Your point about the fuse is very reasonable. But great part of the world on the wall plug does not have a mark about that (this is serious but this is how it is...).
you can believe that. i wont argue over quaint international power receptacles, i believe if the terminals are clearly marked line and neutral and there is a line fuse in the device then that is the...
I agree with Henrik. It will be dangerous to sell devices that depend on the connection of the plug since in Europe there is no way to know where is Live and where is Neutral.
Neutral and ground/earth are of course bonded here, in fact the incoming feed is usually 4-wire, three phases and a combined neutral/earth conductor (TN-C).
Again, there is absolutely NO WAY I...
really really bad advice
It really does matter how you connect 110V across the L & N connections if you live in a country that has a grounded neutral. while your device may function either way,...
It really doesn't matter as long as you connect 110V across the L & N connections.
Here in Sweden, we use Schucko connectors for 230V outlets and they're not polarised so depending on which way...

Since this question has come up again, I thought I'd throw this module out to the masses. It is something I worked on a while back, with DT's help. Amid life's other priorities, it got put on the shelf to collect dust.
The basic idea is that by adding the module as an INCLUDE and inserting a couple of commands inside your code, you can have the PIC send timing data to your PC via the hardware serial port. It's made for 18F PICs (although some 16Fs may work too). You also need a timer that is not being used for anything else.
1) Instructions are included, as well as a small example.
2) It worked well for me, and as I recall, DT in testing.
3) Use it however you want.
4) I won't be able to offer much support, but figure there are enough knowledgeable folks around here that can help those who need it.
