Info

Below find screenshots of an example Kepler workflow using the RBNBToKepler2 actor and the resulting plots. This is junk "desk data"--the Campbell CR800 datalogger and sensors are set up and running on my desk. You can easily note when I switched from AC to solar near the beginning of the battery voltage plot. Sensors and the solar panel were/are occasionally arbitrarily moved about, though it was fairly infrequent (in the case of the panel, generally to better sit in sunlight). We had one cloudy day. The program used to collect these data is also posted below.

Workflow

A bit messy...

Plots

All times are in seconds since unix epoch. This will be remedied in the future, it requires a fair amount of development to be implemented properly.

Datalogger program

This is the CRBasic program running on the CR800 doing the sampling.
