I didn’t go into the calculations, just have been constantly scaling up until it starts working
The tomo didn’t arrive. I’ll get both the 2x and 4x version however in the meantime I’ve just received my new Xiaomi 20000mah Power Bank:
Took 7 hours to charge but now ready for some experiments. It also accepts pass-trough however when a power source is detected there is a little interruption which causes the Xiaomi camera to restart itself.
As for solar panel, yes they are probably also underscaled.
I have 2x 21W (anyway cannot connect both at the same time or do a serial mount, there is again probably an adapter or something which allows to connect 2 usb power source to have 1 output with more power but didn’t look at that yet).
This is what i’m using:
By themselves one of them is enough to power the Xiaomi cam (of course when they are on sun :))
YZX models are very good (but expensive) I have two models of USB meter much cheaper not as full featured but enought for my usage but I plan to buy a YZX
But for the price you may want to go for this 42W model https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B01KVDOL7I?psc=1 that will ensure you to get better charging with bad weather condition
Yes but before going for a bigger version of the solar panel I first need to find the proper place for it
It’s really not optimal right now since it’s never on full sun. It’s still charging but it’s why I really need a usb multimeter to be able to make some measures at this stage.
sure the panel’s location is definitly the wrong place but the bigger solar panel you’ll have to more “loss” you can afford not being full sun optimal exposure.
