Status:
Today the solar test is still running. I was able to manually take a photo to see that the charge light is on. Need to get Mission Control rebuilt so I can get status photos. Weekend Job.
Thing about:
How can I measure the battery’s voltage while it’s being charged? I guess I will test that with the Sandbox unit.
Learned:
Not much sunlight in the backyard this time of year. I hope the battery will charge enough to keep it running. Measuring the voltage would be good to shut down the Pi, thus allowing more power for charging.
Still to Do:
Edit existing blog content. (complete)Bench Test: Solar test project. (complete)- Field Test: Solar test project (in progress)
- Rebuild and update Knowledge Base.
- Bench Test: Sensors
- Field Test Sensors
- Bench Test: Small rover platform
- Field Test: Small rover platform
