I have a simular need, however mine is DC. Want to be able to measure up to
100A DC at 12V via a PIC. I plan on using a 16F872 which has A2D, and can
use like an op-amp to get it in range of the PIC's a2d if necessary. Anyone
have suggestions on best way to do this? Accuracy of about .5A would be
nice..

Thanks in advance,
Tim

That was a little ambiguous and/or generalised. It rather depends
on the flux range of the sensor as to what is necessary to get the
field strength optimised
