Well, it's taken a lot longer than I anticipated, but our Arduino based energy monitor is now live and online. Now we can monitor our power system and make sure our new expensive batteries don't get dangerously low on energy.
We have only had it up and running for about 24 hours and I hope to make several enhancements, but... it finally works. In the long run I hope to measure current and battery state of charge, but for the time being voltage will have to do. I will keep the blog up to date as I add capabilities and eventually document all of the equipment, schematics and code. More to come. Stay tuned if your an electronics nut like me.
