- Inverter Operation Mode
works with
- pip / PCM devices
- i solar
- IGrid
- Many devices from EASUN
- and many many others based on the chinese solar inverter with a rj45 jack and usb port, primary identified by the display
Based around an ESP8266 WiFi microcontroller.
PROGRAMMING: You need to program it before hooking it up to the TTL board! Im using HW Serial since its so buggy using Software Serial and Wifi reliable so its not even worth it.
UART0: Talks to the inverter at 2400 baud and for programming. DISCONNECT RX before programming
UART1: Used for debugging only. Just connect another serial adaptor to D4 with 9600 baud.
POWER: Using a 3.3V DC Buck Converter that can handle up to 20V or a DC/DC or USB power currently.
WIFI: The system defaults to AP mode on first setup. Surf to "Solar-AP" AP and then surf to http://192.168.4.1/ On this page configure WIFI and MQTT.
Most of the parts can be bought as modules, it's usually cheaper that way.
Approximate prices found on Ebay
- ESP8266 - Wemos D1 Mini ($2.66)
- MAX3232 module ($0.70) - it's just a max3232 with 5 capacitors on a tiny little board
- DC-DC buck module ($1.50) - 12-80v down to 5v
- LEDs ($0.50) - The leds are for status etc
Total cost: $5
