Test rig is ready

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

I have created a simple test rig to test the oncoming batch of 50 AEMLIONs. It applies 1.5V to the solar input and it has LEDs connected to the 3.3V and 1.8V. This basically tests the circuit. It does not have a bed of needles but it simply two 5 pins rows of vertical male headers that are under 15 degree angle. When you push the board between the pins they make contact with the castellated vias.

The package with the 50 AEM10941 ICs shipped with PostNL on 6 Sept still has not arrived at assembler Elecrow. It is stuck since Sept 18th at customs. After a short Chinese holiday Elecrow is working with customs again and try to release the package. I expect It wont take long.
