Wiring and Arduino Integration
Connecting the ZMPT101B to an Arduino is straightforward:
- VCC to 5V (or 3.3V if your module supports it)
- GND to Arduino GND
- AO (analog output) to an analog input pin (for example A0)
Example Arduino analog read and conversion tip:
// Read raw ADC value
int raw = analogRead(A0);
// Map raw ADC reading to voltage after calibration
// Vcc and calibration factors depend on your module and circuit
float measuredVoltage = (raw / 1023.0) * Vcc * calibrationFactor;
Note: For safe and accurate mains voltage measurement, perform calibration against a known multimeter and ensure the module is rated for your local mains voltage. Follow safety practices when working with AC mains.
Calibration and Best Practices
- Always calibrate the module using a trusted AC voltmeter to determine the correct conversion factor.
- Use an isolation transformer or proper protective circuit when measuring high voltages to protect your microcontroller and yourself.
- Filter and average several ADC samples to reduce noise and improve measurement stability.
- Keep wiring short and use proper grounding to reduce interference.
Applications
- Smart home voltage monitoring and protection
- Energy monitoring systems and power usage logging
- Industrial and laboratory voltage sensing
- DIY electronics, power supply testing, and educational projects
