An update

Long time since the last post. Sorry, lots of things been getting in the way. I've had a leak in the roof of my van which has needed a lot of attention to try and track down are repair. In the process I had to remove the cab floor as it's foam backing was sodden.

Anyway, I did get a moment to make a nice hardwood bezel for the display unit for the battery monitor. I made it out of a piece of mahogany I got from the Bristol Wood Recycling project.


This is displaying the display I was working on with the touch-screen LCD I got to attach to an Arduino Mega clone.

I just need to wire it all up now and get back to working on the actual software.

In another development I managed to work out how to send data via GPRS with my GSM module, so I might use that and transmit the battery data to a web service running elsewhere rather then storing it locally on an SD card.
