Satisfying. A video conversation going on downstairs from here in Scotland to family in Australia, via our own Nextcloud Talk. No privacy intrusion, no permissions needed, no restrictions (other than our own hardware & bandwidth). Works so well, in spite of the dreadful internet connection we have.

Great Northern, Stoer Bay, this morning. The water is so clear I could follow it under water for a while.

Would love to be able to collect data on wind input and DC output, but I need an ammeter I can connect via the Pi. No idea how to do that. Any suggestions gratefully received. Wind = 20A max, output 100A max.
Woohoo. I'm on a roll here. Now added offgrid battery voltage and solar amperage to the weather page https://www.vasten.co.uk/weather

The data is collected by a Pi Zero in the battery shed, connected via a serial cable to the Tristar PWM controller. At night, the "Solar Amps" on the web page bit should disappear.

After stubbornly refusing to give up way after my meagre bash skills had peaked, my laptop now speaks the current weather and the offgrid battery voltage and incoming solar amperage. Unfortunately I have no way of getting wind amps into a computer at the moment. Data comes from a Pi now living in the battery shed. The script comes from the sweat of my brow.
