INA219 with Teensy 4.1

Wiring for the INA219 current + voltage monitor on the Teensy 4.1 (MIMXRT1062DVJ6B, 3.3 V logic), chosen with the same pin rules BoardPilot uses: default buses first, and no pins that are used for flash, USB, the debugger or booting.

Check before you power it on

Test code (Arduino)

#include <Wire.h>

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Wire.begin();  // SDA = 18, SCL = 19 (the board's default I2C pins)
  Wire.beginTransmission(0x40);
  bool found = Wire.endTransmission() == 0;
  Serial.println(found ? "INA219 current + voltage monitor found at 0x40" : "Not found: check power, GND and SDA/SCL");
}

void loop() {}

Questions

Which Teensy 4.1 pins do I use for the INA219?

VCC → 3V, GND → G, SCL → 19 (GPIO_AD_B1_00), SDA → 18 (GPIO_AD_B1_01).

Does the INA219 work with the Teensy 4.1 at 3.3 V?

Yes: the INA219 runs at 3.3-5 V and the Teensy 4.1 uses 3.3 V signals, so no level shifting is needed.

What is the I2C address of the INA219?

0x40 or 0x41 or 0x44 or 0x45. An I2C scan (BoardPilot does it for you) shows which one your module uses.

BoardPilot checks this wiring in 3D as you build it, and finds crossed or missing wires on the real board.
