Hi Everyone-
Nice job with all the projects! I love the idea of controlling everything. Always been a DIY in just about every respect. I'm currently collecting laptop batteries in hopes of eventually doing some solar storage/back up power and grid independence. I've got big plans but so far I only have the batteries started. I've got about 9000Wh tested so far and I'm researching charge controllers, inverters and solar panels etc. As a Mechanical Engineer all the electronic stuff is hands on learning for me. My background is in manufacturing and machine building and I've had a couple businesses too. Looking forward to learning and hopefully contributing where I can. Just a note - I don't usually join stuff like this - I come form a time before everyone shared information so freely and you usually got burned for sharing. This new way of collaborating is great for everyone and I looking forward to doing my part.
