1. This circuit, based on a PIC microcontroller with a few added components, converts a sensor-based voltage into a 4- to 20-mA current loop. Shown is the circuit as originally drawn on a whiteboard.

The title says it all – this article describes a microcontroller-compatible current sensor module you can build yourself, using an inexpensive 8-pin chip as an ‘active shunt’ for measuring ac/dc ...

By modifying the data from the register,you can set the sensor’s integrationtime at 2.5 to 50 msec, or 100 msec withthe prescaler of T2. Knowing that thesensor acquired the data in the previouscycle, ...
