open source / hardware renewable energy projects
I’m excited, pleased and proud to announce that I’ve been awarded money from UnLtd!
The money will go to pay for the development of the modular bike charge controller and the open charge controller project, which will make it easier for us DIY green hackers to create renewable energy systems.
I’ve been trying to make sense of all the different options for measuring current in a circuit. I’ve started a page on the wiki here.
I did a full test of the solar irrigation project yesterday. Everything worked well apart from the voltage sensing. This was easily fixed with a different sized resistor. Now we’re just waiting for the plumbing to be fixed and we can install!
