Work is progressing steadily and today I am creating the Bill of Materials (BOM) for the modified PCB after which, assuming all works as expected, the final assembly will be carried out during which I intend creating a video showing all the steps necessary for construction of the final Unit. For this purpose I have already purchased a couple of the 'Solar Powered Garden Lights' that provide the core features of Solar Panel, Battery and Waterproof Housing that are essential for this Project. These units are available from Amazon or possibly directly from the Manufacturer. Gerbers for the PCB will be put on GitHub in due course together with links to firmware when the latter has finally been proven.

I hope to add a short video before the deadline for this Stage. As I'm in the GMT Zone and the Organisers are in the PDT time zone then I might just have sufficient daylight tomorrow morning for my iPad to earn its keep! Watch this space.
