Voltage, Current, and Temperature measurement

[drraptor]

I want to measure Voltage, Current, and Temperature of Solar panels and display it on a 16x2 or 20x2 LCD and/or transmit it over Wifi or Ethernet for logging and . So what components I will need ?


Voltage in Volts
Current in Amperes
Temperature in Celsius.

To start with, you will need an ADC, to check your voltage, a current sensor (it can be a hall effect sensor, or a current transformer). For reading temperature you will need a temperature sensor( may be a RTD will do for you or an LM35 IC which gives you an analog voltage based on temperature, so here again you need an ADC).
Obviously you will need a LCD, a microcontroller and based on your data logging requirement other components. I'm sure you can start with UART communication over PC. you can use FTDI232 for that.

what could be my shopping list for this https://embedded-lab.com/blog/?p=4001 I do have a bread board.

I just took a quick look at that link and it has a very descriptive schematic diagram that you can use for as your shopping list..

You just need a microcontroller, temperature sensor and a display unit to display temperature. Apart from this, a few passive elements to support running your controller. I dint go through the link that you posted, but these are the basic components required as far as I can see
