I had help with the dark sensor circuit in my recent thread(s).
Alright I want to use a Lithium charging circuit, to charge the lithium type battery. The battery will probably be a single cell Lipo (4.2Vdc, 3Ah)
I did a little research online, and saw people were using the new TP4056 type charging module. I have 5 of them coming in the mail. It doesn't need to be that module, and if anyone has something better that would be nice.
A Solar cell, panel or whatever would charge the battery, but at night, it stops charging, and the dark sensor turns on the LED or LEDs.
This can probably be done with a single diode.
How do I implement a charging circuit or module into this circuit. My father wants this for his mailbox. He will buy the parts needed, but first I want to make sure I know how the circuit works and put together. The charging part.
It's already done..? I mean.. Isn't it just a matter of hooking the TP4056 up to the solar cell, putting in the diode on the panel or cell, hooking up the LiPo to the TP4056 charging module (1A max), connecting the Dark sensor circuit up to the TP4056 module, and then connecting however many LEDs I need to illuminate the mailbox or whatever I'm trying to light up?
I haven't seen my dad in a few years, and I told him I could make this for him, and I told him that you guys are really smart when it comes to this stuff.
I understand the dark sensor circuit. That's part is solved. I want to hook up a solar cell, or panel, hook up a charging module (whatever), and be done with this, have him buy me the parts so I get started working with this circuit on my solderless breadboard, and present him with the thing that nobody has in this neighborhood. Yes.. many people have the mailbox light, some are brighter than others, but I want ours (his) to be better than everyone else.
It's a long story, but it's personal. Can you guys help me with this last part please? Then I'll post HQ images on here, and we can celebrate.
Also, probably have to put this in a project box or small enclosure from Hammond or whatever. It's going to be used outside. (Snow, Rain, etc.) I'll figure that part out. If you have a suggestion, that would be nice too.
