About the Smart meter PCB
Smart meter is an open source PCB design by tadakado, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 64.1 × 72.4 mm, with 86 components from 22 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the ADE7816. By type, the board carries 37 resistors, 21 capacitors, 10 jumpers, 8 transistors, 6 connectors and 1 IC.
It belongs with the sensors designs in this gallery.
From the project
Smart meter with 6ch monitoring utilizing ADE7816 - sensor board only, need cpu board with I2C or SPI
Note: LVCC is designed for a cpu board system with lower voltage such as 1.8V. If you use 3.3V system, you can skip level converters. For such case, use JP2-9 and remove R21-36 & Q1-8.
If you use another sensors, you may change values of resistors.
