    As the title suggests, I'm working on a wireless power monitor with LTC2946. This chip can measure all sorts of things:
    current,
    voltage,
    power,
    charge
    and energy.
    It also has an additional 12-bit ADC onboard. I think it is a wonderful piece of equipment and would like to exploit it to its full potential, so I'm making a board with it and an ATmega328p, to be used with NRF24l01+ radio.

    The company that makes the LTC2946, made a wonderful library for it. The problem, however, is that the setup program is quite large. And I was wondering if there is someone who can take a look at it and make it smaller and include just the parts that are necessary during operation. Here is the link to the library:
    https://github.com/ceech/LTC2946/tree/master
    Thanks for the help.

      @ceech Looks like a great project. There's another library here: https://github.com/phishman/LTC2946 which looks to be quite a bit smaller. Not sure if all the functions you'll need are available in it.

      Cheers
