    Transformer-less solution for a AC voltage meter

    Thank you for your reply! I reviewed some application circuits for the IL300 and found the one you're talking about. However I fail to understand how a 230 VAC signal can be reduced enough not to damage the input op amp.

    Transformer-less solution for a AC voltage meter

    You mean like this circuit? I believe the left side would be the non-isolated part (AKA the VAC input) and the left would be my analog output. Both sides have op amps which would be the reason for your suggestion to use a capacitor power source on the right side. (Please feel free to...

    Transformer-less solution for a AC voltage meter

    Hi, I need to measure and log the power consumption of a AC device. So far I used an Arduino and an ACS712 current sensor and I assumed the voltage was always 230VAC as it's nominally stated. However I noticed some variations on the voltage values which lead me to believe I need a more...

    Alterantives to optocouplers for controlling an AC motor

    I'm using optocouplers to isolate a microcontroller from the power part of my circuit. Thing is I've burned all my MOC2011 (don't ask me how). Clearly I wasn't careful enough with the schematics. I don't have any left and I don't think I can get some for a few weeks. The motor in question is a...

    Can someone help me identify this component?

    Hi there, I was tearing apart some old cordless phone transmitter and I came across this curious component I've never seen before. It has 5 pins (red) plus 2 through-hole holders (green). It seems is screw-regulated as it has a hole on top like some potentiometers I saw. I'd really like to...

    [moved] How to control an CD drive with a dc motor instead of a stepper motor?

    Damn, guess I'd have some sort of linear encoder (have lots-of from salvaged printers) or find a CD drive with a stepper. (Hope to post in the future less trivial threads) Thanks!

    [moved] How to control an CD drive with a dc motor instead of a stepper motor?

    First of all hello there, this is my first thread. So I started working on a mini cnc machine made from old CD drives. I plan to use the mechanisms to build a plotter like structure. When I tore them down I was expecting a stepper motor at the beginning of the lead screw, but what I got was a...
