I learned a lot putting together the Solar SPEC unit for the Heat Is On Challenge. I still have some work to do finishing the SPEC unit, but I've also thought of some other solar related projects to work on. 1) VI Curve tracer - this is ac...
We're at the last day of the Heat is On Challenge. Here is the initial block diagram of my project:I've implemented all of the hardware elements with the exception of only implementing a single temperature sensor and changing the sensor type to ...
Finally the Arduino UNO was replaced by a Arduino Nano for the final tests. The Ultimate Block Diagram Final SimpleSolar BOT Finally Update The final video of the SolarBot in Action. Due to lack of sunlight...
I've updated the 8266 program to change the temperature sensor from the DHT22 to the 18B20. It was a straightforward change using the OneWire and DallasTemperature libraries. Initially nothing was working, but then I realized that I had f...
I've completed the build of my SPEC unit.1) Added terminal block for external temperature sensor2) Added 18B20 temperature probe3) Added power switch4) Added power indicator LED5) Adapted Solar Cell wiring to micro USB for 8266 Thing power input ...
