Note: As of December 28th, 2019, we have experienced a power outage on Project Curacao3. We noticed that it went down during a very windy day and we strongly suspect that a wire has come loose inside the Solar Power box. We noticed an issue when we were down there and thought we had fixed it! Part of the rational is that the system abruptly turned off during a period of good solar power with a well charged battery. If it had been the charging system, the battery would have kept the machine alive. However, a disconnected battery, even with sun, will take the system down immediately, which is what happened we think. Unfortunately, we will not have a technical visitor at the Curacao site until the end of January. We will also have install a redundant power supply. :) A picture of the moment of death is above. 0400 pacific time is 0800 Curacao time. Due to our excellent reliability data of the Raspberry Pi based system, all of this data seems to fit this loose connection hypothesis. #projectcuracao3 #makersgonnamake #weather #science #switchdoclabs #solar (at Curaçao) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6qj0MbHfU7/?igshid=5j7vz67acmz7
