Would it be possible to make a UPS using a PIC?
I have some deep cycle lead acid batteries, a couple AC invertors and a good regulated 12V DC power supply.
Is there a way to use a PIC to interface between the AC Power, Batteries and AC Invertors to monitor the charging, show how much power remains in the batteries as well as what power source is currently being used (AC or batteries)?
If so, what would be the best place to get some info on how to start such a project?
Any help would be greatly apreciated.
Thanks
