Nano 33 IoT: Testing with solar power and BQ25185
•
My objective was to build a battery powered environment monitoring station using an Arduino. It might be an outdoor weather station tracking temperature, pressure and humidity or something to track indoor temperatures. Long battery life was a primary concern. In a previous article, I investigated how to minimise power demand and select the best combination of batteries (see my earlier article Nano 33 IoT Testing Battery Options and Low Power Mode). The final step, described here,…

Nano 33 IoT: Testing battery options and low power mode
•
In this article, I will describe my attempts to minimise power demand in the Arduino Nano 33 IoT and select the best combination of batteries to use. My objective was to build a battery powered environment monitoring station using an Arduino. This might be an outdoor weather station tracking temperature, pressure and humidity or something to track indoor temperatures. Long battery life was a primary concern, but it also had to be compatible with various sensors.…
