+5v : 5v Supply gnd : Supply Ground out : Output Voltage proportional to current, 11mV/A for 5V supply o/c : Over-Current Detection Digital Output, Low on Over-Current, High otherwise
Current=(Vout-2.5)/0.011
Note: Over Current can be detected by adjusting the preset for desired value of current [the blue potentiometer!]. Turn preset clockwise to increase current range and anti-clockwise to decrease current range.
On over current, o/c pin goes low and red LED glows.
OUT goes to the analog pin (ADC). In the Arduino Topic they are discussing the math as well:
float scalefactor = 0.011; float current = ((5.0/1024.)*AnalogRead(A0)-2.5)/scalefactor;
(scalefactor derived from spec sheet: 11mV/A with a 5V power supply)
O/C goes to a digital pin to detect over-current (normal = HIGH. over-current = LOW). I'm pretty sure that it is not required to use this pin, unless you'd like to detect over-current of course.

7-Zip One of the best, free, and most efficient Windows archive and unarchive utilties around. Support quite a few formats as well.
HandBrake Great tool for ripping DVD's and converting video.
Frizting Free tool to design schematics and PCB's - they even offer a very affordable PCB production service.
Start-is-Back Ultimate Start-button replacement for Windows 8 and 8.1 - Super cheap, but highly recommended.
PreLoaders Handy little online tool to generate preload images (spinners).
WinRAR My favorite file compression/decompression tool. Fast, efficient, and support quite a lot of formats. Unfortunately ... NOT free.
