I'm very interested by your setup. It has been a shame to have some low voltage power in order to measure power consumption
I hope you can display something soon.
Regards,
Very useful topic for me, thanks. Even though it's been a long time, the information was useful to me. And especially the information on the link you sent.
I have success!
(oops, that's suppose to be Timer1)
I only sample for 1/60 of a second. What I did was to back up all the timer registered I used and then resorted them after I was done sampling. (As opposed to initializing the registers in setup and then starting the timer when needed.)
Now I have a Nano sampling the data and sending it to a MySensors Gateway on an RPi3B+ which then sends it to an MQTT broker runing on an old laptop. Also running on the laptop is Home Assistant running inside of VirtualBox.
If MySensors does use Timer1, it appears that restoring the registers allows it to be shared.

ISR(TIMER1_OVF_vect){ // interrupt service routine for overflow
TCNT1 = TimerPreloadValue; // must be first line! starts the timer counting again

samplesCurrent[sample]=analogRead(CURRENT_IN_PIN);
digitalWrite(TRIGGER_START_SAMPLE_PIN,LOW);
if (!sample){ // count down to zero
digitalWrite(TRIGGER_START_SAMPLE_PERIOD_PIN,LOW); // indicate that sampling is complete
samplingEnd = micros();
TCCR1B &= 248; // turns off timer
}

TCNT1 = 65535; // first trigger right away!

For the pro mini version, should i create another Openhardware project, or should i put it here, in the already existing project?
Might be better to create a new project as they uses a different set of design files.
