RPI_DCV8 is a 8 channels acquisition board for Raspberrypi. Any of AC current & voltage or DC current & voltage can be setup at assembly/purchase time.

8 Channels.
Instrumentation amplifiers.
Measure RMS or Average signal.
Fit on Raspberrypi 4 holes mounting pattern.
Atmega328p Mcu (Arduino UNO)
MCP3208 ADC (12bits)
Screw Terminal connectors.

Hardware Channel Setup

The idea of the RPI_DCV8 brings a customisable base to setup each channel as per your requirement. We will setup the channel type and range at purchase time. Currently supported type of channels are:

AC Current (using both Voltage and Current CT).
AC Voltage.
DC Current.
Dc Voltage.
Thermocouple.

DC Current

DC current can be read using a Clamp meter suitable for DC.

BT-605A

With the BT-605A currents up to 600A can be measured.
The amplification stage can be adapted on the RPI_DCV8 to adjust for desired range.

AC Current

For measuring AC current current a Current Transformer (CT) must be used.

RPI_DCV8 can host the burden resistor for current output CT.

Thermocouple

K Type

K type thermocouple can be used and offer measuring range up to 1350 Celsius.
