I'm here to share my success with my solar Garden Pi setup:)
Setup:
2 x 100W Newpowa Polycrystalline Panels
Renogy Wanderer 30A
Optima BlueTop AGM Battery
Raspberry Pi 3B+ running:
- BarkingSpider's SolarShed scripts (connected by RS232 to Wanderer)
- Motioneye camera streaming...
Thanks Joe, but @upnorthandpersonal got me set up with the code. Here is the final code block:
if (True): # for chargers with remote temp sensors
register = renogy.read_register(0x103)
battery_temp_bits = register & 0x00ff...
Thanks for all this great work. I'm building a "smart garden" and the plan is to run OpenSprinkler on my Pi3B+to manage irrigation, while also running a garden cam with MotionEye on the same. Irrigation will be 4x 55gal rain barrels and powered by a 12V on-demand pump from the battery. Plan is...
Hey Joe,
Can you help me out with this code snippet? I have a temp sensor attached to my wanderer that monitors battery temp. I see there is a code snippet that is in RenogyWandrer.py for these, but it seems like it is the same 0x103 register as the scc temp. I'm not very solid at all on...
