Some basics around the system
Each measuring point is based on a Texas MSP430F2013 CPU connected to a Zigbee module from Maxstream. This part has been tested last season and were able to run 3 month on two AA batteries. There will be only small changes to this part.
The receiving unit consists of the same CPU and Zigbee unit and an Oled display of the size 0.9 inch.The receiver will hopefully be mounted in an Otterbox initially made for an Ipod nano.

Getting some grip on the power consumption and generation
This is a story of a small computer measuring various electrical happenings on a sailboat.
It started by sitting to much still on a chair busy programming.
The goal is to have something up and running before the swedish holiday season.
