good advice, the short circuit current is proportional to the amount of sunlight that hits the panel. so the best way to measure is to connect a resistor to the wires and measure the voltage drop. if the panel is small you can just connect a number of 15 ohm "1/4W" resistors in parallel to get low e...

my suggestion is to take 30 measurements, sort them from lowest to highest, throw away the ten lowest and the ten highest readings and average the remaining ten readings.

I use pin headers soldered to the board, and jumpers male-female or female-female, like these (google LS-MFPJ-6). using solder connections is the most reliable way, and it is quite fast to cut stranded wire, remove a few mm of the insulation and solder the wire to the board (directly into a hole or ...

thank you pythoncoder and dhylands, now the project is moving forward again. I got the frequency is smoothly controlled by turning the potentiometer. no dropped pulses as far as I can see, and relatively low jitter, the jitter is mostly due noise on the ADC I think. I will spend some time during the...

I am trying to figure out how to write simple program that can handle this task: -generate pulses at a certain frequency from a digital output -read an analog input (eg. the voltage from a potentiometer) -adjust the frequency of the output continuously according to the voltage reading (potentiometer...
