Waiting for REV01 Boards

A project log for Solar Solenoid Controller - WellWatch

Welcome to the most painfully niche thing I've created.

I was hoping to submit this project for the Green Powered Challenge. DHL says boards will arrive on the 24th, I work best under a time crunch (completely intentional of course). I'm holding out hope that boards will arrive early.

In the mean time I've been plugging away on the main documentation for WellWatch.

I also got a pair of SP11 connectors (blue capped panel mount connectors on side of enclosure) that should work nicely for connecting the solenoid and float switch to enclousre while remaining water tight. The elephant in the room is the solar cell. Either I drill holes to pass the power through, or I put the solar cell inside the container (it has a clear cover).

Seems like this is future me's problem ;)
