Joy came over this morning to help Libbie with packing leaves. She leaves next Monday via Air Canada for her Baltic cruise. In the meantime, I put the remaining staples into the knee wall outlet then went into the garage and tied the circuit into the breaker box. I already have a supply of GE breakers from when I installed the transfer switch. Finished the wiring and plugged the AC in to the new outlet. The current transformer works. It shows a lower voltage when the AC first turns on but then is just under 3 volts when the compressor comes on. One thing I didn't count on but should have is the voltage is AC. Should know that because it's coming from a transformer. Looked at hooking up an Arduino analog input to the current sensor. I think I will use an Arduino FIO with Xbee to send the AC status. The only choice now is whether to poll or not. I did my walk again this afternoon up to the Seagroves park and then out through Vintage Grove for 2 miles. The garden tomatoes are going strong. Picked a bunch today. There's more out there. Dinner was whole wheat spaghetti with chicken and Curry sauce. Very good!!! Dessert was Southern Hospitality Ice Cream. In the evening we had another thunderstorm which stopped the satellite reception mid way through. We were listening to Hoffman from the Met.
