Solar Recorder using a PIC 18F458 Microcontroller

  Wichit Sirichote has built a solar recorder that stores data to a compact flash memory card, there are full details including code and schematics available so that you can make your own. Even if you don’t need a solar recorder you can see how to store data to compact flash from a PIC microcontroller. "The EMF from pyranometer is 14uV/Wm-2. For 1000W/m-2, the output EMF will be .0014V. The
