Thank you E14 staff, sponsors and thanks also to tariq.ahmad , who is working hard behind the scenes.
For placing in the winners category in "Crazy Arduino Automations" and "Off the grid" Project14 competitions I ordered and received parts to build another "Off the Grid" project.
Shout out to misaz for publishing the spoils of his winnings, it inspired me to also share what can be done with shopping cart winnings !
Similar to rsc solar charged green "VHF go kit" Ham Radio Off-the-Grid "Go Box" and Solar Charging System
I always wanted to go one step further for go kits, to have an entire operational HF station & PC at home, just ready to go in a minute.
To accomplish that task, I was able to order a Multicomp flight case with shelves, a 375W DC inverter, 12Vdc and 120VAC fans, and a 10A solar converter regulator on shopping carts.
Thanks so much for the contests and the rugged materials.
The 12V battery, solar panel, and HF antenna will be external to the "go kit" case
but all these other components will be inside the case, ready to go and hit the road. (I hope)
I'll post progress on the physical layout as it develops.
The Kenwood TS 480 is a mobile station that natively runs on 12V, but in the event to grab the go kit and run, I didnt want to mess with a bunch of rewiring.
I also have both 115VAC and 12V monitors, but I'm thinking to maybe VNC into the LattePanda3 using a iPad to save hauling around a keyboard and mouse and speakers.
I tried using a mini keypad, its OK for Raspberry Pi with Kodi, but too cumbersome running a full function PC. Alot of fun to play with and experiment.
Thanks again Newark and E14 sponsors.
