rail.X : monitoring railroad crossings with electron

Correct. The current is reduced as the battery voltage rises closer to the target charged voltage of 4-4.2v.

The reason the current drops is to prevent the battery voltage from going over the target charged voltage.

@RWB ok, this means that topping a battery on the solar panel will be difficult due to security features and not particularly due to the solar panel output. Thanks for clarification.

Just dropping in to let you all know, that we have over 50 days of non-stop work.

  • over 3000 trains simulated
  • solar powered
  • 1,2 mb / month

… and counting. BTW - we have a 0.3 PCB layout, and we are sending it for printing.
More about all of this here.
