Combine a SAMD21 and a INA260 to create a USBTMC instrument.

Adafruit SAMD21 QT PY             |  Adafruit INA260            | STEMMA QT / QWIIC

SDA, SCL, 3.3V and GND signals shared using the STEMMA QT cable (just add pins to INA260 board).

Program the SAMD21 QT_PY board by double-clicking the push-button and drag-n-drop the provided [UF2 file](https://github.com/charkster/samd21-usbtmc-ina260/blob/main/qt_py-samd21-usbtmc-ina260.uf2)

Here are the supported SCPI commands:

***IDN?** (query the instrument name, returns 'INA260\nINA260:VOLTAGE? INA260:CURRENT? INA260:POWER?')

***RST** (Sends the Reset command to INA260 over I2C)

**INA260:VOLTAGE?** (query the Bus voltage on INA260)

**INA260:CURRENT?** (query the current flow on INA260, negative means reverse direction)

**INA260:POWER?** (query the power on INA260)

My C string parsing is very crude so the **SCPI** command **must match** what I have listed above (or be in lowercase).
