Hi Trystan, still no notification, but this time I came to check on your site! ;) Also, its not my spam filter, I had a look.
Anyway, I'm going to put all my code together and that is why I asked, because one will have to keep track of everything to make sure the various "routines" don't clash with one another once in the same sketch on the Arduino.
About the VA sensor, I'm not to much worried about real RMS at this stage, as my knowledgeable friend BruceM in my project thread explained, one actually need a dedicated processor for that because of the intense and real-time calculations.
In your project I can see it being a necessity as your main objective is monitoring power produced or used. This might come into play later on for me, but for now I'll leave it for last.
What IS important for me are Vac and frequency in my instance as the speed of the engine are directly related to that, my PC is going to hate 260Vac at 68Hz or something like that, if the engine over-speeds ;) I think you get the picture.
Re the Java, I remember NOW having a similar problem a long time ago when I wanted to compile a program in XP intended for Linux. When you zip your code for Windows users, be sure to keep the folder structure in the zip file! When they unzip & compile it then, it worked for me that time.
I'm not 100% sure of this, but maybe it puts you on the right path/solution.
Re GoBetWino, I thought I read about it somewhere else on this site and you knew about it? Anyway, it works great once you have the hang of it. Kst seems to crash on occasions, that's why I tried Excel2007 and was quite surprised!
It fills my needs for now while I'm developing, but a dedicated UI will probably be needed in the end.
Obviously this method will also work for your Windows "customers"
Enjoy,
Wilhelm
