Measuring and Displaying Solar Panel Voltage on an LCD using Arduino

Measuring and Displaying Solar Panel Voltage on an LCD using Arduino Step 1: Components Required Arduino Board (e.g., Arduino Uno) Solar Panel (small panel with known voltage range) Voltage Divider Resistors (e.g., 15kΩ and 5kΩ) 16x2 LCD with I2C Interface Jumper Wires Breadboard (optional for ease of connections) Step 2: Circuit Diagram Connect the Solar Panel: Connect the positive terminal of the solar panel to the input of the voltage divider circuit. Use resistors R1 (15kΩ) and R2 (5kΩ) to step down the voltage to a range readable by the Arduino (0-5V). Voltage Divider Connections: Solar Panel + connects to the junction between R1 and R2. R2 connects to GND . The voltage reading point (junction between R1 and R2) goes to A0 (analog input) of the Arduino. Connect the LCD: If using an I2C LCD , connect the LCD pins as follows: GND to Arduino GND VCC to Arduino 5V SDA to Arduino A4 SCL to Arduino A5 Step 3: Arduino Code Use the following code to read the solar panel ...
