An "other" way would be to add, say, a 3.6kW constant load ;-) The pulses from the 1000 pulse/kWh energy meter would then never be more th= an=20 1s apart. Micro measures time between pulses, calculates power, subtracts t= he=20 3.6kW offset, and now even light loads will have a much more acceptable upd= ate=20 rate. Problem solved ;-) All you need to do then is convince the electricity supplier they need to a= lso need to=20 subtract the 3.6kW (3.6kW x 24h =3D 86.4kWh per day) from their meter readi= ngs, for=20 "technical" reasons, before charging you... --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
