Hello,
I am looking for cheap current sensors for a Branch Circuit Monitoring project I am wanting to put together for my home. I am completely new to these kind of projects, so I don't have a good grasp on suppliers, etc...
All I need is a voltage to come out of a sensor that is proportional to the amount of current flowing through the current.
I have found several of these, but the all seem, to me at least, to be rather expensive. I am looking for something in the $1-$5 range, since I need 30, and about $200 is all I can devote to a hobby project right now. Most of the ones I have found have been between $20 and $50 EACH!
Any advice is much appreciated!
Thank you
