thingiverse

This device tracks the amount of power brought in from solar panels outside. I've posted a series of videos on YouTube showing how to build it, and you can find wiring diagrams and files here. Make sure to use the latest version of the receiver code. You'll also find .123dx files that can be modified using 123D design.
