Hello,
I am trying to get my one of my old emontx v3 (v3.2, Oct 2013, as written on the pcb) going to do some appliance monitoring. I’m having issues reading the Vrms from my AC-AC adapter. Things I have ruled out;
-
The AC-AC adapter is fine. It reads 11.1V. Also, I have another adapter which is functioning perfectly when connected to my other emonTX v3.
-
Sketch is fine. I am using the same sketch on my other emontx v3, and it is reporting sensible values to emoncms (but note I have changed the node number)
Serial monitor output pasted below. Initially there is a large reading (430V), followed by lots of low readings which vary between 5 and 30V.
Has anyone come across this issue before? So far I am thinking there is an issue with the emontx, what would you suggest I do to fault-find?
Thanks!
Chris
