Requirements
Meter circuit should draw very little
power
 Meter circuit design should be safe
 Achieve accuracy goals

Power measuring methods
• Voltage measurement using a voltage
divider
• Current measurement using a .2 ohm
current sensing resistor
• Use an Avago technologies HCPL-7520
optoisolator to isolate and amplify the
signal
• Use a relay to turn the appliance on
and off

Voltage measurement
Voltage will be measured directly
from the house main wiring
 A voltage divider will bring down the
voltage to a level usable by the
microprocessor

Current measurement
Current sensing resistor will be
installed in the neutral side of the
outlet wiring
 A hall effect sensor was considered
but it is too expensive
 A current transformer was
considered but it is a less accurate
method and more expensive

Component specifications
5% tolerance, 1 watt power rated
1Mohm resistor
 .2 ohm, 3W rated current measuring
resistor
 12A, 240V relay
 Avago Technologies HCPL-7520
linear optoisolator

Limitations
Meter cannot measure appliances
that run on 240V
 Current to be measured can’t be
more than 15A


Include an LED on/off switch
to conserve battery power
Place device high on wall so
all users can view
information
Put device in a central
viewing location
Practice our soldering skills
Update data values every 60
seconds instead of
continuously.
No solution, opt for
microcontroller with more
pins
Push Buttons/ Switches




We require three tactile
(push-to-make) pushbuttons
on the front of device.
Two of these buttons will be
used for movement within the
LCD menu.
One pushbutton will
disconnect supplied power to
selected appliance.
We also require a Single
pole, single throw switch on
the side of the device to
control the LED backlight

User - LCD Interfacing
•
•
•
•
•
•
LCD will be connected to pushbuttons via internal
microcontroller.
With microcontroller’s coding, a cursor will move
through the list of devices when up/down buttons are
pressed.
When the user continues pushing the up/down buttons
to view more than the three listed devices, new devices
will appear in their place
When the user hits then end of the list of transmitting
devices, the cursor will stop moving.
A user can terminate the supplied power to the cursor
selected device by pushing the power button.
Pressing a combination of buttons will allow the user to
enter a menu in order to set up the date and cost of
electric bills.
Instruction List
Instructions




To operate, the device has 2
separate internal microcontrollers
to display to the LCD.
A specific instruction must be
selected by the main
microcontroller and sent to the
eight data pins.
When the instruction is sent, the
device must be enabled on the
selected microcontroller (E1 or E2)
to have the device complete the
instruction.
If characters are to be displayed,
the RS pin must be set on and the
device will output the selected
character to the specified location
designated by the set address
command

Coding
•
•
•
•
The microcontroller uses C
programming language, and
the Newhaven Display
provides libraries for use
with their product.
The code will start off with an
initialization section for initial
power up of device.
Then the device will display
the data every minute from
the MC in a line by line
fashion to ensure all sensors
are updated.
Separate functions will be
called for cursor movement,
menu setup, and sensor
power down.
Coding example (Turning device on)
Int main(void)
{
P1 = 0x0c;
W = 0;
RS = 0;
E1 = 1;
//Top half of the display
delay(2);
E1 = 0;
E2 = 1;
//2nd half of the display
delay(2);
E2 = 0;
}

Proposed Main Unit
Schematic
• Receives power through
batteries and bucked
down to usable voltages.
• Pull down resistors to
prevent button inputs
from floating high.
• Schematic based on
Arduino Pro Mini.
Proposed Sensor

to flip the relay as
it uses more
current than the
processor can
output.

Wireless Communication
Wireless Telecommunications
There were four types of wireless technology that
were taken into consideration.
•Zigbee: Cheap, Good distance, Hard to learn
•Bluetooth: High data rate, Great delivery percentage, Hard
to learn
•WiFi: Great delivery percentage, Expensive
•XBee: Easy to learn, Cheap, Good distance
XBEE
Of the many possible options, we chose
XBee technology as our means of
wireless telecommunications.

XBee OEM RF
802.15.4
The range was
good enough for
the group having
a max range of
100ft (30m)
24.38mm x
27.61mm
XBee Specs
•The XBee costs $19.00 per unit.
•250kbps might seem small for a commercial product but for a simple
project, like the power sensors and the central unit, it will be sufficient to
work properly.
•It is an RF transceiver. It runs at 2.4 GHz, which is what all the devices run at
that the group has examined.
•Voltage range from 2.8 to 3.4V.
•The current:
•when it is receiving data is 50mA,
•while it is transmitting information, the current is flowing at 45mA
•and while it is in power-down mode it runs below 10µA.
•Its sensitivity is at -92dBm.
•The chips operating temperature has a range between -40* and +85*C

Using the AT command mode is the how
the XBee chip will be programmed.
AT commands deal with all things from
setting the sleep mode to resetting the chip.
The command below is a sample command
