New long term build of an off-grid maker shop

KalebTheMaker
KalebTheMaker over 2 years ago

Hi all,

I am starting a new build of an off-grid maker shop. I have a dedicated blog where I have posted the idea and the dream, but there will also be blogs about the specific projects that are going to happen. 

Along with the shop build itself, there is quite a bit of infrastructure that I need to build. Im going to try to stick with open hardware and open-source as much as I can, and build a lot of it myself - hopefully with some input from you! 

Here is a short list of some of the first projects I will be working on, but check out the blog post there for a more complete list, description of the property and my current status.

  • Gate opener control system (off the shelf actuator, but I will build the control system)
  • 8-10k Solar Array
  • Water Tank Monitoring
  • Solar Monitoring Stations

Come check out the projects on the Off-Grid MakerShop blog.

See you there,

-Kaleb

    I think it would be interesting to see what weird and wonderful ideas people come up with to solve problems.

    Perhaps an 'off-grid' theme might work well with Project14 at some point.

    Great thought, you should post that as a theme idea here: /challenges-projects/project14/i/themesuggestions
