Just wondering if there is a MK2 pv router sketch that also works with emonGLCD?
I am testing my mk2 and think it would be handy to be able to see the data.
Thanks, Adrian

Re: is there a sketch for Mk2 pv router with emonGLCD?
If you have or install the version that is RF-enabled (rev 6 or 6a), then you should be able to customise any of the GLCD sketches to show the nett power at the supply point and the energy diverted. The changes in the GLCD sketch should be fairly minor, but it will not show the correct data without some changes. You'll find some notes about the GLCD SolarPV sketch on GitHub that should help whichever sketch you start from.
All the major versions of the PV diverter sketches are listed: http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/Choosing%20an%20Energy%20Diverter

As well as operating as a diverter of surplus power, the Mk2i rev6a sketch transmits relevant data in a form that I hoped would be useful for datalogging purposes. This includes the amount of energy that has been diverted for "today", and also a sequential message number.
For this data to be received and interpreted correctly, the sketches at either end of the RF link need to have a matching knowledge of the payload format. Once matching structures are in place, the emonGLCD should behave just as it does when any of the original emonTx sketches are in use.
