Unexplained appliance shutdowns? Your AC mains aren't always as clean as the utility promises. This kit puts a precision ZMPT101B voltage sensor on your wall socket, sampling 50 times a second to catch voltage sags, swells, and total interruptions as they happen. The Arduino Mega logs every event to a microSD card, stamped with date and time from a DS3231 real-time clock, so you can finally prove that the inverter isn't tripping without reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll wire up a full AC voltage data logger that records any deviation beyond safe thresholds. The 0.96-inch OLED shows real-time RMS voltage, event counts, and system status. Later, you can pull the SD card, open the CSV file, and graph every sag and swell that occurred while you were away.
