I have build a simple test rig

A project log for Solar harvesting into Li-ion battery

This is a 0.8x0.6 inch board with AEM10941 solar harvesting IC charging a Lithium Ion battery

Recently I ordered 50x PCB assemblies from Elecrow that i want to sell on tindie,  but I need a testrig for it. I quickly made one with prototype board, 0.1" headers, a battery, a capacitor, some leds and resistors.

I just press the board-under-test between the two rows of angled male headers, and then the solar input gets 1.5V from the battery and the LEDs indicate the 3.3 and 1.8V outputs work. Basic functionality checked!
