Decide on Hardware #3

Open BraydenBrekke opened 5 months ago

BraydenBrekke commented 5 months ago

Currently we have (I think)

  1. about 4 RPis with Non-Water proof Cases
  2. two LoRaWan long range antennas
  3. several standard range antennas.
  4. A PiCam (doesn't perform well in low-light situtations

What we will need (living document)

  1. Water-proof Cases
  2. Possibly more Long-range antennas if we want to scale past 2 long-range nodes
  3. A low-light camera (there's some low-cost Sony sensor out there I have seen)
  4. A battery

Considerations

  1. Cold
  2. Wet
  3. We want to charge this very little
  4. There will be plenty of shrubs
  5. differing altitudes
  6. heat of RPi 4
  7. Camera lens getting foggy
