Hello all.
I'v made a small 555 timer light display for a shelf in my room to illuminate behind my collection of dragon statues. I have the circuit working fine and built, but i want it to charge batteries during the day and as it get's dark to come on at night.
My question is, on the solarbotics site there are a few nocturnal solar engines which involve the solar cell, a diode and a resistor in parallel as the light detector. Would it just be a case of hooking that up to the power rails and off i go?
Included are my circuit and a solar example.
