Sorry about that forgot to send code. Decided to use Ethernet shield, got it to upload to Arduino with Ethernet shield. Not sure if it is sending info back to computer. When I upload the code it shows as being right (No errors) but when I disconnect the USB and connect the Ethernet cable i don't get any info on PC screen or serial monitor. Also trying to get wireless router involved, any ideas how.
here is the code, can you look it over and see if you can figure out why it isn't sending the info back to PC? Thanks Michael
/*
* The purpose of this program is too monitor the voltage of a battery and depending on the voltage generator.
* The controller needs to handle a wide voltage range and a wide current range if connected to a turbine
* of varying speed. The speed can vary greatly and therefore the out will have to be carefully monitored.
*
* The controller will have the following states:
* - Battery voltage below 14.0v : charge the battery
* - Battery voltage 14.0v or above : dump the turbine generator power to a dummy load
