    From Ben Longden@VERT/SOLARBEE to All on Mon Oct 7 15:32:03 2024
    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
