kandi X-RAY | ACS712 Summary
The ACS712 is a chip to measure current, both AC or DC. The chip has an analogue output that provides a voltage that is linear with the current. The ACS712 library supports only a built in ADC by means of analogRead(). There are 2 core functions:. To measure DC current a single analogRead() with conversion maths is sufficient to get a value. To stabilize the signal analogRead() is called twice.

QUESTION
first I want to say that I'm a beginner in Arduino programming, so please explain the code if possible. I want to design a system which can monitor the 3 phase supply currents and voltages and take action e.g. activate a relay to isolate the system from load if there is a phase loss.
I'm using ACS712 current sensors and AC voltage measurement circuit to measure the voltages.
I wrote a code to monitor the phases and trigger the relay to isolate the load if the voltage drop below 100V for instance. but one issue I'm facing is the relay is getting activated randomly on and off, even though the phase voltage is 220V well above the threshold value which is 100V.
My real question is how do I write a code which can take samples and divide it with a number of samples and calculate the RMS value?
I found this code below online but failed to understand it.so if you explain it will be very appreciated.

Answered 2017-Jan-17 at 16:36To answer your first question about the unsigned long
, with numerical data types the most-significant bit is usually used to determine if a number is positive or negative. However, this is at the cost of halving the positive capacity of the data type. If a negative value is not an expected outcome, then you can declare a data type as unsigned
to use the most significant bit for a greater positive capacity.
So for example:
- An
unsigned long
using 4 bytes has a value range from0
to4,294,967,295
- A (signed)
long
using 4 bytes has a value range from-2,147,483,648
to2,147,483,647
The use of UL
at the end of a number explicitly tells the compiler that this value is an unsigned long
. Note that the size of a long
(or any other numerical types) may not be consistent across compilers.

As for your other question, the Arduino docs describe the micros()
function:
Returns the number of microseconds since the Arduino board began running the current program. This number will overflow (go back to zero), after approximately 70 minutes. On 16 MHz Arduino boards (e.g. Duemilanove and Nano), this function has a resolution of four microseconds (i.e. the value returned is always a multiple of four). On 8 MHz Arduino boards (e.g. the LilyPad), this function has a resolution of eight microseconds.
Note: there are 1,000 microseconds in a millisecond and 1,000,000 microseconds in a second.
QUESTION
I am trying to do ADC using ATMEGA8 and receiving the ADC value from the potentiometer. As it is 10 Bit ADC the highest value i can receive is 1024. Now i want to convert this value to actual voltage and view it on terminal using serial. My reference voltage is 5V.
this is what i am doing

Answered 2018-May-02 at 08:19Both REF_ADC_Volt and ADC_Div_Factor are two integer literals.
Hence, the first division produces an integer result (most likely 4).
Then, you multiply the result of this division (4) by ADC_Val.
This means 4 * 1023 = 4.092.
You should promote your literals to floating point:
