I was inspired with these posts so I took up the recommendation to get
one of these current devices and it arrived a week or so back.  Must
say I'm quite impressed so far but less so with our consumption.=20

Now I'd like to wire up to the PC and go xAPing.  I bought one of the
cables you recommended from RS. However, I have a query that I hope
you can help with.  The USB cable comes with a "a 0.1" pitch
header
socket" and not a RJ45 - I missed this subtlety when ordering!  Any
idea how to rewire into a RJ45?  (Colours I have are Green, yellow,
orange, red, brown, black)

(BTW - how have you been getting on with your data logging & graphing?)

Many thanks=20
