Hi Trystan,
I didn't get any email notification from this thread, so I more or less forgot about it and just now thought I'll have a quick look.
I couldn't get any of the IC's over here so I've decided to use another method.
Still, I think there will come a time when you put everything together and you might overload your USB.
BTW, is your plan to put all the code for the various sensors into one Sketch eventually? I just presumed that you were!
I'll probably use small transformers to isolate and then resistors to work out the Volts and get the frequency from the same pin.
For the current I probably use something similar or a CT.
I couldn't get the Java to work in XP, when I unzipped the files, they were all in the same directory & because 2 of them had the same name, the 1 overwrites the other.
I really tried for a solution, but gave up eventually. I'm learning programming as I'm going on with my project, so its quite possible I did something stupid!
That said, between gobetwino and Kst I came right and I'm getting some nice graphs by using MS Office Excel to link to the data file as well!
My biggest "thing" at the moment is to get more analog inputs with a 16ch multiplexer and then all the different sensors for temp, rpm, pressure exec, in a row and working.
Hopefully I'll get a notification if you reply this time ;-)
I'll look in from time to time to see if there's something to "steal" with my eyes! ;)
Feel free to do the same if you see something in my project you like!
