pic - Split core current transformer


I'm looking for a simple, cheap device to detect low ac current. It will be used to detect irrigation valves. These valves operate @ 24 vac (60 hz) typically 100 - 200ma. I just need a go-no go signal, I'm not interested in the actual value. The device needs to be a "clamp on" type with no physical connections. I'm open to rolling my own, this is a one-off project. Perhaps something with a hall sensor, clothes pin type of thing. Any ideas out there?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
