Will it charge the AAA Eneloop battery?
These electronics are salvaged from two garden lights which were supposed to be waterproof and were not. I've merged two into one and replaced the 200 mAh cell with a 1.2 Ah one. Connected both solar panels in parallel to double the current.
It did charge the cell and lit the blue LED when I was carrying it to another room, so it does work!

Every time I achieve a stable and functional system that just works nicely on my machines, part of my brain feels the urge to just try something else. I usually can resist at least for a while...

🥳🎉 Congratulations, startup founders! Now you can spend hours #tinkering with an overcomplicated sales compensation #simulator 🤯 that promises to make you rethink your life choices. Because who doesn't love the thrill of adjusting endless sliders and settings just to pretend they understand how sales work? 💼📈

Design export picture of the new case for the #IMSAI8080 clone called #KneisnerM100. Only have to order the acrylic glas at weekend.

Just to give you an update. After I had nicely soldered new LEDs into the #Imsai8080 clone front panel, it completely stopped working yesterday. So I took advantage of today, Sunday, to desolder all the TTL ICs and replace them with sockets. And you won't believe what I found there. Someone had already tried to repair something there before me. This was evident from the fact that IC 2 was a 74LS type, unlike all the others without LS. And a socket was soldered in for IC 14. In the pictures you can see what was hidden underneath. I think the cut between pin 4 and pin 11 looks intentional, though. But not the missing line to pin 1. I haven't checked what the lines are for in detail. But it certainly doesn't contribute to the function if they aren't connected. It has now been neatly repaired with short wires. And I will get completely new ICs, all standard types. Also I have to check whether it is not a deliberate mod, but IC 2 (first pic) doesn't look like that imho.
