Content:

RaspberryPi
Battery + Power system
LoRa gateway
u-blox M8P eval kit

Connections to the outside:

Ethernet port of RaspberryPi.
PV module connector
Power adapter connector for manual battery charger

Antennas:

dGPS
LoRa
UHF module for dGPS

Use our EPS (https://github.com/Octanis1/Octanis1-Electronics/tree/master/octanis_eps/v1.0) to supply required voltages and charge batteries with 2 possible inputs: Solar cells or 5V / 9V power adapter (slight modification needed to switch between the two modes --> Maximum power tracking MPP to be adapted)

Other requirements:

Good thermal insulation
Weather-proof
Wind proof (possibility to attach to ground)

Jeroen is currently working on the tripod mount and will subsequently go on to assemble the aluminium frame.
