## Ina219 **Kind**: global class

new Ina219()

Ina219 is the main class exported from the Node module

ina219.init(address, device)

Called to initilize the INA219 board, you should calibrate it after this.

Kind: instance method of Ina219

Param Type Description
address string Address you want to use. Defaults to INA219_ADDRESS
device string Device to connect to. Defaults to "/dev/i2c-1"

ina219.enableLogging(enable)

Enabled debug logging to console.log

Kind: instance method of Ina219

Param Type Description
enable bool True to enable, False to disable

ina219.writeRegister(register, value, callback)

Reads a 16 bit value over I2C

Kind: instance method of Ina219

Param Type Description
register integer Register to read from (One of INA219_REG_*)
value integer Value to be written
callback writeRegisterCallback Callback to be invoked when complete

ina219.readRegister(register, callback)

Reads a 16 bit value over I2C

Kind: instance method of Ina219

Param Type Description
