Inside the solar breeze nx robotic pool surface cleaner from https://solar-breeze.com/
The solar breeze nx robot is a cool tool for keeping the surface of a pool clean! It might be fun to tweak/customize it a bit more so lets see whats inside...
If anyone knows what to plug into the 6 pin off-white connector at the bottom of the board and what software/protocol to use with it please share.
'''Goals:'''
#1 It would be nice to mount a raspberry pi zero in here with wifi to control/interact with the SolarBreeze behaviors remotely. While that would use significantly more battery power, the solar input in southern California is fairly reliable. Perhaps we could schedule the "pi" to only be activate for a short period once per day in case new instructions were needed.
#2 I'd like to set the flashing blue lights to go off after 11pm (or off completely) so that they cause less light pollution here.
#3 I'd like the option to have the unit stop completely at 12pm (midnight), or perhaps some X hours after dark, so that the night time is even more peacefully quiet.
'''Fun Dreams:'''
#1 Camera mount and mail a snapshot once per day to see the water/surface quality while away
'''Notes:'''
Although the screws are a 6 point star, I was able to use a 5/16" hex/allen wrench without any screws stripping.
There seem to be 12 screws (seemingly more than necessary) in order to tightly but evenly clamp down the semi-flexible polymer upon a rubber seal to prevent water intrusion.
