Generator Auto Start

I was doing a bit of testing to work out the generator Autostart, the control signal comes from the Victron color control unit, once a set of parameters are reached a contact closes to start the generator.

i am using a Cummins Onan QD5000 diesel generator, so i needed to build a simple timing interface to enable the control of the generator.

the picture shows the generator with the lid off.
