3 Optional Equipment to Fully Evaluate the System

  • An output load to discharge the battery and use the load voltage/current monitoring functions (an inline fuse and manual disconnect method for test and safety purposes is highly recommended).
  • External LED driver/ballast when using the system in hybrid mode (solar-powered with an external AC driver as backup).
  • MPLAB® PICkit 5 or a similar programmer to update firmware.
  • A PC-based terminal program to monitor diagnostic print statements from the UART configured for 115.2K baud. It must be on the same PC as the GUI.
