Raspberry Pi Solar Logger

The Raspberry Pi solar data logger project is now live and is the latest version of our previous data logging systems using Arduino and Android + IOIO board projectsThe Raspberry Pi is used as a data processing and uploading system which pulls data from the following sensors and then uploads to a web server via HTTP GET.I2C home temperature sensor Microchip MCP98031-Wire DS18B20 temperature sensors on Solar hot water collector input pipe, hot water cylinder top and base and also an unused temperature sensor in the box containing the Raspberry Pi board and interface boards.Mains current Elkor i-Snail-VC Current Transducer 0 to 100 Amps which produces 0-5V DCLow voltage current sensors using ACS712 30A Current Sensor Modules (sourced from ebay)The Raspberry Pi ADC board uses a pair of Microchip MCP3428 16-Bit, Multi-Channel Analog-to-Digital Converter with I2C™ Interface chips with low pass filters and voltage dividers on the inputs to bring the 0-5V range down to 0-2.048 which the chips can process.

There is a small rubber foot which holds the board off the HDMI socket on the Raspberry Pi.
