    From Ben Longden@VERT/SOLARBEE to All on Monday, October 07, 2024 15:32:03
    Hi,

    So two years later and I'm back messing about on Synchronet and my solar powered raspberry pi project (although it's actually currently in my house, which does fulfil the brief as I have a 5kW of solar panels on the roof and a 5kWh battery. Hooked back up to DOVEnet and a much more resilient set up for synchronet means I should actually hang around a little longer this time!

    Hope there's still people out there.

    Ben.

    Wow, brothers from another mother! I have also just re-entered the Synch-World and after some absence and plowed in with a tiny board computer - a Banana-Pi because I am CHEAP and wanted a SATA port - I am Using my board much more, so I hope it survives my obssession with constant futzing about with wares.

    which does fulfil the brief as I have a 5kW of solar panels on the roof and a 5kWh battery. Hooked back up to DOVEnet and a much more resilient set up for synchronet means I should actually hang around a little longer this time!

    I have about 25 damaged panels in a nice stack next to the shed, waiting to be sited and put to use. I'm looking for time and gumption for it, all the bits are got. I could easily run the BBS system off the solar once it is up.


    Hope there's still people out there.

    "People" is a kind term. "Phreaks and Gheeks" might be closer to the mark!

    Nice project. I like the idea of running a system of a SOC computer, and solar.

    Years ago I used to call a BBS called SolarPi. I don't know where it went, but it was pretty cool.

    SolarPi used to live at bbs.solarpi.net:23

    The sysop had some ham stuff in there as well.


    What's your BBS all about?

    I wonder what power output you currently get to feed your RPi. I vaguely remember it wanted perhaps about 10 W with few amperes at 5 volts. What size
    of panel you need for it?

    If you use current high enough, they can even glow for a bit! haha
