Please log in for more thread options Tom Biasi John Fields Peter Bennet Bob Monsen for their positive input, ansswers, and suggestions as I've been aksing, and learnign, about how to do my solar garden light project. Their kind assistance got me going in the right direction, providing suggestions fro search engines, suggestions for types of parts, formulae, and so on, which allowed me to learn, and do more research based upon that learning. I'm making up my parts list, organizing what parts I'll get from which suppliers, and working on my circuit layouts, in preparation for building the prototype. I don't think I would have been able to get to this stage without their suggestions and answers and input. THanks! - Kris | |||||||||||||

I noted my current project-stage in a reply to Tom - we'll see how it all works out ;) - Kris | |||||||||||||

Although I'm certainly never going to be an EE or E-Designer, I was able to use all the helpful info as a foundation upon which I could build further knowledge. I still could not do all the math (backwards OR forwards!) to design the sorts of circuits I found on the components- producers' websites, but I'd submitted queries to Maxim, and they actually took the time to write back to me with good input regarding my ideas for linking their application-circuit schematics to do what I want to do. So I'm finalizing my part list, an dorganizing it in a spreadsheet (so I can group the parts - e.g. all the capacitors, than all the inductors, and so on) along with an ID for the application note(s), datasheet(s), or design note(s) that reference a certain part. Then I'm going to DigiKey and Mouser (recommended by Maxim as reliable/quality components suppliers). After that, thh boards become the next step, which will be interesting, almost like doing traffic analysis, or a 3D model of the Taj Mahal or something similar. So I'll probably like that part ;) Lastly, the "proof of the pudding" - turn the thing on and see whether it lights up. Seriously, I doubt I could have gotten even to this stage without the constructive input provided by you guys. I know I've been doing the "quick'n'dirty shortcut" approach, as opposed to a methodological general study, but if I have success with this, I'm thinking of perhaps going back to actually pursue a more methodological study. SO, off I go. If htis thing actually works <g!> , I'll report abck and
maybe even try to post some photos.
Thanks again! - kris | |||||||||||||
