With sunny days ahead, we're working on more solar projects. One thing that comes up often is we need is a diode to keep the PV panel current only flowing into a charging circuit. Often times folks use a Schottky diode (https://www.digikey.com/short/b5d8495f) for their low forward voltage. But as you get to an Amp or more, you're still looking at a loss of 0.5V, or 0.5W and that number only goes u...

For our solar-capable Feathers, we're going to design a FeatherWing helper board to assist with solar connection and monitoring. To do that, we will want to monitor two voltages (the LiPoly battery and the solar panel) and one current (the panel draw). Traditionally, we've liked using the INA219 and friends—let's see if we can find a voltage/current monitor chip with an I2C interface and at least...

We're back building—testing sensors, finishing the Sparkle Motion Stick, and designing a solar-ready FeatherWing for dual-voltage monitoring. Tune in & explore with us!

Over the holiday break, we designed a few Sparkle Motion (https://www.adafruit.com/search?q=sparkle+motion) ESP32 boards for use with WLED. They’ve been working well, so we decided to finish up the third version we cooked up—a USB “stick” for quick builds that you can power from a wall adapter, computer, or even a USB battery pack for portability. We managed to fit in a fuse, an I²S microphone, in...
