Logging Solar Nightlight Charging Patterns using @AdafruitIO #IoTuesday
During the process of looking into the circuit found in most garden solar night lights, tardate needed a way to log the voltage every five minutes, to “get a sense of the overnight discharge/recharge pattern”.
They found Adafruit IO as an experimental platform and were quickly experimenting with triggering alerts for when the circuit detected high/low. Tardate found that using Adafruit IO was a simple solution – even compared to a SD card:
Literally took me 10 minutes from signing up at Adafruit to when I had data streaming into a feed. Doing more research on how it worked and writing my notes took far longer;-)
