We've had some requests on exactly what do the pushpins do. So, we added videos for two of them. Push Pin 1 (Masher Point) Push Pin 3 (Chisel Point)
New Solar Cell!
Dave Hrynkiw
March 15, 2004
As Panasonic is no longer manufacturing their line of Sunceram solar cells, we've been on the hunt for suitable replacements. Here's our first find - the SCC3733!
It's a polycrystaline cell in an epoxy casing, so it's a bit heavier, but much, much less prone to breaking or burning off of the solder-pads. It's also easily the match for the venerable SC3733, only falling a bit behind the SC3733 in low-light conditions. Try them out - we're quite happy with them!
