HackerBox #0120 - Current Affairs
Explore electrical current measurement and power monitoring. Start with the basics of current flow, voltage, and root mean square (RMS) representations. Assemble the Current Affairs Power Monitor device based on the Wi-Fi enabled ESP8266 microcontroller. Configure the Arduino IDE to program the Power Monitor. Leverage SCT-013 current transformers and ADS1115 analog-to-digital convertors to measure current flow into an electrical load. Experiment with the ESP32-based SONOFF Mini R4 Extreme smart switch. Configure a DIY smart switch based on the ESP-01S Wi-Fi Relay Module. Consider integration of monitoring and control devices with home automation solutions such as ESPHome, Home Assistant, and Tasmota. Take a glimpse into the development of UNIX and the C Programming Language at Bell Labs and the amazing technical contributions made by Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and Brian Kernighan.
