Line (Voltage) Monitoring Software

This directory contains a collection of software for interfacing with a Arduino connected to a custom PCB for monitoring AC line voltage.

This software depends on the following python modules:

  • pySerial
  • backports.zoneinfo (Python < 3.9 only)
  • wxPython

Contents

lvmb.py - Python module for interfacing with the Arduino and reading the voltage.

lineMonitor.py - Python script for logging line voltages.

Questions

How big is the VoltageMeter PCB?

It measures 95.3 × 78.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the VoltageMeter use?

21 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the VoltageMeter KiCad files?

From the lwa-project/voltage_monitor repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is VoltageMeter/VoltageMeter.kicad_pcb and its schematic VoltageMeter/VoltageMeter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the VoltageMeter design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
