RPICTlib

Version History

• V1.1.0
  • Frequency Support.
  • ADC Reference can now be set. (Needed for RPICT7V1 Version 4).
  • Various code optimisation.
  • CurrentNode now called SignalNode (We figured out this can equally measure Voltage as well).
• V1.0.1
  • Modified timing control. Now uses better sync checks.
  • Added support for computing Irms alone with PowerNode class. Was missing on previous version.
  • mcp3208 now reading a bit faster. Using full bit banging now.

• V1.0.0
  • Initial version

Usage Examples

Definition and initialisation

The library must called in the arduino sketch with the following include.

#include "RPICTlib.h"

Three compiler variable must also be defined.

uint8_t ADC_BITS = 10; 
uint16_t ADC_COUNTS (1 << ADC_BITS);
uint16_t ADC_REF = 3300;   

ADC_BITS is 10 for the RPICT board with attiny84 and 12 for the RPICT with mcp3208.

ADC_REF is either 3300 or 4096 depending on the board type.

There are fours classes to contruct computation nodes. These are

• SignalNode
• PowerNode
• SignalNode_mcp3208
• PowerNode_mcp3208
