Wirelessly control MEP-803a (and like generators) using Raspberry Pi

[asulwer]

I created, 'sort of', a free project to remotely control my generator using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. Details of everything will be at the Github pages dedicated to this project.

• RaspberryPi Zero 2W (or similar product) - connects to your wifi OR acts as an AP
• I2C 4-channel stackable relay hat - relays to control four position switch used to start generator and enable AC delivery
• LM2596 DC-DC Buck Converter Step Down Power Supply 1.25V-30V 3A - uses the generators battery to power Raspberry Pi and relays
• code for Raspberry Pi

Future additions

• Relay hat of my own design, to include sensors for oil pressure, engine temp, ambient air temperature, fuel level, voltage load, etc.
  • board design is loosely based on this Instructable
  • KiCad board
• RFM69HCW for wireless communication with inverter to remotely control generator.
• Instructions on how to connect everything will be at Github repository
