Crate ohms 

Electrical unit types for embedded targets focusing on ease-of-use and performance

Supported units:

• Current (μA, mA, A)
• Resistance (mΩ, Ω, kΩ, MΩ)
• Voltage (μV, mV, V, kV)
• Power (μW, mW, W, kW)

Each unit type has a corresponding extension trait for creating values from integer and floating point values.

Unit types can easily be converted to and from different denominations.

Ohm’s Law is implemented for Voltage and Current types, allowing you to easily calculate between the three units using the / and * operators.

Examples

Determine the resistance of a 5V, 1A load:

use ohms::prelude::*;

let voltage = 5.volts();
let current = 1.amps();

let resistance = voltage / current; // 5V / 1A = 5Ω
println!("Resistance: {} Ω", resistance.ohms());

Determine the current of a 5V, 220Ω load:

use ohms::prelude::*;

let voltage = 5.volts();
let resistance = 220.ohms();

let current = voltage / resistance; // 5V / 220Ω = 22.72mA
println!("Current: {} mA", current.milli_amps());

Determine the voltage of a 0.5A, 4.7kΩ load:

use ohms::prelude::*;

let current = 0.5.milli_amps();
let resistance = 4.7.kilo_ohms();

let voltage = current * resistance; // 0.5mA * 4.7kΩ = 2.35V
println!("Voltage: {} V", voltage.volts());

Structs

Current

Represents a current value, stored as whole microamps (μA) as a 64-bit value. This value can only be positive.

Power

Represents a power value, stored as whole microwatts (μW) as a 64-bit value. This value can only be positive.

Resistance

Represents a resistance value, stored as whole milliohms (mΩ) as a 64-bit value. This value can only be positive.

Voltage

Represents a voltage value, stored as whole microvolts (μV) as a signed 64-bit value. This value can be positive or negative.
