The PD 65W Module (Manufacturer: Stas, Part ID: 4) is a high-performance Power Delivery (PD) module designed to deliver up to 65 watts of power. It is primarily used in USB-C applications to enable fast charging and efficient power management for a wide range of devices, including smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other USB-C-enabled electronics. This module supports multiple voltage levels, making it versatile for various power delivery requirements.
This circuit is a solar-powered battery charging and LED lighting system. The solar cell charges a 18650 Li-ion battery through a TP4056 charging module, which also powers a 7805 voltage regulator to provide a stable 5V output. A photocell and MOSFET control the power to a high-power LED, allowing it to turn on or off based on ambient light conditions.

Below is an example of how to monitor the module's status using the I2C interface with an Arduino UNO:
#include <Wire.h> // Include the Wire library for I2C communication
#define MODULE_I2C_ADDRESS 0x3A // Replace with the actual I2C address of the module
void setup() {
Wire.begin(); // Initialize I2C communication
Serial.begin(9600); // Start serial communication for debugging
// Check if the module is connected
Wire.beginTransmission(MODULE_I2C_ADDRESS);
if (Wire.endTransmission() == 0) {
Serial.println("PD 65W Module detected!");
} else {
Serial.println("PD 65W Module not detected. Check connections.");
}
}
void loop() {
// Request status data from the module
Wire.beginTransmission(MODULE_I2C_ADDRESS);
Wire.write(0x01); // Example: Command to request status
Wire.endTransmission();
Wire.requestFrom(MODULE_I2C_ADDRESS, 1); // Request 1 byte of data
if (Wire.available()) {
byte status = Wire.read();
if (status == 0x01) {
Serial.println("Power Delivery Active");
} else {
Serial.println("Power Delivery Inactive");
}
}
delay(1000); // Wait 1 second before the next status check
}
