Step 19) Turn the switch on top of the SunAirPlus (Part AD) board to the Left to turn OFF the board.
Step 20) Plug your 3.7V LiPo battery (not included) into the Battery JST2 Plug on SunAirPlus (Part AD).
Step 21) Turn the switch on top of the SunAirPlus Board (Part AD) to the right to turn ON the system. Unless
your battery is discharged, you should see LEDs come on on the SunAirPlus board (Part AD) and the Mini Pro
LP Board (Part AB). If you expose the Solar Panels (Parts AE) to a bright light, you should see a red LED on
the SunAirPlus (Part AD) that indicates the board is charging.
When you turn it on, WXLink will start broadcasting about every 30 secondsNow we need to do some testing.
SkyWeather Solar WXLink Initial Testing
SkyWeather Solar WXLink operations again are similar to the full kit. The Solar WXLink allows you to mount
the AM2315 and the WeatherRack sensors in a remote location from your Raspberry Pi. While the Solar
WXLink only contains solar panels and a SunAIrPlus controller for the WeatherRack and AM2315. This
means that these devices are not read from the local unit and will instead be read from the WXLink. If
SkyWeather detects the WXLink then it will read the data from there. Note that the startup of reading the
WXLink can take some time (even minutes) before it will start reading. A quick way of testing the WXLink
(obviously after you have assembled it) is to run the testWXLink.py program located in the
SDL_Pi_SkyWeather main directory.
cd SDL_Pi_SkyWeather
sudo python testWXLink.py
