As you may have noticed I’m quite busy working on the MPPT Solar Charger project. The latest version uses a 4 lines x 20 characters LCD that connects via I2C as well as a rotary encoder with a push button.
It’s been a long six weeks since my last post but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t done anything since. Among other things, I wrote some code to get the I2C interface working and hooked the anemometer up to an Arduino Uno with an LCD display attached. Apart from demonstrating the I2C interface this also nice for testing. For the first time I can see what this thing is measuring in real time without hooking it up to a PC over USB.
