    on the LCT4067, I have 4.17 , on the battery, VCC/GND gives 1.608, same on programmer pin. But this is correct with the programmer, so I get I have an issue from the battery circuit voltage transformation.

    on the standard one LTC4079, voltages are correct, 4.17 on Vin/GND, 3.3 on VCC/GND

    z-wave - Vera -> Domoticz
    rfx - Domoticz <- MyDomoAtHome <- Imperihome
    mysensors -> mysensors-gw -> Domoticz

      @epierre It's either the LTC4067, or the voltage regulator. Can you send me the board back?
      I'll repair it and send you back.

        hello fine, also I wanted to try the thermopile so there will be more on return ;-)

        In the meanwhile, how can I have my solar panel on the LTC4079 ? can the lithium charger do the trick ?

        Thanks,

          @epierre I've received the board and repaired it. I had to replace the battery management IC. The LTC4067. The output was fried. I also replaced the voltage regulator while I was at it.

            @ceech thanks a lot, any idea why this would happen ?

            what kind of bluetooth module are you using ? I've managed nothing good with the HC-05, maybe faulty hard to know.

              There are current limiters on input and output side. So short circuit is out of the question. Maybe overvoltage on the input side.
              Yes, that's HC-05. Just use it as a serial monitor. It's the same.

                @ceech for the solar panel and lipo version, could you let me know what type of battery and panel I shoulld buy? Also, is there a tutorial for usage of that version? I am new in solar panel and cahrging batteries. Thanks

                  @nunver The best solar panel is the one with voltages between 5 and 12 volts. And the board is set for a standard 3.7V Li-ion single cell battery. I've just updated the board with a DC-DC buck-boost converter which works below and above battery voltage. There is also plenty of other information on the following page:

                    @ceech what did you use for soldering, I cannot see it myself (sure I have a lot to learn for SMD soldering...

                      @epierre I normally use a reflow oven and in your case I had to use a heat gun.
