Hey guys
here is an electronic water timer I designed last year in my 2nd year at uni. It was designed to be a low to medium budget product, the brief also specified solar panels with rechargeable batteries. The form could be a little more elegant I know, it was my first project using solidworks and studio max.

Hi, I like the design,
but I wonder, when you activate the gizmo, you flip the panel upwards. The solarpanels won't work as well in the shade, what's the standby time with the panel up. greetings Alex |

you flip the panel up when you want to adjust the watering time or change something, 99% of the time you would leave it down which turns the LCD screen off but everything else still operates.
As it runs on 2 AA batteries you could leave the panel up without charge for a couple of months. |
