使用说明

  1. 插入电源,等待亮灯,在联网和不联网状态下都会在几秒后进入灯效循环播放,直到收到新的灯效指令。

  2. 根据灯的颜色指示,判断当前状态

    1. 亮红色说明没有未配置网络,需要按照 步骤 3 进行配置
    2. 亮紫色说明已经配网,正在连接,只需等待连接完成变成淡蓝色即可
  3. 配网步骤:

    1. 打开 RainMaker APP
    2. 点击添加设备按钮
    3. 扫描下面的二维码
  4. 选择想要连接的 WiFi

  5. 输入对应 WiFi 的密码

  6. 点击开始按钮

硬件说明

  • 供电输入:12V - 2A
  • LED 灯数量:208 * 2
  • 摩天轮坐舱数量:16
  • 模型比例:1:100

灯颜色指示

  1. 亮红色:未配网,等待配网
  2. 亮紫色:正在联网
  3. 亮蓝色:已联网,等待连接云端
  4. 亮淡蓝色:已连接云端,可正常使用

重置设备方法

当你需要换一个 WiFi 连接或者不要联网的时候需要重置设备。

方法:插上电源等待亮灯一秒后拔掉电源,熄灭后再次插上电源,再次等待亮灯一秒后拔掉电源,如此反复5次后插上电源不再拔掉等待灯变成红色即重置成功。

Questions

How big is the Solar Tracer PCB?

It measures 40 × 61 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Solar Tracer use?

58 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8, AT8236, QMC5883L and TX4137. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Solar Tracer KiCad files?

From the TDA-2030/Solar-Tracer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/solar_tracer.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/Power.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Solar Tracer design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask TDA-2030 before reusing the design.
