Does anyone have recommendations and/or best practices for integrating a solar panel with the Muon board?
Looking for any advice on solar panel specs, connection methods, and other considerations for optimizing power management.
This one:
Just in case: @erik.fasnacht
The VIN on the Muon is loosely connected to the bq24195 PMIC on the power module and does not have a secondary power supply like the Tracker One and Monitor One. Thus the input voltage recommended is a recommended maximum of 12 and an absolute maximum of 15.
Thus powering it from solar is most like the Electron and E-Series. Also, the power consumption at idle on Gen 4 (RTL872x) is more like Gen 2 (STM32) not Gen 3 (nRF52).
