power supply - What is the correct shunt size for the following ammeter and configuration?


I have the following ammeter:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Red-led-Display-Color-0-56-Digital-Ammeter-DC-0-100A-4-wires-3-digit-car/1301822575.html


The seller recommends 75mV 100A shunt be placed with it. I want to know what will happen if I change the voltage going through the shunt. Should I be changing the shunt as well to read amps correctly?


I want to build a 1-40V (or maybe 50V) adjustable DC power supply and use this ammeter to measure current. What the right value of shunt that I should use to get the right measurement? Changing shunts in a lab bench power supply is impractical, of course.


EDIT: I am planning to measure only up to 5A or so. Sorry I forgot to mention this previously.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
