New Solar Experiment using WRAP Board
I started up my Solar Experiment once again after the VIA board failure. The experiment that I am running is using a WRAP board 2C model with 128 Meg of Memory and 128 Meg CF-Flash card running it off a 12V high cycle battery and solar panels. I am using a 12V power supply. The objective of the experiment is to determine if the WRAP board can run of the 12V high cycle battery for over 24 hours.
Well it is at the 25-hour mark and the WRAP board continues to run off the battery. I will run a benchmark test to determine the length of time the WRAP board runs off the battery. Once that matrix is determined I will repeat the experiment once again, to get an average.
After running a few cycles of the battery I will fully charge the battery and then attach the solar panels. It is the start of spring and the days are known longer. If my calculations are correct I believe I will be able to run this experiment indefinitely even through winter month.
The wrap board is running Locustworld’s build 25 dev 107. It is customized with a video custom portal and is running an 8-dbi antenna with 200 mW 802.11b Senao radio card.
