Hey Louis, The screenshot is very helpful thanks! It looks like your getting something but its not quite what one would expect, your looking to get something like the blue line in the screenshot on the VIsampler page when you have a PC connected and something more sinusoidal if you have say a few incandescent light bulbs connected.
I suspect it might be a problem with the output of the CT being too small, could you try with something bigger like an electric heater?
The only other thing I can think of is is your CT measuring the current flowing through the live wire only?
good work getting this far!
