I'm trying to build my solar system with the raspberry pi, I bought the boards and connect them together and everything was fine, but I have couple of question, but before I start this is a quick pref about my system: 1-raspberry pi 3. 2-Suncontrol from switch lab. 3- Solar Panel - 330mA / 6V " shop.switchdoc.com/collections/solar/products/solar-panel-330ma-6v" 4-lipo 3.7v battery 1800mah "https://www.amazon.com/Lithium-Rechargeable-connector-Atomic-Market/dp/B07534KW8T/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1516526559&sr=8-1&keywords=lipo+3.7v+battery+1800mah" so, when I run the test "testSun" it show me: 1-lipo_battery load voltage: 0v, lipo_battery current: 0ma 2-solar cell current: 0ma, so, when the script switch from off to on or vise versa, nothing happen!! My questions as following: 1- is it normal to give me this output result? why it show me the battery is zero volt!! 2-why it's not open the USB port when I run the test script? this question not related to the sun control : 3-how to calculate the charging time for the battery? hope anyone can help me with!!

RaspiTester,
Something isn't connected or turned on.
Post a picture of how you have things connected. Check your connections carefully and make sure it is wired together correctly.
Post the exact text generated by testSun
Run "i2cdetect -y 1" and post the results.
3 - Charging Time? Completely depends on how you are charging it. Run an experiment and time it is probably the best way. Best regards, BP
