[ClassicCrazy]

From the Kid manual
https://www.midnitesolar.com/pdfs/Kid_Solar_Manual_10-268-1_REV_P7_2.pdf
The KID Solar Charge Controller Instructions

PC- KID PC Mode:
Use this mode with a serial terminal program in a PC to display the following data:
•Displayed Battery Voltage •Displayed PV Voltage  •Displayed Output in Watts
•KWHs produced
•Amp Hours Produced   â€¢Battery Temperature
•Whiz Bang Jr. Current
•Battery state of charge  •Whiz Bang Jr. Amp Hours
Remaining
Select and save PC Comm to enable this mode. Data is sent once a minute. Data is comma separated
raw decimal format and must be divided by 10 to display correctly.

It means that if you connect to Kid via Serial you can get above data output .
There is also more info on the forums about PC Mode - there was a problem with some firmware where it was not sending valid info .

I can't find it either. 

The present manual that is on the site doesn't seem to mention this.

Thanks Crazy.  I tried to search for  pc mode in the document while in the browser (Chrome) and it did NOT show up.

Then I downloaded the PDF and searched and there it was.

Everything else I searched for showed up in the browser.  pc  for instance showed up in several million places.

Thanks
