My apologies - I did not anticipate such strong demand! It sold out within
an hour of my post going out on the list. I'm working to get it back in
stock in the next couple of days.

Unfortunately, following the link to Amazon for the zero crossing detector
shows it is not in stock:
Currently unavailable.
We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.

I've been tinkering on-and-off over the past couple of years with
measuring
mains frequency. One problem I found is that inexpensive and homebrew
timestampers and counters can often only measure positive signals, not
bipolar signals. There are various messy solutions to this problem that
have always seemed a little janky or unsafe to me, so I decided to make a
clean solution and built a small zero-crossing detector. In case other
people might find it useful, I made it available for sale for $25 (
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DK2GTKS4).
The board is simple: it takes 5-12VAC input on a barrel connector from an
AC wall wart. It gives you a 3.3V square wave output on an SMA connector,
suitable for plugging into a variety of measurement devices. The AC input
both powers the device and serves as the source of the signal being
measured. The square wave indicates high or low depending on the polarity
of the input. The board is small (about 30mm x 55mm) and includes 4
mounting holes.
More information, photos, and some graphs showing data I've collected with
it, are available here:
