Solar powered NXT node for conferences!

Berlin conference first! Wink

I want to support the next conferences with a RasPI completly solar powered in a nice box.
- RasPI model B
- Wlan USB Stick with preconfigured DHCP settings (just turn on wifi tethering on your mobile phone with SSID: NXT, PW: RasPI-NXT)
- Solar panel on top of the box
- 2x Li-Ion battery powerbank (up to 4x 18650 Li-Ion recharchable batterys each) (up to 27'200mAh! It will be able to run NXT node up to 30 hours without Sun!)

.....snip....

If the community like it, I can send it to one of the Berlin conference people. Well, please resend to me when finished Wink

Todo:
- testing odroid U3 + XU
- measure power consumption of all parts, batteries and solar panel to optimice power usage for offgrid solar NXT nodes
- make a list off all pars + weblinks to shops
- howto
- ...

Greets,

Nice work, ebereon.

Putting a solar RaspPi NXT node on display at the conferences will give us a unique talking/selling point for NXT, so I think that we need to prioritise these as promo material.

So, 3 points to begin with:

Ebereon: can u put more of these together for both Berlin and Amsterdam canferences ?
I have some conference experience and the chances of just one system surviving 2 conferences is minimal.....

To everyone else: Is their a friendly whale who can finance Ebereon ? Or can he get some NXT from the promo fund for this?

Can we start dedicated conference threads on another forum, just to give us a central point for the prep work ?

Last thought for the moment on conferences.....we need some large(ish) infographics/pretty pictures for a table display, at least A3 sized, preferably larger, fairly solid and freestanding, so ideas for that will be welcome.

So, because Utopian is a Nxt support, it's okay for him to create a clone?

It's OK to clone even for u as long as u don't try to scam ppl.
