I find a ACS711 reference design?
Each of the 6 boards on this page is a real design using the ACS711. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.
Which microcontrollers do boards using the ACS711 use?
Most are built on Microchip SAM (3) and STM32 (2).
How big is a typical board using the ACS711?
The median is 59.2 × 68.5 mm, and 60% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the ACS711?
By GitHub stars, Esc sigma-4s panel by mstoilov, with 5 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the ACS711 before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
