I love the concept of solar power and have many cells employed on battery charging etc.
I had a large spare panel that used to drive the motor of garden water feature.
I isolated the recorder with a 100nF capacitor and connected up to my computers mic socket.

WOW!

A strange new world of sounds opened up, the screen of my PC, flashing a torch and the light from my computer mouse.
I had no idea that sound could come from light so simply.

Be assured I shall be experimenting with this as well!


I looked at my setup and I had used a 0.1uf (100nF) cap for isolation. On the latest version I also use an IR filter of 950nm. A large panel has many possibilities :biggrin:.
