I'm looking to run a SBC from battery, but solar top up to the battery when the sun's out.
I'm a mechanical engineer and have to admit, the electronics for this confound me, and wondered if someone clever with this stuff can point me in the right direction.
I've tried using a couple of small circuits like the 4096 that is often used for charging batteries, but my complication seems to come from wanting to continue drawing power at the same time as benefitting from the solar.
The project is for logging data from my greenhouse, such as temp, humidity etc.
