    Abstract: Various implementations of a method include receiving a measurement of an electrical current provided to a component undergoing electroplating, analyzing the current measurement, and adjusting the current based at least on the analyzing. The receiving, analyzing, and adjusting may be performed on a substantially continuous ongoing basis throughout the electroplating, and/or without interrupting the electroplating. In various implementations, the method includes measuring a current through a neck portion of a hangar to which the component is affixed. The adjusting may regulate the current based on a variety of conditions and target factors. Various implementations of a system include a connector and a current sensor. The connector electrically and mechanically couples a plating target to a current bus during an electroplating operation. The sensor monitors a current supplied to the plating target throughout a substantial portion of the electroplating operation.
