/*******************************************************************************************************************
** Program to demonstrate using the interrupt pin of the INA226, a pin-change interrupt handler and the INA226 **
** to read voltage and current information in the background while allowing the main Arduino code to continue **
** processing normally until it is ready to consume the readings. **
** **
** Detailed documentation can be found on the GitHub Wiki pages at https://github.com/SV-Zanshin/INA226/wiki **
** **
** This example is for a INA226 set up to measure a 5-Volt load with a 0.1 Ohm resistor in place, this is the same**
** setup that can be found in the Adafruit INA219 breakout board. The complex calibration options are done at **
** runtime using the 2 parameters specified in the "begin()" call and the library has gone to great lengths to **
** avoid the use of floating point to conserve space and minimize runtime. This demo program uses floating point **
** only to convert and display the data conveniently. The INA226 uses 15 bits of precision, and even though the **
** current and watt information is returned using 32-bit integers the precision remains the same. **
** **
** The INA226 is set up to measure using the maximum conversion length (and the maximum accuracy) and then average**
** those readings 64 times. This results in readings taking 8.244ms times 64 = 527.616ms or just less than 2 times**
** a second. The pin-change interrupt handler is called when a reading is finished and the INA226 pulls the pin **
** down to ground, it resets the pin status and adds the readings to the global variables. The main program will **
** do whatever processing it has to and every 5 seconds it will display the current averaged readings and reset **
** them. **
** **
** The datasheet for the INA226 can be found at http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/ina226.pdf and it contains the **
** information required in order to hook up the device. Unfortunately it comes as a VSSOP package but it can be **
** soldered onto a breakout board for breadboard use. The INA226 is quite similar to the INA219 mentioned above, **
** but it can take bus voltages of up to 36V (which I needed in order to monitor a 24V battery system which goes **
** above 28V while charging and which is above the absolute limits of the INA219). It is also significantly more **
** accurate than the INA219. **
** **
** The interrupt is set to pin 8. The tests were done on an Arduino Micro, and the Atmel 82U4 chip only allows **
** pin change interrupt on selected pins (SS,SCK,MISO,MOSI,8) so pin 8 was chosen. **
