Vcc is the voltage reference no doubt there . Your error comparing that to the voltage from the allegro .That's a nice choice there . I like lean circuit designs . I'll buy one and run it through it's paces . Rather than go on as negitive input .

Tecker, I ran out of them a while ago, here is a cache from google of that page with the message dated July 10th.

If you think its so bad I invite you to put it together properly (good layout) and test it. I dont force ppl to buy it or try to convince them about it, thats the reason I give schematics. You dont want to buy it or skeptical you have the map to build it and test for yourself. I have no plans to make a business out of it either, I posted it free for all.

I see, This works fine but its not MPPT it was not my idea actually but Flux's. I was just the one that actually implemented the idea and got it to work after Flux.

I wont be making this one anymore, I will be replacing the tl494 with a small PIC and go MPPT all the way. Sure it will have to be more expensive as there would have to be much more protection for the micro, the 494 is a tough IC.

I have to finish older projects though.
