<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I am looking for some advice or tips.
Here is my project,
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I want to run my Dorkboard on solor
power. Don is setting me up with a 3 volt chip. That will help a
lot. I am going to model the control after the Solorbotics voltage
trigger; solor energy is stored in caps then dumped into the
Dorkboard when a critical voltage is reached.
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">So my question for the ether is, what
size caps? How much power needs to be stored to run the Dorkboard?
No motor function, just to blink the light. I know how much to run
the motors that will be on a separate circuit.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Ok go nuts folks.
