RPICT7V1 version 2.0

Link to shop

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

This is the new version of the RPICT7V1. It now features the same microcontroller as an Arduino UNO. The best of all is the possibility to stack up to 5 boards together to increase the sensor capacity onto one single raspberrypi.

  • 7 AC current sensors.
  • 1 AC Voltage sensor.
  • Compute real power.
  • Fit on Raspberrypi 4 holes mounting pattern.
  • AtMega328 Mcu (Arduino UNO)
  • MCP3208 ADC
  • Stackable (up to 5 boards together)


Recommended sensors

  • AC Current sensor: SCT-013-000
  • AC Voltage sensor:
    • UK: 77DB-06-09
    • EU: 77DE-06-09
    • US: STA-4190D

Stacking Configuration

General stacking information is described in the RPICT stacking page. RPICT_Stacking

Software Configuration

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

- Polling interval
- Output format (csv or emoncms)
- 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.

Sketch Upload

Using Nanoprog

One can program the board using the Nanoprog programmer with a 6pin SPI connector.
In Arduino IDE select board as Arduino Uno. Upload sketch using File | Upload Using Programmer.

Using an ArduinoUNO

An Arduino UNO board can be used to program the chip. The micontroller should be removed from the RPICT7V1 board and fitted on the Uno to allow programming.
