Hello,
Anyone tried to add a small solar panel coupled to a battery pack to power the Gopigo.
What would be the proper solar panel size-power and battery.
Raspberry Pi Model B+ consumption is round 330ma (on 5v) https://www.raspberrypi.org/help/faqs/#powerReqs
I have to add the consumption of the Gopigo controller card, the Wifi dongle, the camera, sensors, GPS (grove) and motors.
Then compute the size of the battery pack and then the solar panel
There are some information there, yet it’s for working 24hours, which is not my intent. From here http://juliansarokin.com/how-to-build-a-solar-powered-raspberry-pi/
If I do a high level evaluation at 5v 600 ma for the Gopigo = that’s 3W
Solar panel 2 times 6W: http://www.voltaicsystems.com/6-watt-panel
And battery pack of 3800 ma on 5V?
Any advices, experience with such setup?
Thanks a lot
JF
