This testing will be done by Liam during the Spring 2020 term, and will verify the ability to communicate over SPI, I2C and read using the controller board ADCs for each of the sense measurements.
SPI Communication
The SPI communication is used for the input voltage sense measurements to the MPPTs, indicating the amount power generated by each segment of the array. The SPI communication from the MPPTs will give indication of the input voltage, input current and MPPT temperature as it will internally go into a fault state for an OVP, OCP and OTP conditions.
