Digital powermeter
3/03/2009Alexandre Girard, the technical mind behind Feevy, is a what I would call a *real* hacker. He is now into building a Power Meter for household usage. That is a device that measures the amount of electricity that you spend at home, so you can have a greener usage.
He is going to make it with two arduino boards and I presume it all will be opensource. That’s why he’s asking for donations (besides explaining the project) to raise the €145 he needs to do so. Not a big deal.
I wonder how many different things you can do if you use the capabilities of an arduino board to do such measurements: all that information in digital format asking to be designed and displayed in many ways.
Good luck, Alex!
