Rapid Energy Harvester Prototyping
The development board portion of the kit features on-
board temperature sensors, data EEPROM, potentiometer,
watch crystal, LEDs and expansion connector for PICtail™
modules. Supported PICtail module options include: RF,
SD/MMC Cards and more.

Solar Energy Harvester
The power for the kit is supplied by Cymbet’s EVAL-08 Solar
Energy Harvester. The harvester features a high-effi ciency
solar panel suitable for use with indoor or outdoor light.
The harvester captures, manages and stores energy in
two Cymbet EnerChip™ thin-fi lm rechargeable energy
storage devices. The EnerChips supply energy to the XLP
development board when light is not available.

The monitored information can be reported to the PC
user interface via a USB connection. This allows for
experimentation and balancing of energy collection vs.
energy use, maximizing the benefi ts of the harvested
energy.
