Gas monitoring Bwired

Hello Fringui (sorry to others because of italian language), but you're making the device for the meter ITALGAS? PS: but you're the Fringui that attend forum EOLO?

Yes, eolo forum, I am making the device to counter the classic, I enelenergia, but I think that the meter is the Italian classic, I have not yet examined whether its the silver in fact, when I made the circuit because I was curious ..
PS the forum eolo un botto that do not read and did not attend .. too many forums to follow

Sorry me too , domotic Guys! It's so nice to find in a domotic dutch forum someone that lives some kms near you. This could help me , because i see that fringui is a good technician and has same hardware meters. Thanks again to everybody. Lorenzo, from Luino ( @Fringui , did you think how to monitor Enel power meter?)

For the enel power meter at start i suppose to use a system like bwired... but i found this object (http://cgi.ebay.it/Contatore-elettronic ... 240%3A1318) e i connect S0 to hobby board dual counter
It's more simply...

wow.. my english it's very poor of word

Dear "Fringui"
1- The italian ENI-gas meter does not have the reflecting label in the 6-digit as Bwired in NL; the only solution is a small webcam connected to a microprocessor; today I was not able to find a simple circuit;
2- to monitor the line power usage, take a look at the "Elettronica IN 131,133,134"; the projects use the MCP39005A and the PIC16F876A; also in the 134 on page 11 there is a simple circuit that reads the flashing red led of the italian ENEL-power-meter.

noooooooo really?!?!?!
That's not good News..

Now i read the power-line in simple mode.. with ebay object and 1wire dual counter.

Thanks for info.

@Amelia, as usual all projects in Eleetronica In are referred to kit sold by Futurashop that i know very well. Do you think that i could find a "ready to use" example of this device? Then , this device reads data but what about to send this data to a pc?

Dear <b>drmacchi</b>
In the issue n.133 the project uses a PIC16F876A that sends the information to a break box,issue n.134, with a radio link.
If you are able to program in C language, you can modify the source-program to send the message to a PC with the serial port (COM1) or better with USB.
As a registered visitor you can download the PCB master CS133 and the source SG134; the project is not a kit.

Thanks Amelia. That's hard because of "not able to program"! i was looking for a device ready to use with pc output capabilities.
