Glad you were successful in getting that worked out like you wanted. Sometimes its just simpler to learn by trial and error. You remember those lessons, too. How much bigger is the solar cell? Could you add a cap to the chimney that would be large enough to hold the cell. You remember, Dave “suggested” a cap.
I bet its half again larger. Its not square but rectangle. It just ain’t gonna fit in the chimney no how no way. But that’s okay, the rock is actually plan A and the chimney was just me getting lucky. This little rock will be a cool decorative feature, I think in the long run it will look good. Best part about experimenting is that the lights are a buck, I bought a couple sets of Christmas lights so have a ton of LEDs now and the low voltage meant I could cut the resistors off the picos making them very friendly to use. I can see some serious potential in these. And thanks to Bill he assured me that I can’t mess it up too bad. I learn better by doing than being told how. Cheap hands on experiments.
