\section{Attiny Solar Energy Harvest Tests}}
|
|
|
|
I have the following:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Solar panels
|
|
\item Attiny 10
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
To this list, I will add a supercap, and an energy harvesting IC. The goal being to load the super cap during the day, and to run 24/7. I will need an exceptionally low power micro. The super cap will need to be about 3.3V or 5V.

\subsection{Micro Considerations}}
|
|
The Arduino Atmega328P is not an option. I'm looking to have a current draw of only 1mA max, (ideally 500uA) when active. Moteino is also not an option for this. Those are made for batteries. I want to be battery free. A super cap, however can be used to store energy. I'll get to that shortly.
|
|
|
|
For micros, I have some Attiny10 on hand, and these have a reasonably low power pull in active mode. Let's build those up first. What will the micro do? No idea. I haven't a clue.

\subsection{Energy Storage}}
|
|
I don't want a battery. Let's go with a super cap. The solar panels will only be active some of the time, so I will want to harvest energy with some kind of IC into the cap when the sun is out.\footnote{Reference: www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/technical-articles/solarenergyharvesting.pdf is a start. I'll need to do more research.}

\subsection{Make parts, not scrap}}
|
|
I will want to make sure that all parts I build are perf board parts, not breadboard scrap (to be torn down and rebuilt again). This is an Attiny, so no need to test much, yet.
