python code for calculating the amperage pull in an A/C circuit, using a CT transformer and a ADC chip.
Code was based off of the code and the circuit for the arduino open energy monitor program, and adapted for use on a pi. -> https://learn.openenergymonitor.org/
Adafruit has good resources for learning how to set up the ADC chip used for this program. ->https://learn.adafruit.com/raspberry-pi-analog-to-digital-converters/mcp3008
