Current is not displayed

hi community, I have connected Arduino UNO (serial USB with cayenne) with PZEM-004, all values are shown except current ones, can you help me?you will find attached the software that I used. Thank you.

#include <CayenneMQTTSerial.h>

#define CAYENNE_DEBUG

int voltage_cayenne=0;
int current_cayenne;
int power_cayenne=0;
int energy_cayenne=0;
int courant;


char username[] = "";
char password[] = "";
char clientID[] = "";
unsigned long lastMillis = 0;
void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Cayenne.begin(username, password, clientID);
  pzem.setAddress(ip);
}

void loop() {
  Cayenne.loop();
  // Read meter PZEM 
    float v = pzem.voltage(ip);          
   if(v >= 0.0){     voltage_cayenne =v; }          //V
  
    float i = pzem.current(ip);
    if(i >= 0.0){    current_cayenne=i;   }  //A   convert  A --->  mA                                                                                                                   
    
    float p = pzem.power(ip);
    if(p >= 0.0){    power_cayenne=p;       }      //W 
    
    float e = pzem.energy(ip);          
    if(e >= 0.0){    energy_cayenne =e;  }       ///Wh
        
delay(1000);.
  if (millis() - lastMillis > 10000) {
    lastMillis = millis();
  
    Cayenne.virtualWrite(1,voltage_cayenne);
    Cayenne.virtualWrite(2,current_cayenne*1000);
    Cayenne.virtualWrite(3,power_cayenne);
    Cayenne.virtualWrite(4, energy_cayenne);
    Cayenne.virtualWrite(5, lastMillis);
  }

hi @sara.loukili.lasri do you have a rthernet sield or esp8266. As it is difficult to debug when the USB serial library is used.

Hello, yes I have esp8266 but I must add a resistance of 1kohm in power meter. I tried with Arduino UNO using the serial USB, even when I run in the serial monitor without using cayenne all the values are displayed. but when I try cayenne except the current that is not displayed. I don’t know where is the problem.

Thank you.

connect esp8266 as shield and use this code. follow the steps below. Once you connect add your sensor code to this.

/*
This sketch connects to the Cayenne server using an ESP8266 WiFi module as a shield connected via a hardware serial to an Arduino.

The CayenneMQTT Library is required to run this sketch. If you have not already done so you can install it from the Arduino IDE Library Manager.

Steps:
1. Install the ESP8266SerialLibrary.zip library via the Arduino IDE (Sketch->Include Library->Add .ZIP Library) from the Cayenne extras/libraries
   folder (e.g. My Documents\Arduino\libraries\CayenneMQTT\extras\libraries) to compile this example.
2. Connect the ESP8266 as a shield to your Arduino. This example uses the Serial hardware serial pins available on the UNO. 
3. Set the Cayenne authentication info to match the authentication info from the Dashboard.
4. Set the network name and password.
5. Compile and upload the sketch.
6. A temporary widget will be automatically generated in the Cayenne Dashboard. To make the widget permanent click the plus sign on the widget.

NOTE: This code requires ESP8266 firmware version 1.0.0 (AT v0.22) or later.

Soukd I use ESP82 + Arduino with the power meter or just Esp82? If It just Esp82 can it work without welding the 1k resistance to the SDIC(the card which is inside the power meter?

yes. the PZEM-004 uses serial communication and you have two assign two pins for it from the arduino.
