Hello David,
To measure AC Current in a non invasive way and secure, I suggest the use of
CSLA2CD made by Micro Switch for 50 or 60 Hz.
This circuit uses a Hall Effect chips inside a magnetic tore and provide an
Output Voltage proportional to the current going thought the wire. There is no
relation with the 110 or 230 V AC.
There is also other circuit available (See Internet) but you have "to open" the
wire for the measurement.
After you use the A/D converter of the BX24 looking for the max value, the
max value them give you the RMS.
This assumes that you have a resistive circuit drawing the current to
measure.
I have started a project to regulate the current of my electric radiators at
home (3 Phases 230V) with an X10 Circuit.
The current measurement program work and I have to address the X10 side.
The first tests I made on the BX24 X10 commands coupled with a XM10E-120 are not
conclusive, I will try again.
If this does not work, I will use a MicroMint Serial Plix chips with the
XM10E-120.
Any info from The Group on the BX24 X10 (Simple ON and Off, All On All Off
command and connecion to the XM10E) or Plix
are welcome.
Best regards and good luck in your project.

Hello fellows
Any ideas on how to measure the AC current of an equipment connected to
the wall plug (mains) power using a BX24?
