      Ok guys, I tried!       If I directly connect the PNP base to battery negative the LED lights up as       bright as possible but it never turns off, even if I put everything in the sun.       If I add a 5k resistor between PNP base and battery negative it works as       expected, so it automatically turn on and off according to the amount of light       on the solar panel, but the led brightness is not much even when I cover the       panel or if I disconnect        it.       Ideas?              Thanks a lot!              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
