Project Curacao has now been down in the Caribbean for two weeks now. We’ve had some issues but they have been resolved. We are writing an article for MagPi magazine describing all of our issues with the box and the […]
Today was the big day. We mounted the Project Curacao wind turbine (here on Amazon) and the box up on the tower. March 13, 2014. It’s running fine. You can see the graphs and latest picture on https://www.milocreek.com/projectcuracaographs. Thank you […]
As we ramp up to the last few weeks before deployment, our last task is to put Project Curacao in the final box. Here is the NEMA enclosure purchased on Amazon (BUD Industries NBB-15253 Style B Plastic Outdoor NEMA Box […]
One of the things we are using the Raspberry Pi on Project Curacao for is to generate graphs. Yes, We know we could ship the data to another server and generate the graphs there, but since we have a nice […]
We are approaching the final testing deadline (February 1st). As of today (01/22/14), the current state of the software in Project Curacao is as follows: – Arduino Battery Watchdog: Control of the wind turbine (selection between solar and turbine). […]
The folks over at Milocreek.com (Authors of the RasPiConnect App) asked us to put together a short video of Project Curacao focusing on the control panel (done in RasPiConnect).Here it is:
We are now doing system testing on the control software. We have tested battery voltage shutdowns/startups, watchdog shutdown/startups, and alarm based shutdowns/startups. Next, we have to test the deadman switch and add the 15W Wind Turbine. Then the final testing […]
