Measure up to 500A DC Current with Shunt and Arduino- TM1637 Display

How measure Any DC Current up to 500A Shunt using Arduino ARDCC-03 and TM1637

Using this code and video is about measuring DC current up to 500A using the 75mV and any Shunt Resistor. The current is displayed on TM1637 4 Digits LED Display.
This video requires two videos and ocde
