Electricity meter - AI-on-the-edge

prusaprinters

<p>This mount is designed to attach an ESP32-CAM microcontroller to an electricity meter. Together with the open source firmware "AI-on-the-edge" (<a href="https://github.com/jomjol/AI-on-the-edge-device">https://github.com/jomjol/AI-on-the-edge-device</a>) of the user Jomjol it is possible to read the electricity meter automatically and send it via MQTT to a server.</p> <p>You can find my tutorial for this project on Youtube: <a href="https://youtu.be/iUgxwbfkIqU">https://youtu.be/iUgxwbfkIqU</a></p> <p>The hinged strip of the mount can be attached to the top of the electricity meter with double-sided tape, so the whole system can be easily flipped upwards even when installed.</p> <p>It is a good idea to print the model with black filament to avoid unnecessary light reflections on the meter glass.</p> <p>In order to create controlled conditions during photography, it would of course have been even better to design a closed housing. However, this was countered by the longer printing time and higher printing costs. Since my meters are located in a permanently dimmed utility room, I opted for this solution. The advantage is that you can still read or check the meter values manually without removing or converting them.</p> <p>Remixes and improvements of my model are welcome though, you can find the FreeCAD model in the download section as well.</p> <p>Jomjol, the AI-on-the-edge-Developer, has also a Thingiverse-Account:<br/> <a href="/jomjol/">https://www.thingiverse.com/jomjol/</a></p> <p>2021-05-01 - Revision A: Orientation of the ESP32-Cam rotated to landscape format<br/> 2021-11-24 - Revision B: Short design added. Comfortably suitable for meters with a number field width of 45 mm</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Anet</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>A8</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>Yes</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>200</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20</p></div><br/> <strong>Filament:</strong><br/> Eryone PLA </p> </p></p></p> Category: Electronics
