RPICT7V1 (This covers for hardware versions 4)

This page is for board specific information. More information can be found on the generic page for RPICT series.

The RPICT7V1 is the same unit as earlier version RPICT7V1_v2.0 but with top end instrumentation amplifiers. This is the Ferrari of the RPICT series.

7 AC current sensors.
1 AC Voltage sensor.
Measure RMS Current and Voltage, Active power, Apparent Power, Power Factor.
Fit on Raspberrypi 4 holes mounting pattern.
AtMega328 Mcu (Arduino UNO)
MCP3208 ADC
High precision Instrumentation Amplifier AD623.
Supports both Current and Voltage output CT.

Stacking Configuration

Version 4 can not be stacked at this stage. Contact us for enquiries on stacking development.

Software Configuration

Using a serial line terminal program one can configure the following:

- Polling interval
- Output format (csv or emonhub)
- Calibration values (Voltage and Current)
- Voltage/current combinations for real power computation.
- Output channels

The documentation for serial configuration can be found on this page.

Over Serial Configuration - Sketch 3.0

The board can be configured with the online configurator.

Default Sketch

Default Sketch V3.0.1.

noOSC Sketch

The Default sketch allows up to 28 computation nodes to be run. If more are needed for higher stacks then we recommend to use the noOSC sketch. This is the same as the default sketch but Over Serial Configuration (OSC) as been removed to allow up to 40 nodes to be computed. Configuration has to be edited in the sketch.

noOSC Sketch v1.0
noOSC Sketch v1.1

Emoncms Config (Emonhub)

Make sure you read this first.

For default configuration. Used as single board only (not stacked).
