# Solether
Check the website:
####
check the node Edison code at the bottom of the website!
Check the schematics (the missing part on the top should ve a voltage controller)
Also here's a message I sent to somebody asking via email how I forsee the automated project

### Making Solether autonomous:
From a message I sent via email:
---
The autonomous part as I thought about it a bit, can work like this:
- Solether earns money by giving electricity for people to charge phone / stuff
- you, new user (NEW_USER), add more additional solar panels to Solether, you get paid
- if you connect a new solar panel/power source that gives Solether enough power for a week, you get paid
#### on the hardware side:
- you have an additional usb port that goes directly to the battery with a wire
- you have a current sensor (detects current) on the wire that detects if and how much current passes from the wire
#### arduino/r-pi code:
```
- in the loop:
- if sensor receives current for a week (during day hours)
- web3.sendTransaction NEW_USER_ADDRESS (send the funds)
```
#### webapp:
(or other app, this is not present, is how I imagine it atm)
- you build a webapp, one screen, that accepts an address as input
- lets you input an ethereum address (NEW_USER_ADDRESS) as payout address
- you have to connect a power source while you register, otherwise the registration will get canceled
- you write a file in the local Arduino/R-PI filesystem, the arduino/r-pi code in the loop reads it and gets the NEW_USER_ADDRESS variable
##### Schematics:
