Your Eval Kit can be powered from an external power source or USB-C
if the user is not wanting to run off of the provided solar panel. This can
be useful for low light conditions or extended uninterrupted testing.
An additional pass-through is available in the Eval Kit enclosure cable
gland.
Removing the solar panel leads from the green screw terminal block,
and replace with a DC power supply.
This input will charge the Eval Kit batteries, and is optimized for an
18V-24V input.
The OLED display will then report the INA3221 reading of the
external power input as “SOL: xx xx”
*Note: No jumper changes are required for external power input
