Hello folks,
I am a designer from India trying to make a mosquito zapper that keeps count of the number of mosquitos killed.
I am trying to implement a number counter to the circuit of a readily available mosquito zapper bat (Image below).
I want to do this using an arduino nano or an ESP 32 chip. Essentially, each time the zapper zaps a mosquito, I want it to send an input into one of the digital pins of the arduino.
The capacitor at the end of the circuit reads 2000v. I assume this is going to be the output voltage between the steel meshes. I do not have a high voltage multimeter to verify this. I am unsure about how to convert this into a safe voltage spike that can be read by the arduino's pins.
Apologies if this is a noob question.
