### Using `inverter_poller` binary directly
This project uses heavily modified sources, from [manio's](https://github.com/manio/skymax-demo) original demo, and be compiled to run standalone on Linux, Mac, and Windows (via Cygwin).
Just head to the `sources/inverter-cli` directory and build it directly using: `cmake . && make`.
Basic arguments supported are:
```
USAGE: ./inverter_poller <args> [-r <command>], [-h | --help], [-1 | --run-once]
SUPPORTED ARGUMENTS:
-r <raw-command> TX 'raw' command to the inverter
-h | --help This Help Message
-1 | --run-once Runs one iteration on the inverter, and then exits
-d Additional debugging
```
