Good to hear that Shawn. My PV may be a bit delayed as the earthquake repairs start after Easter so I may be short of working space for 2-3 months while that is done.

Just a minor update to give an idea of the tweaks that have come about in the last 18 months.

  • The dump load algorithm is now following a logarithmic rule to apply more load at higher voltages
  • Add a few more commands to the serial interface for remote operation
  • Add firmware version number to system display, keep uptime
  • Change timing code so settings the clock doesn't mess up all the statistics collection
  • Add basic code to shut down mill if RPM too high - it waits for a safe speed before trying to stop it!
  • Graphic display of last hour, last day and last month to track usage

Still a few ideas to go yet! Next version might use a better display rather than the basic 20x4 character LCD.
