Has anyone built a telemetry system for their generators? Something that would MONITOR the parameters and be visible via a wifi link or cell data link?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I do too! However, it requires me to get up off the couch when watching TV (no fun thereI use a kilowatt meter inside the house to monitor the hertz and voltage so I don't have to go outside and check things. This would eliminate 2 factors to monitor.

I might use something based on the Intel 8051, but mainly because I have experience with it. The original 8051 debuted in the 1980s and variants are still being made.
I'll most likely use that or a Raspberry Pi as the controller and web server. I want to use hardened IO and preferably something modular so it can be customized for different gensets. The challenge will be to keep the cost modest.An Arduino controller would be a great choice. My son has used them, and they have a good reputation.
