Testing the Eflite 120mAh battery with a minimal jeenode
Posted on June 17, 2011 | 4 CommentsI want to build some small wireless sensor nodes that run off small LiPo batteries and use small solar cells to charge the battery. I found some small LiPo batteries... -
Reading Lipo Voltage
Posted on June 15, 2011 | 1 CommentI’m testing a mini LiPo battery to see how long it will power a Jeenode. I bought this battery: It is listed as a 3.7V, 120mAh 1S 14C LiPo battery.... -
Reading the ARSSI pin on the Si4221/HopeRF 12B
Posted on June 14, 2011 | 2 CommentsThe Si4221 has a digital received signal strength indicator (RSSI). You can set a threshold in the configuration and the pin will go low when that threshold has been broken....
