Light Sensor Project Update
The 6V Solar Panel that I ordered was not available, so I have made a few changes to the design to work with a 5V Solar Panel.
I replaced the MOSFET with a logic level MOSFET that will work with the lower voltage.
This design will fit inside a PACTEC CNM-0000 plastic enclosure. (see attached)
I have also added an alternate design that uses a photo resistive sensor and requires a 3 wire connection.
Both designs should be fully compatible with X10 dimmers.
I have laid out a printed circuit board using ExpressPCB software and ordered 3 boards.
Each board will have 2 each of the above mentioned designs for a total of 6 each boards on my order.
The boards will not arrive until 11/28/11.
I'm attaching a schematic of each design and will send a copy of the ExpressPCB files to anyone that provides an email address (send me a PM)
However you may wish to wait for my final progress report on the project. At $65 per order, I don't plan on ordering more boards at this time.
I need to pull the schematics due to some design problems but I will re-post them once the problems are resolved.
