Wireless communication with aMagnetek - Aurora - Power One inverter

[2ndbillericay]

 We have a 3.6 Aurora Inverter with the wireless data card which transmits on the 868.25 KHz frequency and are looking at building a LED display to show the users of our Scout Hall how much power we are generating.

We need to receive the Data Transmission and decode it - has anyone tried this yet ? We are playing with an Arduino & Jeenode to drive the system once we can capture the wireless data.

Any suggestions or pointers to other people who may have done this already to save reinventing the wheel.

Many thanks

We have a 2.16 Kw PV system driving the Aurora Inverter and putting power back into the Grid.

You might want to PM Rob Beckers, he is quite and Aurora guru.

Hi Richard,

If you have a programmer handy (or maybe you're the programmer?); much of the RS485 protocol has been published by Power-One. Contact me at Rob@solacity.com and I'll be happy to send you a copy.
