First Lesson

  • Video 1 - Introduction to the Solar PV with Battery Storage project Solar PV Intro
  • Video 2 - YouTube video showing how the Raspberry Pi and Arduino can communicate using (USB) serial communications Serial Communication between Raspberry Pi and Arduino.
  • The video is actually embedded in this site - but use the video above Raspberry Pi Arduino Serial communication
  • Serial communication will be important in gathering data from the Solar PV system so that system performance can be monitored.
  • Serial communication is also used to configure the different components of the Solar PV system.

Materials

  • Access to the internet
  • Arduino UNO
  • Raspberry Pi
  • Serial cable
