hello everyone,
i'm designing a DC Chopper ( more like boost converter but with higher gain) that takes input 12-24v dc and steps it up to 200v dc
i need to measure 4 values
- input current ( current waveform looks like continious ramp up and down)
- input voltage (varies between 12v and 24v )
- OUTPUT current (dc current less than 0.5A
- OUTPUT voltage (DC voltage up to 200V )
i connected the ground of the arduino the o/p -ve terminal so now i can measure output voltage and current using voltage dividers and series resistor
the problem is now i need to measure the input values ( V& i) but i can't connect arduino ground to -ve terminal of the input source(Battery)
(i.e. no common ground )
any suggestions ?
noting that i tried
- Voltage to frequency but failed
- isolated Serial communication and also failed :o
