| + | [title] Adjusting Solar Charger Potentiometer |
|---|---|
| + | [* yellow] Obtain USB power supply, plug into a laptop, and set output to 5.9V |
| + | [* icon_caution] Check the voltage with a voltmeter (you may have to set the power supply to ~5.8V for the voltmeter to read 5.9V) |
| + | [* red] Plug in the green terminal block from the power supply into the Open-Storm board solar port. |
| + | [* light_blue] Confirm the solar charge LED is off. |
| + | [* violet] Plug in a dead battery to the battery port. This step will not work with a charged battery |
| + | [* orange] CAREFULLY turn the silver potentiometer next to the charge controller IC with a small flathead screw driver until the charge light turns on. |
| + | [* icon_caution] Although the screw has a phillip screw head, using a phillip screwdriver may damage the potentiometer. The hole in the center is too shallow for most screwdrivers. It is easier to use a flathead screwdriver! |
