Unpacking.

First problem Philips head screws are a weird size, I had to go through one of my multi-bit sets to find one that fits.

Now we can start the wiring.

Looks like the panel has a regulator with two USB outputs and the unregulated 12/24V is a male DV plug.

Wiring the bits and then test it out on the wi-fi chicken feeder.

Sunlight coming through the four skylights providing enough voltage to test the system.

Testing the USB outputs with a USB fan.

I’ll be back.
