Hi Rob, No problem. I have my well-functioning PIC project with a wired connection to the battery charger, and I can then use that to apply the partial charge. Connecting it to the D1 was a laborious (but instructive) adventure of patching and trial and error. So, for me, the only profit would be replacing the wires with Wi-Fi. As my wife keeps saying, "You're still having fun with it," so, well, give me the JAL anyway. Best, Hans
