It can control them because most are run by i2c or spi. The problem comes in
in the special power requirements. You will have to change the voltage to run
most of them. And that takes electronics which is not hard to do and the parts
are minimal but it does take some electronic knowledge.

Hi Ken,
Many thanks. Can't the pi do the processing and drive the cells instead of
having a dedicated board?
