I would think that the "heavy lifting" of regulating the actual output power of the charger would be a function of the charge controller itself? Maybe you could tie into / control that somehow with your own microcontroller as brain / interface? Maybe they expose some API, serial, or other method of interfacing with their hardware?
What are/were you using for charge controller?
Also, what is "CT" in this context?
I have read a bit here and there about solar (and related moving around and controlling of power, eg. batteries, charge controllers, etc...), as it is something I plan on doing "eventually" although I have no direct experience as of yet. So I will be following this thread with interest.

I found the solution on this page: http://mathertel.blogspot.com/2013/04/using-spi-bus-with-ethernet-sd-card-and.html
The key is setting the Chip Select (CS) line to be different for each module.
For the CC3000...
"#define ADAFRUIT_CC3000_CS 7"
Pin 7 is being used exclusively to select the Wifi module.

For the NRF24L01+...
"RF24 radio(9,10);"
Pin 9 is being used for Chip Enable (CE) and Pin 10 is Chip Select (CS).

The other SPI pins: CLK, MISO, MOSI, are shared by the two modules and get wired in parallel.
Hi do you still have a Gateway code when using CC3000 and arduino Mega or UNO(if it fits)?
You should not typ "\n"!
It means that you should press enter on your keyboard.
On Linux I saw that I have to send "\r\n" instead of "\n".
"\r\n" (Carriage return, Line feed) is the Windows return, "\n" only the Linux return.
@gohan said in Assistance on sensor project:
While you are at it, get some extra parts too, just in case you fry something since in the beginning it is not that hard.
And they're cheap.
