Presentation Transcript

1. Solar Energy Generator: Design Rendering Description Prototype system will be mounted in a pelican case with battery and other peripherals. Laser Cut Delrin Panel will cover all electronics and have display, buttons and a rotary encoder mounted to it. All front panel electronics will connect to the main PCB via a wiring harness with 0.1 header pin connectors. Future iterations will use JST connectors. Souriau UTS circular connectors allow sealed external connections to loads and sources.

4. Port Connections Souriau UTS 8 Pin connectors Ports A and B: Solar Panel Input, Battery Voltage output Ports C and D: Regulated 5V output, Battery Voltage output All connectors share the same body, but different pin locations are populated depending on function. Connection something to the wrong port wont cause any damage. Each port Contains locations for Panel+, Panel-, Battery V+, Regulated V+, GND, Control, and pins for future expansion with sensors and digital communication.
