Configuration

The SP (Solar-Panel) board provides physical support for a range of solar panels—80×35 (5.5V 70mA), 67.2×34.7 (5V 60mA), 60×44 (5V 50mA) or one or two 57×28 (5.5V 40mA) panels. Unfortunately, in checking the references for the aforementioned solar panels, I discovered that there are several configurations of the 60mA unit, each with a different location for the connectors on the back and none of which, other than the ones specifically noted above (see hyperlink), are compatible with the holes I have created for access on the present board.

Board Stacking

The 10068-SP board is designed to be used in a 'stack' configuration with an appropriate processor board.
