Solar Module Test

A monitoring system for solar modules using the SparkFun RedBoard Artemis Nano platform.

Hardware Components

• SparkFun RedBoard Artemis Nano
• BH1750 Light Sensor (I2C address 0x23)
• INA228 Current/Voltage Sensors:
  • Solar Panel Monitor (0x40)
  • Battery Power Monitor (0x42)
  • Load Power Monitor (0x41)

Features

• Real-time monitoring of light intensity (lux)
• Voltage, current, and power measurements for solar panel, battery, and load
• Serial output of all sensor readings

Requirements

• PlatformIO or Arduino IDE
• Adafruit_INA228 library (modified for direct I2C communication)
• hp_BH1750 library

Wiring

• BH1750 connected to I2C (SDA/SCL)
• INA228 sensors connected to I2C with appropriate addresses (0x40, 0x41, 0x42)

Usage

1. Upload the code to your SparkFun RedBoard Artemis Nano
2. Open Serial Monitor at 115200 baud
3. View real-time sensor readings updated every 3 seconds
