power sensing

[zones]

Hi All,

I would like to use girder to sense when my amps are turned on. Does anyone have a suggestion regarding available sensors that have girder support.

Cheers in advance

Geoff,

I believe that www.phidgets.com will do this. There are other ways as well.

Mike,

Looks like Phidgets might just work, they dont have an AC sensor at the moment (One on its ways in 6 weeks), I am sure I can find one elsewhere though.

How would I link girder to the Phidget card is there a driver or will I need to custom write a bit of Lua?

Cheers Geoff

Lua and Luacom... there are some examples in the downloads area.

Mike,

Did anyone end upgetting that discount, for the first girder us of phidgets?

No one did a project that was written up. I am sure the offer is still available from them.

Dan,

If you want to claim it go ahead, I wont be placing my order for 6 weeks are so when new sensors are available. Besides I dont know anything about the discount.
