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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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). […]
Yesterday, we installed all the new updates and upgrades to the Raspberry Pi in preparation for the trip to Curacao (we leave at the end of February). When we looked at the power system display this morning, we were surprised […]
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:
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 […]
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 […]
