Hi,
I'm completely new to microcontroller world, i build a solar battery charger using MCP73833 & it charges lithium poly battery 3.7V 1200mAH and then i'm using voltage booster to boost it to 5V so i can charge cell phone or mp3 or ipod with it. I also have a backup battery that kicks in if lithium battery is not charged. Now my teacher wants to make this project more complicated by adding microcontroller functionality to it.
Like I said earlier i never worked with microcontroller, i came across Arduino that its easy to learn and use. I want to add this somewhere in my project it can do any functionality either display battery charge on LCD or as switch between backup battery and lithium battery or anything else.
Please help with this...Thanks
