Greetings,
Just starting out with the OurWeather kit. Assembled the kit and the sensors and everything seem to work fine.
Problem appears when trying to change from wall plug to SunAirPlus solar + battery. Attached picture of wiring for confirmation I haven't messed any of that up.
When it's wired for the solar lights are on for all three boards (WeatherPlus, SunAirPlus, USBPower Ctrl) but the WeatherPlus doesn't boot. If I add USB power to the SunAirPlus, the WeatherPlus seems to power cycle repeatedly. Lights flash and the LED Screen flashes the OurWeather logo. If I plug usb power into the WeatherPlus it boots fine and I see a Solar Info Page on the LED Screen that seems to show battery is charged and solar is generating power.
Any ideas what I should do to troubleshoot further? Could I have a bad board? TIA.
