Had my datalogging facility from the solar step-up converter finished & connected today – unfortunately, the data aquisition software comes only for Windows. D’oh. But on the plus side of things is this: Fronius, the converter manufacturer, actually publish the protocol specs!
So, time for some low-level RS232 hacking! This has to work on my brave SparcStation10, being my home comms hub & usually up 24/7.
And on a related note: this is why I’m so in favor of Open Standards.
