Arduino control for Alternator

Basically he said that what will happen is taht the thing will trip at a low level then by programming. the logic will start a count down. and at 0 the logic will trip back on too the battery. if the certain battery level is not right the relay will trip back and the count down will start again.

looks likes its arduino time
It looks the same to me.

Even a very simple logic with Arduino will be a big step forward, as this will allow further improvement later. There are small arduinos that will be excellent for the final circuit.

Please do work on that and keep us all informed.
