I'm looking into a project to mesure the volt and temp (datalogging) of 4x 12 volt batteries in series (telecomunication 48v setup) over ethernet. Will the Web platform work for me? This might become a big project as I have +- 70 sites witch I need to monitor. My electronic and C prog experience on pics is not that much but it I am willing and interested in learning. If this project can work, can you please sugest the temp and volt inputs like the AD22103 temp sensor in the EPE mag "WIB" project. Thanks. Hope te hear from you soon.
If you're a PIC and C newbie the an Arduino or other platform might be a better option. The web platform works great for all our strange internet attached projects, but it is not a simple thing to get started with.
I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the WIB project, but I posted in the forum so other people can make suggestions too.
Another platform you might look at is the Raspberry Pi. No on-board a-d converter, but you could use one of the many i2c ones, as well as i2c temperature sensors. Main problem is the order backlog -- I've heard estimated ship dates in august for the latest orders.
Hi Ian,
I'm nearly finished a similar project, prototype testing finished.
It uses the Arduino to monitor two 12VDC batteries & post them on a web page.
If you have any questions, send me a PM.
