Finished adding handles and bigger wheels to 1KW Power Station

Finally, added two handles to power station.  I just have index.html code to finish now :) Which needs to work as a hotspot and provide graphs based on stored sqlite3 data tables.

Started using old 100W PV panels to charge lead-acid 12v leisure batteries

Image
These have been gathering dust in the shed for the last year. So will see if they will still take a charge. The two 100W panels and epever charge controller were recently recovered from being leant to the Shannon Tidy Towns 40' Container. Based on an Epever LS2024B https://shop.thesunpays.co.za/products/epever-ls2024b-solar-charge-controller-20a-pwm And monitored using a Blynk code on a NodeMCU.(A version can be found on my laptop under  Tracer-RS485-Modbus-Blynk-V2.ino as not yet shared to Github) The charging is monitored here..
