Power Association
The RPICT4V3 computes RealPower using the combination of Voltage and Current sensor.
The 4 RealPower are computed using the following combinations:
RealPower1 -> CT1 and V1
RealPower2 -> CT2 and V2
RealPower3 -> CT3 and V3
RealPower4 -> CT4 and V3

View the data with Python
Please note the uploaded sketch must have CSV enabled. The example script below will be a good starting point.
First of all make sure you have python-serial package installed
$ sudo apt-get install python-serial
Then copy the following into an executable file and run it.
#!/usr/bin/python
import serial
ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyAMA0', 38400)
try:
while 1:
response = ser.readline()
z = response.split(",")
if len(z)>=6:
print "Vrm1: %s Volts" % z[0]
print "Vrm1: %s Volts" % z[1]
print "Vrm1: %s Volts" % z[2]
print "RealP 1: %s Watts" % z[3]
print "RealP 2: %s Watts" % z[4]
print "RealP 2: %s Watts" % z[5]
print "RealP 2: %s Watts" % z[6][:-2]
except KeyboardInterrupt:
ser.close()

An avr programmer with 6pin ribbon cable is needed for programming. See our programmer called Nanoprog.
There is no jumper to remove to program this board.
