In past articles we have covered monitoring DC current for solar and wind based applications. Monitoring AC (grid or grid tie solar) is a bit trickier as voltage flows bidirectionally, and it’s harder to insert a shunt inline. We use

We are building a Arduino based smart meter, and are looking for participants to help fill the database with power usage data. All we ask is that you cover the basic costs of the meter system, and we will give

I’ve been a fan of Packt Publishing technical books for a long time. I’ve purchased quite a few volumes for my Arduino and Raspberry Pi library, and even had the honor of being a technical editor. Now you can get

The traditional Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is used in process controls and Programmed in Ladder Logic. A more recent evolutionary step is the Programmable Automation Controller (PAC), which is typically programmed in C/C++, and has analog, digital, and communications functions
