Introduction
In modern times where power management and power saving are given prime importance considering the shortage of resources in the existing scenario. Power monitoring plays an important role in performing energy audit and zeroing into the places where excess power is being consumed. This project aims at providing a system capable of monitoring the power and logging it into the computer or laptop. The power can be sampled at any required duration, and the power measured and the time of sampling is recorded into the laptop in a file.
MSP430G2553
The microcontroller used is MSP430G2553 from Texas Instruments; it is 16 bit low power mixed signal microcontroller. It has maximum operating frequency of 16Mhz.It has 8kb program memory and 256bytes of RAM. It has 2 16-bit timers, 10-bit, 8 channel ADC and USART peripheral. It consumes very less power and operates at 3.3V power supply.
ADC which is used to sample the voltage and current. The data is reduced to 8-bit and the data is processed by the microcontroller. The ADC provides a resolution of 12.8mV.
