Lightning strike!!!

 

A couple of weeks ago a had a lightning strike. It took out a lot of my stuff in my house and for my Garden Space Program.

I got "mission control" working again and now i started diagnostics and repairs on SOLSTICE, my central solar station.

Seems the lightning strike took out the main 5V voltage regulator for the Arduino Mega and also fried the Mega. Well, maybe the Mega was fried first, it now pulls 1+ Amps. This could have overheated the voltage regulator.

All other voltages look good, so far. Depending on the weather, i'll hook up a Radioduino 2 board to Solstice (instead the Mega) to check if the other hardware still works. I'll keep youi updated.
