Good afternoon,
I’m currently testing an XBee3 setup using the Thing Plus -XBee3 Micro (U.FL) boards as both my coordinator and my end devices. I’m attempting to test a solar-powered version to act as a network nodes for connecting moving end devices. When using a battery and USB power, I get the charging LED indicator. However, when powering the board via V_USB and Ground through a solar panel and buck converter it runs but I do not get the charging LED indicator. (I’ve also tried a 12vdc power supply to the buck converter and still don’t get the charging indicator)
Is the onboard charger limited to the actual USB port only? Or is the USB indicator only limited to this?
Thanks!
