Forget it. Seems I can't read today LOL.Added a new section to the forum. Let me know if you guy's want me to add to it

LOL yeah I seen that and edited my silliness LOL.Already have that. Trouble shooting circuits. There is another section for troubleshooting, but this one pertains to diy circuits, so figured the name was fitting:

I do like the new category name "Home Brew Solar Electronics" Perfect. Thanks!Added a new section to the forum. Let me know if you guy's want me to add to it
I was a bit surprised by that since there are many members with systems in the KW's range. Whether one is running a 1 watt system, or 100kw system, I find them all interesting. ?The additional advantage of this section is that its content will not hurt any more the feelings of some grumpy souls "pissed off by 2x100W" users...
Sometimes a bit of clear separation helps to keep the forum ambiance peaceful.
In my previous business life we used to cut the cables with a chainsaw. Now, I enjoy teasing the mA.Whether one is running a 1 watt system, or 100kw system, I find them all interesting.
More likley not upset the narcissists that really only come and post ad nausea to elevate their own self important status and have completely selfish motivations for posting their indignant views. You are correct, not upsetting these people will be an advantage in not having to put up with whining and indignation of their holier than thou positions being threatened in their minds.
Sometimes one just needs something to "make do" with until you can get something better. I have been put down myself for asking "silly questions" in some forums because I either wasn't up on all the latest stuff, or just new, or simply did not have the money for the best there is.More likley not upset the narcissists that really only come and post ad nausea to elevate their own self important status and have completely selfish motivations for posting their indignant views.

It will be especially interesting to see what people can come up with in the use of off the shelf pre made boards that are available off the net.
While many lambast these devices, I have found them to be surprisingly robust and incredibly well functioned. By simply wiring some of these up together, A great deal of control can be obtained. Much easier and within the capabilities of many than designing electronic circuits. May not be the most elegant way but when it's the difference between not being able to do something and having an effective system, it's a great approach.
They also offer far more cost effective approaches to the same jobs that brand name controllers use and with the benifit that if a mistake is made, a small $5 componet can be switched out instead of the whole multi hundred dollar unit being junked.
By assembling and using these pre made boards the user also learns more and has greater repair and programing ability.
Should be very informative to see what people come up with!
I have been yelled at here for asking the "wrong" question at least three times now.I don't think a lot of that is going around on this site though, is it?
"A lot". A small bowl of ice cream is not "a lot".I guess the term " a lot" is Subjective but I would say no, not a lot but it is clearly here and displayed by some in particular.

That's a fairly damning statement. I have noticed some yelling and and arguing and so on, but I don't get the part about completely selfish motivations?More likley not upset the narcissists that really only come and post ad nausea to elevate their own self important status and have completely selfish motivations for posting their indignant views.

I agree and that rang a bell with me. Remember the thread regarding the ebay 5 Amp MPPT....lol? Anyways I find premade boards such as that one interesting and there are tons of them in all different varieties.By assembling and using these pre made boards the user also learns more and has greater repair and programing ability.

A general DIY electronics subforum would be great. In either the general section or the off topic section.I love the clear categorisation in this forum and find that almost everything is covered, but there’s one thing which I consistently find difficult to place into any of the sub-forums, and that’s maybe best described as “general electronics” or maybe “DIY electronics”.
Now your talking my language. I speak C#, embedded C/C++ (preferable running on ARM Cortex M processors), FreeRTOS, I2C, SPI, Ethernet, USB.embedded software, firmware, uP, FPGA, Arduino, Raspberry Pi
Protocols and command sets e.g. CANbus used by Sunny Island, others for Midnight, various BMS.
Development platform Code running on a host (might use a PC initially developing something, later target embedded.
e.g. I use Matlab, some people LabView or Python or C under window/unix/Mac.
gizmos to translate communication between various inverters, charge controllers, BMS, monitors may be popular.
