*This week's goal was to get the power supplied by the solar panel to the battery, and have the battery power the motor, while the battery is being charged.
A charge controller was bought to regulate the voltage and current of the solar panel and store the power being supplied. A power supply was used to simulate power being supplied from the solar panel to the charge controller.
Power is being supplied from the "solar panel" to the charge controller, and from the charge controller to charge the battery pack.
There isn't a picture of it, but we were also able to get the power from the "solar panel" to the power the motor. But as previously mentioned by Vasyl, power banks cant be charged and discharged simultaneously. So we couldn't get the power from the "solar panel" to the power the motor and charge the power bank simultaneously.
We have a potential solution in mind, currently waiting for parts.
