@m26872 said in Encapsulated transformers instead of traditional switching power supplies like Hi-Link:
for me the sunny season is too short.
I havn't yet tried to use solar batteries in winter so maybe I have the same problems (despite the fact that I'm living 3 degrees south of you), but I have backup solution for very cloudy winter days - regular battery charger.
Nice, thank you for sharing.
Not very surprised about the use of running speed and cadence profile as there is no profile for voltage reporting (battery service can only report a percentage).
Thank you @scalz! That did the trick. Finally I can debug the code with readable serial feedback.
Ok @AWI so the example code is probably in need for some adjustments. Its kinda hard for a beginner like myself to learn the basics if also the example code suffers from questionable functionality. Or perhaps the functionality is ok but the code by itself is not clear enough to educate the masses.
I'm still having trouble understanding whats really happening when using the sleep() call. In my newest revision I'm not passing any interrupt conditions other than a time variable but still its obvious that the sleep is interrupted by the interrupt defined in the setup section. And as such, perhaps also some timer functionality is running while in a MySensors sleep.
Perhaps the API description is in need for some additional clarification.
Note: I've also deleted the attach and detach calls from the loop() section as this is probably handled by the sleep function (or other hidden code).
