Bryan1:

it is in jest, we can at this stage only laugh at the insanity.

Winter in Melbourne is like about 1/2 of 2% of f**k-all solar power
each day. But! But, we are one month into the "getting more solar" part of the year.
June 20th was the shortest day of our year. It is getting more better-er.

I assume you are using a 2 nano controller as designed by TinyT
aka Nanoverter.
two programs needed, one for the inverter nano and one for the human interface.
nano1 is the name for the inverter controller
nano2 is the name for the human interface controller

I have many versions for both.

don't worry about the current sensor description, it is for the human interface
and is optional.

the inverter will run if the on/off control is held LOW or HIGH continuously.
it is not a simple push button momentary thing now.

email me at peter@bqdesign.com.au for help if needed.

THIS CODE REQUIRES A I2C lcd OR IT WILL NOT WORK.

Do you use/prefer a serial LCD? we might need to discuss.

but if you are using the picoverter (I prefer this for my use cases)
here is what I am using now.
it assumes you have a serial LCD as well, to give simple info that
tells if it's running or not.
