Preliminary Designs
Monday, April 27, 2009 at 2:18PM Instead of studying for my finals this morning I've been hard at work (possibly pointlessly) on my power sensing wall socket. I've created an initial sketch and short of a choice of opto-isolators (any thoughts anyone?) I've got my parts list together. The sketch can be found after the break:
Update 1: I've chose an opto-isolator the Toshiba TLP627-4(F) Quad chip. Dip, speedy, cheap, that's all I asked for.
Update 2: I believe isolation on the lines coming into the Arduino need to be fused not isolated due to the inherent direction they're operating.
