The other I&amp;#39;ve been programming myself, and have been unable to replicate the beacon firmware. With a multimeter hooked up, I can see that it&amp;#39;s never quite managing to start up. The manual is admirably detailed but is missing some key parts like the clock settings pane from the GUI.</description></item><item><title /><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/energy-harvesting/b/blog/posts/revisiting-the-cypress-s6sae101a00sa1002-solar-powered-iot-device-kit?CommentId=dd400b5c-9c23-42c5-b7ed-d2dfdad75acb</link><pubDate>Fri, 29 May 2026 17:06:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:dd400b5c-9c23-42c5-b7ed-d2dfdad75acb</guid><dc:creator>BigG</dc:creator><description>It should definitely work as a beacon or broadcaster under solar power.

Regarding the jumper: I&amp;#39;ve done that part successfully, so my LED blinker program works from the solar cell (allowing for early brown out). When I try BLE transmission however, I can only get that working with USB power. The current from the solar cell isn&amp;#39;t sufficient. I think I&amp;#39;m failing to enact a low-poeer startup properly, so the various clocks etc are causing large current spikes before the program ever enters main().</description></item><item><title /><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/energy-harvesting/b/blog/posts/revisiting-the-cypress-s6sae101a00sa1002-solar-powered-iot-device-kit?CommentId=e4107d47-83b7-42f8-9c29-e90ff5023f0b</link><pubDate>Fri, 29 May 2026 15:18:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:e4107d47-83b7-42f8-9c29-e90ff5023f0b</guid><dc:creator>BigG</dc:creator><description>It certainly is a long shot.

The kit is now obsolete, so the examples aren&amp;#39;t available from the company, and I am trying to get it working. I can program it to run things when USB-powered, but I am struggling to get things to run off the solar cell (except a simple LED blinker program). Having the examples to consult would be a bit help, so if you are able to send me them, please may you?</description></item><item><title>File: תאריאל קפאנאדזה 4.8 קילוואט מחולל לאנרגיה חופשית [2015]</title><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/energy-harvesting/m/managed-videos/149215</link><pubDate>Sun, 24 Mar 2024 10:29:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:02f43089-a87c-456b-9051-9a617c3b664c</guid><dc:creator>element14 Community</dc:creator><description>:תרשים בלוקים https://i.imgur.com/xsAZa9s.jpg מכשיר אנרגיה חופשית - תרשים חסימות https://i.imgur.com/2jbIAc4.jpg .... בהתקנים אלה ודומים, המרכיב הנוכחי מוגבר בדרך כלל בפלט&amp;#39; מהפך על פי עיקרון קיבולי על ידי העברה והסבה של דחפים עוצמתי וקצר מאוד כוח ...</description></item><item><title>File: Pentagon releases 'UFO' videos taken by U.S. Navy pilots</title><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/energy-harvesting/m/managed-videos/149214</link><pubDate>Sat, 23 Mar 2024 19:52:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:3569dbcf-d881-473e-9935-abb96526078e</guid><dc:creator>x_name41</dc:creator><description>Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@Rappler/ More videos on Rappler: https://www.rappler.com/video Follow Rappler for the latest news in the Philippines and across the globe.
