I'm using the Jaycar MP3735 12V/24V 30A MPPT Solar Charge Controller for charging my office. It's got a micro on board so let's open the box and try and get more information out of it.

The board ID reads:

ISC3040MPPT-V2.0
2011-3-28

The stickers read:

ISC-MPPT-V11
ISC3040-V11

Searching for similar keeps bringing up the ProVista Maxi ISC 30. Same plastics but a different colour trim. There's a model range but no mention of monitoring on any.

The CON2 header reads:

SDA  SCL  XRES  G  5V

The CON1 header reads something like:

PCLK  P???  GND  5V  --

CON2 is probably I2C. There's a periodic packet of data clocked at around 82 kHz.

Everything is 5 V which makes hooking it to my favourite 3.3 V STM32 tricky.
