I would like to monitor my well pump's amperage and voltage using the Arduino and was wondering if any one else has done this or if any body has an idea on what type of sensors needed. It is 220V 1PH 1HP 60Hz submersible well pump motor which draws about 9.8AMPS (Much higher on start up).
I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this unit could somehow be interfaced with the arduino duemilanove: http://symcom.com/product.php?pid=586&catid=59
Or if someone could offer suggestions on a unit that could be used to do something like this.
After doing some research it appears that I might be able to use the wifly or ethernet shield. I was thinking that maybe I could use a site like Pachube to monitor my data.
I'm just getting into electronics and have been reading a lot of books and forums so sorry if I sound like a complete N00b. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
