Need help with current sense/over-current detection

Thanks for replying!

Ok, in that schematic I'm seeing A1 on the Nano going to R2 (560 ohms), and thence to "shunt".

With the IBT_2,  I have it connected to R_IS+L_IS through a voltage divider.  The values in that divider are approximately 47kohms (R1) and 15kohms (R2) (they were just lying around, perhaps better to be 50k and 10kohm, per beholder77's post?) That is wired thus:

(IBT_2)R_IS + L_IS --> 50kohm --> (Uno)A1 --> 10kohm --> GRND

Does that voltage divider serve the same function as the R2 resistor, as it is above without adding a shunt?  I'm hoping the answer is yes!

Thanks for your help!
