By using this device you can monitor the following parameters:
1. Voltage
2. Current
3. Power
4. Energy
5. Ambient Temperature
You can also know how much money you are saying by using the Solar Panel.
Specifications:
Input Voltage - 24V ( Max )
Current - 15A ( Max )
You can increase the input voltage range, by selecting appropriate resistors on the voltage divider circuit.

@opengreenenergy 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, you have to connect the 5V to ESP32 board Vin Pin.The onboard voltage regulator step down the voltage to 3.3V .

@guidocomba 3 жыл бұрын

@@opengreenenergy it´s me again hahaha, im working on a similar circuit with some improvements to adapt it to our system. The doubt that i have is how you regulate the linear scale of the analog input of the ESP-32 to 0~3.3V from the current sensor ACS712 that, as far as I know, generates a voltage from 0V to 5V. I can imagine that after the signal of the current sensor you need a voltage divider to adecuate the analog scale.If you have any tips I would appreciate it

Okay. Good video, I guess. However, I am confused about which wires from the panel and the controller goes to this unit. I know two wires, positive and negative from the panel setup are connected to the charge controller, ordinarily and after having connected the correct poles from the battery setup. So, where does this monitoring unit come in? How does one connect to the setup for adequate monitoring?
