Hi there, since i am quite new to the Arduino and SEGMeter, i find the V2.0 does not have the 5V input, so how can i get it connect to the 5V Power?

Thanks,

Raymond

Hey Raymond,

There is 5v input on the arduino/fdti compatable header, and also the double 8 pin Dragino header, which also brings 12v used for the relays.

There is also an expansion board for the v2.0 and v2.1 that has 6-12v barrel jack inputs as well as regulators and other power goodies.

Let me know how you get on!

Thanks,

Sam.

So, that means if i plug the FTDI serial programming cable to the PC, then the USB Power supply can provide enough power to switch it on?

Thanks,

Raymond

That's Right!

Much simpler - this version was designed to mate directly to Dragino which provides the power, just like your PC can through the FTDI cable.

Sam, @samotage

That is awesome, i will get a FTDI cable and try how it works. Thanks so much

Hi Sam, please allow me to ask one more question. 

Since i only bought the SEGmeter V2.1 and the 13mm Sensor Kit. So i need a Dragino to make it connect to the smartenergygroups sites?

Can i first pass the Sensor data through the USB to the PC first and vise versa?

Thanks so much!

Raymond
