I just  saw Mario's  new raw PCB for the Kid clipper come in today !

Just FYI.

I assume that means the actual kid clipper is not too far away and that the kid firmware for wind turbine is in testing.
Sadly, I see that there is now an ETracer 60amp mppt controller with an external, up to 1.2kw, control load for several models of 200 to 1kw turbines (all Chinese manufactured). Looks like a clipper type design as its a bit complicated to just be a simple diversion load, 3 WW resistors and 3ph ssr plus a set of power diodes all in a matching ETracer box with fans

Classic 250, 150,  20 140w, 6 250w PVs, 2Kw turbine, MN ac Clipper, Epanel/MNdc, Trace SW3024E (1997), Century 1050Ah 24V FLA (1999). Arduino power monitoring and web server.  Off grid since 4/2000

DgD, you have a link ?  I couldn't find anything regarding the Etracer and a dump load

I can't find a web link either.
I viewed the actual box at a main pv supplier who was preparing a presentation for a soon happening yachting show in Auckland. He was confident there would be lots interest from boat owners as they apparently sell 100+ small turbines each year.
I will see if I can get some photos on my next visit

any developments on this front?
48v system, 2 solar kids synced{1500w x2 arrays of trina honey 250w}with a 3rd kid synced for hydro f+p 700w turbine{early days!}, classic 150 for 4275w solar ,classic 250/ac clipper for wind {coming} , schneider xw+ 8548 inverter 645ah ex ups exide  jtt12v4800 ,3 strings{fingers crossed}.

you guys love keeping me in suspenders, and while i have the legs for them, they are a little uncomfortable!

i know that you {midnite possy} are super busy, fingers in multiple pies and doing max development as the industry goes nuts.

can you give  those of us living in hope an eta on this gadget.

even though i'm the most pesky poster about this, i know there are other fiends out there, waiting with baited breath just as i am.

p.s. keep up the great work. your products, your accessibility and your customer service are second to none.
