hi list! i want to build my watt meter my own. my question: how could i solve the 230 v mains for voltage measurement and current for the shunt by indirect current measurement? if i supply the circuit with 5v by transformer i have a galvanic border for the supply but how to seperate the a/d converter from the mains? could i use x2 caps to seperate the pic from mains which uses an Xc with an depending value of the capacity? thanks a lot regards tobi university of applied science trier /germany -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
