Do you have an image on how to attach the solar board, battery, solar panel to the BC24?
Thanks

Working on it now for the new Solar Power Night Light Kit. I'll be finishing this up tomorrow and posting a blog on www.switchdoc.comAnd when I say "I'll" I mean that John gets to finish the manual! BP |

I was wanting to know it mine is perhaps wired correctly. Not able to get the battery to charge. LED is always showing yellow.

Battery and panels are plugged in. However, a couple of questions.
1) What is the Battery? It looks like it is on some card. We have no idea if something on that card is interfering with the charger.
2) Solar panels require a lot of sun to charge a battery. Check the voltage on the solar panel. To get a good charge you should see above 5.V. Check the battery voltage too.
Do you have the USB Control port plugged into the Serial port on the BC24? That's not going to work.

The battery is RPi 3800mah battery
2. I'll see what kind of voltage is being returned.

Again, we don't know anything about that board and something may be interfering with our charger chip. Do you have a link about that board and I'll take a look at it.
