I think these are awesome ... I've got an application for a very low duty-cycle device (operates for seconds each hour) and, paired with a suitable capacitor (or super-capacitor), I can completely pot the entire system in epoxy, mount that in foam in a tennis ball and still have about a decade long service life!
EDIT: No, it's not a dog toy
- cwkoss 7y agoIf it's inside a tennis ball, it only stays not a dog toy as long as you keep it away from the dog.
- zentiggr 7y agoAnd given my dog, it'd stay a dog toy for a very short half life after me got to it. Nothing less than Kong toys in his world, everything else is a snack.
- lmilcin 7y agoCaps leak a lot. Take it into account. I would probably use something like a very simple buck boost dc to dc converter to constantly charge a battery to provide buffer that will be enough to accommodate spikes.
