Update (03/26/14): The Wind Turbine was deployed down in Curacao two weeks ago. The actual data from the Turbine matched this article quite well. About 60-90ma at 15 MPH. Not much (and not nearly enough to run the box – […]
We have made one more addition to the hardware on Project Curacao. We have added a BM017 / TCS34725 RGBC color sensor to the device. Here is the device attached to the back of the top of the box and […]
This past weekend we did the loaded testing for the two potential configurations for the wind turbines for Project Curacao. Two 15W Wind Turbine Configuration We first tested a two 15W Wind Turbine configuration. Our guess is that we could get […]
Here is a screen shot of RasPiConnect capturing the wind storm that came through last weekend. We had the 15W Wind Turbine hooked up and reporting through the Project Curacao software. It was fortuitous that the wind storm came through. […]
Update (03/26/2014): We have finished the characterization and deployed the $80 50W wind turbine. The model and characterization was close. See the blog posting about the 50W Loaded Characterization and the Project Curacao Operational Blog posting) We decided a while […]
Bootloader Issues with Arduino Mega 2560 If you are interested in using Solar Power on the Arduino, check out SunAir. Hit a significant roadblock on the Battery Watchdog last week. During one development session, the Arduino Mega 2560 we are […]
The MouseAir software is pretty simple. At least compared to the code for ProjectCuracao (that ran to over 10,000 lines of code). There are two main pieces of software. First is the MouseAir.py program. It consists of about 1000 […]
Measuring negative currents with the INA219 Note: These INA219 devices have been replaced by our 3 Channel INA3221 board. We read somewhere that the Adafruit C++ library has a bug in the INA219 High Side current measuring device library so […]
