If it moves - computerise it!

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.
