Lots of comments and it only JUST fits into a CMM running in 8 colour mode - I have intentionally made it verbose and not optimisedto allow easy reading. This program monitors a 12V Battery System, monitoring the battery voltage, the solar panel voltage and the amount of charge supplied into and out of the battery via current shunt ICs. The charge/discharge state of the battery is given by comparing current in versus current out. It also estimates time to 30% capacity based on battery voltage and current discharge rate and provides a warning. Real time data is displayed on VGA display as well as historical data recorded to a log file on the SD card for later analysis. It utilises a range of subroutines and defined funtions based on software and ideas from Doug Pankhurst, Geoff Graham, Tom Pankhurst, and also from programs provided in the MMBASIC Software library, authors unknown. This code is free for anyone to use or modify as long as they acknowledge it's source and credit the contributors above. **Physical configuration**: Uses a CG Colourmax 2 as the hardware platform and an Arduino blank shield populated with voltage dividers for battery and solar voltages and Allegro ACS758 current sensors for input (charging) current and load current. Battery charge/discharge current is calculated by subtracting load current from charging current. The 11.8V to 14.4V from the caravan battery system (depending on whether charging or driving load) is fed into an LM317 variable voltage regulator to provide regulated 8.5V to the CGCMM. WARNING: The Allegro current sensors have VERY fragile leads so they need to be physically stabilised. The units I used were unidirectional and had an offset around 600mV and a 60mV/amp capacity. **A general synopsis of the program**: * Disable interrupts; * Define and initialise variables and constants; * Initialise display with static data; initialize 1 minute arrays to allow averaging; * Enter main loop; wait for interrupt ( which sets NewData flag) then handle 2 second, 1 minute, 1 hour and end of day (6AM) occurrences; * Start main loop, waiting for (set by interrupt routine); * Cycle through 2 second, 1 minute, 1 hour and End-of-Day processing with initial data and display initial readings - 2 second routine processes all instantaneous readings from interrupt routines - battery voltage, solar array voltage, input current from both solar controller and/or 240VAC battery charger - 1 minute routine averages 30 two second readings, then pushes the averages into an array, also writes out running graph - 1 hour routine takes array data and writes out to files in .CSV format - EOD ( at 6AM ) closes log file and creates a new log file; * Interrupt provides battery volts, solar volts, input current and load current. **Global Variables**: These are here just for explanatory purposes - they are defined in the program proper. The initialised values are to simplify averaging and also represent typical values. BVolts : Battery Voltage read from Pin A0. Read as 1/6th of real voltage via 6:1 resistive divider. BVArray(29) : Battery Volts 30 element array - 1 each 2 secs. BatCharge : Battery state of charge as a percentage where 12.75V or higher is 100%, down to 12.05V, being 35% - danger level. AverageBV : Average battery voltage over last 60 seconds. BVAArray(59) : 1 hours worth of minute average battery volts. DeltaBV : Battery voltage variation over 60 seconds. The difference between the first and the last used to calculate the "Time to 30% discharge point". Time2Discharge : Time to 30% discharge. SVolts : Solar Array voltage from Pin A1. Read as 1/10th of real voltage by 10:1 resistive divider. SVArray(29) : Solar Volts 30 element array - 1 each 2 secs. AverageSV : Average Solar Panel volts over last 60 seconds. SVAArray(59) : 1 hours worth of minute average solar volts. InputCurrent : Charging current into battery/load read from Pin A2 2.5V reading = 50mA across the shunt, which = 50A through shunt. This can be both battery charging current and load current. ICArray(29) : Input Current 30 element array. AverageIC : Average input (generator) current over last 60 seconds. ICAArray(59) : array with 1 hours worth of minute average input currents. LoadCurrent : Load current of caravan - can be supplied from the batteries and the charging systems (solar, AC Mains or generator). Pin A3. LCArray(29) : Load Current 60 element array. AverageLC : Average load current over last 60 seconds. LCAArray(59) : array to hold 1 hours worth of average load currents. BatCurrent : A calculated value; if positive, = a charging current to the battery; if negative, = a discharge current from the battery. AverageBC : Average charge/discharge current over last min calculated by AverageLC-AverageIC. InputCurrentAH : Input current as an amp hour calculated value - this is an accumulating value over 24 hours. PreviousICAH : yesterdays Input Current AHs. LoadCurrentAH : Load current as an amp hour calculated value - this is an accumulating value over 24 hours. PreviousLCAH : yesterdays Load Current AHs. BatCurrentAH : Bat charge (+value) or discharge (-value) as an amp hour calculated value - accumulating value over 24 hours. PreviousBCAH : yesterdays Bat Current AHs. LogArray$ : String to use for plugging into log array NewDataFlag : Two second flag - set every 2 seconds by the interrupt routine when new voltage and current values are collected. MinFlag : Minute flag - set once every min at 00 seconds by sec interrupt process and cleared by min processing code. HourFlag : Hour Flag - set on the hour to enable writing the 60 average readings in the log array to be written to file EODFlag : End of Day Flag - set at 6AM to enable daily log file to be closed and new log file created by LogFileCreate subroutine **CVBM204.BAS**: '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ' Battery Management Program for Caravan 12V System ' ' Copyright Doug Pankhurst May 2012 ' ' Written for MMBasic V4.3a, copyright Geoff Graham 2012 ' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ' File Version: 2.04 May 2013 ' ' For a detailed explanation of the program, it's ' construction and rationale, please read the ' CVBMREAD.TXT file.
