Solar Charging General Info

WisBlock

I am using RAK 19007/4631 and GPS RAK 12500
FW V2.5.11

I understand that for successful solar charging I need to first measure current drain with all modules installed and the average current output of the solar panel which will vary by time of day, season and weather conditions. But with that said is there anyway with only the 19007/4631 to determine via the Meshtastic App if the built in solar charging circuitry is receiving any power from the panel. I believe there is an indicator LED when it detects power to the charging circuit but that requires physical access is there a similar function I can see remotely via the app?

There is no such option for the firmware, whether it is Meshtastic or any other Arduino application running on a WisBlock Core.

The only way is to measure battery voltage over time and detect the tendency.
