Re: Open Source Arduino Alternator Regulator

Have a look at ESP32 Async Webserver

https://github.com/me-no-dev/ESPAsyncWebServer

That package makes serving static or dynamic HTML files pretty easy. Easy to upload a config file too.

Re: Biggest and best Wind Generator?

D400, Super Wind, Silent Wind, Airx with Silent Wind blades in that order.
