Let a kit measure it's own power usage

Post by markruys »

I would like to let a BeagleBone measure it's own power usage. Is it possible to achieve this using the INA169 breakout board? Like this:
  • Vin+ to the power source +
  • Vin- to the power jack of the BBB
  • Vout to a GPIO of the BBB
  • Vcc to the power source+
  • GND to to power source- and the BBB ground
