Firmware

 

A low power, wireless energy monitoring node, the EmonTx is designed to sense data from multiple CT sensors, optical pulses from a utility meter and from multiple one-wire temperature sensors. It can be powered by 2 AA batteries or 5V at the USB connector.  Features and hardware details.

The emonTx is based on the Atmega328 8-bit microcontroller and is fully compatible with the Arduino IDE. A 5V FTDI to USB cable is required for programming.

The design is based on the JeeNode. It's fully open-source and is designed for easy expandability and compatibility with JeeLabs plug-shields.

Thank you to Robert Wall for the port map diagram.
