I'll admit, half the stuff I try doesnt work but i suspect this will.
Anothetr thing I am trying is to wire my solar panel as a way to turn
off the anchor light at night. I got the idea from a web site I saw so
I lay no claim to it. They connect a NC relay across the solar panel.
When it generates power, it powers the relay (30 mWatt) which turns off
the anchor light. Of course I'll incorporate a switch to turn off the
entire thing, relay incluided. Radio Shack did have the relay.
