When I’m building Solar Shrubs and other solar-powered creations, I often scavenge cells from various off-the-shelf devices such as solar garden or security lights. But these cells are rarely labeled as to their voltage, current, and power output. So it’s off to my bread-boarding station. First, I put each cell under a lamp and connect it to my multimeter to get […]
This instructable is a basic version of Bley Joel’s (“It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in”) Solar Shield, and it should work for most arduinos. I’ve tested it with SparkFun’s Arduino Pro, and the new Leonardo. Myself and the other Solar Pocketeers* are actually waiting for a new set of PCBs

This page maintains the necessary documentation (hardware & software) for recreating the Solar Hardware Module (“Solar Module”) using either Arduino UNO or TI Launchpad. Prior to creating the solar module, we performed several experiments using a custom built solar panel fixture. For more information on the solar panel fixture, see link below. Solar Panel Fixture
