...This project is intended to be a teaching and learning experience for those who want to get involved in mechanical engineering, software, electronics, or robotics. JPL is always looking to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and roboticists to help us explore and learn about our solar system (and beyond!). We release the plans for this rover as a way to try and give budding enthusiasts a fun robotics project that will help teach them and get them involved in robotics sooner and at a lower cost. The specific attributes of the robot you build will depend slightly on the type of electronics and motors you buy for the system.

This software is used to extract operational data from the EPEVER Triron solar-PV controller, including its PV power output, battery voltage, load current, device temperatute, etc. Data collection is done in two halves: a client ("solatonclient") that talks to the controller via a serial port and RS-485 adapter, and a server ("solatonserver") that stores the information in files. The "solatonclient" sends information to the "solatonserver" over the network, and because it does not need to write to the file-system itself it can be run on a small computer such as a Raspberry Pi.

...Please see the features WIKI page for a description of the features of PVccupload. The suite is relatively easy and straight forward to configure and operate. The programs are small, light weight and consume only minimal system resources. They are particularly suited for running on a Raspberry PI. An example system using these programs may be seen at: http://pvoutput.org/intraday.jsp?id=11746&sid=9707 or http://pvoutput.org/intraday.jsp?id=11746&sid=12966
