| + | * We've figured out the why the board is reading "odd" solar test voltage. | ||
| + | * The output of the charging circuit is soldered to the VCC input of the board, which the solar test voltage is reading from | ||
| + | * As far as the board is concerned, the solar test voltage should be reading half of the voltage from the battery (voltage divider connection) | ||
| + | * We've emailed Dr. Garmire about the roof top access. Waiting for his reply. | ||
| + | Update: 9/15 | ||
| + | * Battery voltage reading from the solar test pin is actually correct | ||
| + | * The value is multiplied by 2 in the code when transmitted to the gateway | ||
| + | * Tested sensor data values: Humidity, Temp., Solar Irradiance, Pressure | ||
| + | * Ready to for deployment test next week | ||
| + | * We just need to find our solar panels | ||
