ina219.DeviceRangeError: Current out of range (overflow), for gain 0.32V, device limit reached

[wojciechczyz]

When installing software I am getting this error. I have reported it at ina219 library, yet they point back to the board itself.

That's the output of upsPlus.py, do you consistently get that error? I know I get some bus errors when trying to read during battery probing, so perhaps your timing was unfortunate? Granted, the errors are quite different, but with "correct" timing, I don't know what else can break. ;-)

[wojciechczyz]

This is consistently the same error. Changed batteries, the same error. Tried updating firmware too, still the same error.

This is consistently the same error. Changed batteries, the same error. Tried updating firmware too, still the same error.

Could you please execute following command in a terminal ？

sudo i2cdetect -y 1 

and send it back to me ?
