Maybe I didn't explain it correctly: I'm connecting a current transformer and a current voltage transformer (220/9) to the circuit in the scheme. So the voltage regulator is receiving 9v (about 12.7 V , but with about 0.6v less because of the diode rectifier) > My suggestion to you would be to consider a low-cost commercial power > meter like Kill-A-Watt ($20 or so) then point a BBB with a webcam at its > display, and do > a little image processing to read out the power. > I don't like this solution, too many things to add... > People also cracked them open and interfaced directly to their internal > circuitry. > mmm, do you know if there are any publications of the results of these cracks?
