Hello I am new to this forum
I have decided for my school's project to build a device that measures current in the electrical breaker/panel then output it in a display. I lack experience in building circuit. I have only built one i.e. a power supply in the past.
I would like to ask for some advice on how to get started. What are the concepts I needed to know? What general components it requires? I am planning to build something that measures current like how a clamp meter does it. Lastly, how do I make the electrical signal be output to a display? Do I need a microcontroller?
If I have time, I also want to see the current measurement on my android phone.
