MenuOh, I get it now, the "plotter".
I just need to monitor a current level that will trigger a relay.
I do have ACS712 but the problem is, the current has to pass inside (though) the component...

the output is intended to be plotted in the freely available easy to use arduino plotter, the average human will have nil chance of interpreting the data with such a small number of samples. if your...

you cannot use a current transformer that way without a burden resistor.
by voltage sensor do you mean ACS712 or similar ?
if so that circuit is incorrect, typical use

Sorry guys for not reponding earlier - I'm still waiting for 20A:50mA current sensor to arrive; my 100A:50mA are far too low and "out of range" for what I intend to measure.
BUT I could grab a...
adjust resister to for the mid current used incase of some nonlinearity... shotkey diode has .3 volt drop

You might want to specify the model number of the sensor since there are a number of different types, and the circuit shown may not even apply

Have you connected your CT as shown in your first post? That is, the bottom to 2.5V (or VRef/2) and the top to input pin AND - VERY IMPORTANT - a load resistor shown as 33ohms in diagram? You must...

It can't work wired the way you described. The ac signal must be biased by vcc/2 and be less than vcc peak to peak.
If the serial baud rate is too low it will ruin the sample rate.
If the burden...

YHDC current sensor - the theory please
Does this mean there is no resistance inside the sensor?
