Current Situation

Our Baby Birds will live in an enclosed birdhouse. They will need an independent power supply that can power them and (hopefully) the solenoid valve identified in #11.

Ideally we'd be able to achieve the goals below.

Goals

  • Identify a power supply that can provide constant power to the Baby Bird (Particle Xenon) and occasional (at most daily for ~20 minutes) power to the solenoid valve identified in Activate/deactivate solenoid valve to water the planter box #11. (Some type of battery)
  • Identify a solar panel that can sit on our birdhouse roof to allow recharging of the battery above.
  • Possibly have some juice left over to power some speakers (we'll want to eventually add the ability to chirp when sending data to Mother Bird)
