The microcontroller whose job it is to do this will be powered by a UPS. Presumably I need some kind of relay but it is unclear to me what kind of relay and how to sample the ac power. If I use a power cube to put a low voltage onto a relay then what I am detecting is whether or not the power cube is working. Is there a way a more direct way to sample the AC power? ---------- End of Message ---------- You can view the post on-line at: http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=7&p=1&m=268433 Need assistance?
