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 […]
We have been asked where to find the most current software that has been released for ProjectCuracao. This software is hosted at github. https://github.com/projectcuracao There will be a new release this weekend.
We have been asked to put together tables showing the i2c and GPIO mappings for both the Raspberry Pi and the Arduino Battery Watchdog in Project Curacao. While you can figure it out from the software and comments, it would […]
March 7th, 2014 has been set as the Project Curacao deployment date in Curacao. The box will fly down with us in checked luggage with the batteries removed. We will provide the TSA with a description of the box (it […]
As of today, the current state of the software in Project Curacao is as follows: – Arduino Battery Watchdog: The watchdog is reading and reporting data back to the main software in the Pi via a serial link through level […]
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 latest RasPiConnect configuration file and pictures of all five control screens have been posted on the page https://www.switchdoc.com/raspiconnect/. This should answer some of the questions submitted via email.
As we get closer to system deployment (March 2014), I am running more system level tests. The first of these (the week of November 17-24) revealed the following problems that need to be addressed: – The DHT22 sensor is returning more errors […]
