Ok, 80 us cost me a really long time. So, now I can read the voltage and the current independently. Now I will be trying to isolate the source from the rest of the circuit and then I will try to arran ...

Your putting the cart before the horse.
Rushing to get something to show gets you nowhere.
You're not answering the questions that others and I are asking.

Hello Mike, what I am understanding from your post is that I should pull down the analog pins with, say, 10k resistors, right?

About using a step down transformer, I thought about it but the turbin ...

Asmboy:
I am afraid what you see in the schematics is basically what I am doing. So, my only isolation is the extreme caution I am paying. In that sense I understand the suggestion of isolated power ...

Hello asmboy,
The ISIS drawings are added. Sorry for the really quick drawing.

Hello Mike,
Thank you for your reply. Well I know that I will be reading 0 half the time and that is fine with me. I want to build a working prototype as soon as I can and I will get the optimization ...

I am trying to build a power meter with current and voltage measurements. The final circuit is going to be used to measure the power produced by a wind turbine. I am trying to build the power meter to ...

The RTC's backup power is a CR2032. When I attach my USB and read the date/time from the terminal, the data is ok. The RTC is powered by the main supply now, I will change it to get the power from the ...

I tried the configuration disconnecting the RTC and EEPROM but the power consumption was almost the same, so the RTC and EEPROM are connected to the regulator directly. I am using a 7805 as a regulato ...

I've managed to write data to the EEPROM after sleeping through WDT128. Data seems ok and there is no problem. When I try WDT32768, the PIC wakes up like every minute, writes some data and goes back t ...

If i understand your question right you can just allocate the first byte of the EEPROM for memory mapping. Whenever you write to EEPROM, you can just update the memory map. So whenever you read the fi ...

Well I mostly tried the sleep and wake up part.

My final code is like the following:


#include <18F2550.h>
#DEVICE ADC=8
#fuses HSPLL,NOWDT,WDT4096,MCLR,NOPROTECT,NOLVP,NODEBUG,NOBROWN ...

I am really sorry about the late reply, I forgot my codes at my workplace so I couldn't try anything Embarassed

After your heads up, I measured the current consumption and it is like 50 mA. So i sup ...

Ttelmah, I wasn't using a USB connection sense pin. I will try to arrange it in the hardware and see if it works. So I suppose I have to program an external interrupt on pinB0. I have to figure out ho ...

RF_Developer and Ttelmah thank you for your replies.

I am using an 18F2550.

My intention is to realize a datalogger. It is going to run on batteries so I need it to be power efficient. I want to ...
