i have INA219 module for my Project But i have some problem with it
i have tested the getcurrent example supplied with the library
i have connected a led from the arduino 3.3v terminal for testing the but the reading is not steady
i get readings between 6.70 ma - 7.20
is it ok ? to get this vary
any ideas please

Code:
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_INA219.h>
Adafruit_INA219 ina219;
void setup(void)
{
Serial.begin(115200);
while (!Serial) {
// will pause Zero, Leonardo, etc until serial console opens
delay(1);
}
uint32_t currentFrequency;
Serial.println("Hello!");
// Initialize the INA219.
// By default the initialization will use the largest range (32V, 2A). However
// you can call a setCalibration function to change this range (see comments).
if (! ina219.begin()) {
Serial.println("Failed to find INA219 chip");
while (1) { delay(10); }
}
// To use a slightly lower 32V, 1A range (higher precision on amps):
//ina219.setCalibration_32V_1A();
// Or to use a lower 16V, 400mA range (higher precision on volts and amps):
//ina219.setCalibration_16V_400mA();
Serial.println("Measuring voltage and current with INA219 ...");
}
void loop(void)
