Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Adding a link like you have done is probably the best way.

Thats a very interesting video there Steve, well done. Keep us posted on how your MPPT development goes.

Hi, if you use a battery for a test load do need a special interface or do you limit the board output ?

just because your a GURU or forum administer does not mean your always correct :)

Like I said in the video, right now the firmware is pretty crude, but eventually I want to have all the limits configurable so you could tell the board that to charge hard as long as the output voltage is below 14, and then start cutting back on the current so that it's zero if the battery is at 14.5

There is also a dump load circuit on the board so that if your battery can't take the power, it can put it into a dump load to keep the turbine under control.
