IceMeter 2
Let me introduce to you our IceMeter2, this is using the same great controller board we use for our Canbus controlled 44 ~ 57 volt rectifiers, but here can also be used with our custom power boards to suit the server power supplies.
I will come back and update with more information as soon as I can.
Unlike the basic Coolice Protection Circuit, the IceMeter 2 can now control 2 PSU's, meaning a 24 volt setup can be used safely with your iCharger DUO series charger, or any charger for that matter.
Now sporting an on-board, or remote wired, OLED display, the user can scroll through and see the connected power supplies voltages, the on-board 100 amp shunt allows us to show live current draw readings, current temperature via a temp probe (up to 3 possible), the various parameter settings (which are user settable) such as;
1. Under Voltage Protection (UVP) set point
2. Over Voltage Protection (OVP) set point
3. Over Temp Shut Down
4. Minimum Current Set Point, LED colour change set point.
5. Max Current Set Point
A strip or ring of 16 Neo-pixel LED's can now be used for something more useful than decoration when connected to the IceMeter 2. With point 4 above, this minimum current set point effects the point the Neo-pixel strip changes from rolling colour to a solid green, thus signalling a low amp draw and end of charge state. While no LiPo should be left unattended, standing a few feet away you can now use the Neo-pixel lighting as a visual clue as to your batteries state of charge.
We can also control external cooling fans based on temperature, the cooing fans in your case can be programmed to turn on when internal temperatures rise, so they are not running at all times.
Another addition is WiFi, yes the IceMeter 2 can stream information wirelessly via a web page! This can be setup as an access point only,. or connected to your home/office WiFi network.
