DFRobot Solar Power Manager 5V Help
Hi everyone,
I'm working on a device to monitor the health of a tree and I am using a solar cell along with the DFRobot Solar Power Manager 5V (product page: https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1712.html, wiki page: https://wiki.dfrobot.com/Solar_Power_Manager_5V_SKU__DFR0559) to charge my Lipo battery when it is not at full capacity and when it is at capacity or there's no sun light present, to draw power from the 2Ah 3.7V LiPo battery.
As I understand the power manager doesn't speak to anything so is there any way to code up the solar power manager from my Arduino? I generated some code for the power manager to do this however it says I need to download the library <DFRobot_Solar_Power_Manager.h> to Arduino IDE but I can't seem to find this library anywhere? Does such library exist and how can I control the battery using the manager? I am not sure if the code generated just made up this library on the assumption there would be one.
Thank you in advance! : )
I don't think you need any library. Only following the wiki page shared by Xiao above will be enough.
bidrohini.bidrohiniWhat do you want to control the power manager to do through arduino? Please share your code.Also, the wiki mentions a way to control the power manager via arduino, please check if this is what you want: https://wiki.dfrobot.com/Solar_Power_Manager_5V_SKU__DFR0559?#target_9
