Wind Sensors for the anemometer are finally arrived. Since there didn’t remain too much time from this weekend, I decided just to start with the preparations to the complete experiment and was ready to stop at any point. With some interrupts for playing with kids and for other family stuff…
Reviewed by Editor: Jack Allison Experiment Goal: To enable the following features: – Increase current by adding of additional solar panels – Reading and reporting of battery voltage so that the value may be tracked over time Components: – Raspberry Pi Model A+ – EDIMAX Wi-Fi Adatper (EW-7811Un) – (2x) WN-11 1W…
Reviewed by Editor: Jack Allison Step-by-step Connect your I2C device Enable i2c. sudo raspi-config Use menu option ‘Advanced Options\I2C’ to allow I2C kernel module to be loaded automatically Add i2c modules to configuration Add a line with ‘i2c-dev’ at /etc/modules sudo nano /etc/modules snd-bcm2835 i2c-dev Exclude i2c from the black list.…
Yesterday evening one more array 4×1.2V rechargeable batteries (accumulators of 3000m A/h) was added in parallel to existing identical 4×1.2V battery-array. This kept the RPi alive 10 more hours so that we have the device living about 20 hours total. But this is not enough. The goal is several months or…
Video_01_ENG Video_02_ENG Video_03_ENG Video_04_ENG Experiment Goal: To enable the following features: – auto-reporting of keep-alive starting at power-up – creation of a prototype of potentially ALWAYS-RUNNING RPi powered from batteries that are recharged from solar energy This will allow future stand-alone GREEN projects Experiment Description: TBD Components: – 1 Small Solar Panel producing about…
VIDEO[HEB] Experiment Goal: To enable data transmission via RS485 between PC and RPi Components: – 2x PL2303HX Chip USB to RS485 485 Converter Adapter (ebay) Description:
In the time I’m updating my Getting Started pages and connected RPi to power for just making short command line experiments to make sure what I’m typing is correct, it successfully overheat and burned out 🙁 Need to note that the heat-sink solution is still on its way to me from…
