Hi,
I have the older SunAir Plus, watchdog, USB control, and i think one of those INA3221 boards.
From what i gather i can use the SunControl board i have in place of all of those.
I have 2x 6000mAh LiPo batteries, would be nice to be able to use both as im guessing this Pi 3B+ based SkyWeather is going to use a bit of power.
My main question here is that i bought this solar panel a couple years back in hopes to use it for a project like this.
From what i read the board is limited to 6V input and this lists 18V so, is there a way i can safely connect it or am i better getting a number of smaller panels to connect in series?
main details are:
