Trifecta of monitors :D Was able to fix and revive one monitor and found a great deal on another trying to replace the one that broke, going from 1, to 3 monitors... I'm realizing that this RV is slowly becoming a mobile operations center from GTA5. My life has turned into a cyberpunk fantasy, and wouldn't have it any other way. I've been using the 3D printer a bit more, it's weird being off the grid and being able to print and make almost anything. I've finally gotten down and dirty with Fusion 360, modeling for the first time in years. All that is missing is a small CNC machine... soon. I would not think this sort of setup would be possible a year ago. Am feeling blessed. And relieved. Almost all of what I feel I've 'lost' by not having a traditional housing situation has been alleviated. Waking up to the sun charging my grid, to going to bed watching funny cat videos. It's not so bad :D and feels like it made all the hassle over the last 6 months worth it. Next step, service the battery bank and find help putting up the replacement solar panel. #cyberpunk #2020 #fpv #drone #matrix #monitors #setup #hesssystems #computers #futurisim #diy #solar #powered #RV #life #repair
Better than new!? Solar Generator ready for a test run tomorrow. All installed, routed and cleaned up a bit. Upgraded the hatch of the solar charger for easier access, added more stress relief to the wires, and added an extra bolt/mount to keep the box from moving around. For those wondering about my setup. 6x Deep Cycle 175 Cranking Amp Marine Batteries. This is my primary bank, stores energy for the night. 6x 175watt Flexible Class A Solar Panels, they absorb energy from the solar systems fusion reactor. I get about 600watts peak. 1x PowMr 60amp MPPT Solar Charge Controller. This regulates the 42v solar array down to 12v to charge batteries. 1x TechOn 3000w Pure Sine Wave Inverter for 110 power fron 12v batteries 1x Automatic Power Transfer Switch - automatically hands off power from inverter to generator 110. 1x Bayite Digital Current Monitor - Battery bank monitor 1x Anjoshi 300amp Circut Breaker - from batteries to inverter Just works (tm) few things I'd do differently, and upgrade further(more fuses, circut breakers, and cut off switches for safety) I had zero idea about solar 6 months ago. It's fun, and my favorite way of generating power :D Whole process kicked my ass, and abdominal wall... but it's done. I wont get much sleep tonight from the pain flair up, but least my mind can rest easier. #solar #generator #RV #diy #electronics #battery #bank.
Welp, thats a first. Took apart and rebuilt my solar charge controller after a meltdown. Ended up hammer crimping terminal connectors onto the ends of the cables, connecting via a bolt/nut for a physical connection that IMHO is better than the one it came with?! Likewise I made a silicone edge relief grommet, and wrapped both ends of the connection in high temp silicone tape. Fairly sure the connection came loose/was breaking loose enough to cause this failure in the first place. Going to try and better secure the controller to the RV so it'll hopefully fare better over time. The stock mounts that came with it allowed it to jiggle around a bit. It helps that the RV is essentially a workshop, and that I have multiple sources of power(engine, generator, solar). Hoping to get this controller installed tonight/the morning after some rest physically. Was painful and kicked my butt getting this out of the power compartment. #solar #electronics #diy #repair #power #RV #life #digitalnomad #fix #it
Getting out and celebraring Easter with Proximity FPV and enjoying Santa Cruz for a moment while flying old spots just for fun. Boondocked stealth RV setup that was an idea last year is in full effect now. When I left this area the RV was barely functioning and not boondockable. Found a quite spot next to the beach :D Feels weird to be back in my old neck of the woods, thanks Justin for pulling me out to go fly. I needed to get out and have a chill day. My leg is getting a bit better, still weak sauce. I'm keeping my head down and trying to decompress while I wait to hear back from Stanford. I'm flustered by my health. Hoping ill be kickin' butt in a couple weeks after the abaltions kick in, and hopefully get a solid 6 months to a year of relief. Last few days have kicked my butt to say the least. Hoping for better days ahead! #rv #boondocking #drone #pilots #fpv #adventure #easter
My Fortress of Solitude. Its absolutely gorgeous out here! Found a spot to decompress on a mountain ridge and take stock of life. Finally have cell signal(916 area code number!), and high speed internet properly too, and my ma has phone service. Didnt have good reception in Hanksville and made it hard to handle insurance on the intrigue. Still frustrated, mostly with my body and just feeling rough. I really wanted to get into the MDRS sim, just was not realistic for this week given everything.. maybe the next one. Gives me plenty of time to hug my mom and relax. Really feeling it physically a couple days in, bruises are turning into a rainbow. Just glad it's not worse. Have fuel, food, water, and everything needed to camp here for a while comfortably... oh yeah did I mention I have high speed internet on the side of a mountain?! #mofi3500 #netbuddy #rv #travel #life #update #moab #utah #digital #nomad #scenic #drone
#nocontext #brainslug On the road officially, off to a rough start, though the panels are staying put so far. Am a day behind my travel schedule and not sure what the rest of the trip to Utah looks like yet, though I know one thing. I am off to Utah to pickup food for the crew. Let's DO THiS! #mars #trip #futurisim #persistance #RV #life #digital #nomad
Yuuus! RV passed smog today and is fully plated! Now down to getting the solar installed and a few small repairs. It's been a long road to get to this point and had many moments of doubt/hardship along the way, though its finally working itself out and the last major hurdle is passed. Now time to do a victory lap and finish this solar system! Hopefully soon back to your regurually scheduled epic drone content. #RV #life #solar #digital #nomad #real #world #spaceship #s.s.mcmotorface #victory #dedication
I just took my first hot shower in the RV. With more water pressure than my old apartment due to the upgraded pump and new low pressure shower head. Tomorrow this RV gets smogged now that its run 40 miles today with zero issues and the radiator fix is holding true, with DMV scheduled Friday. And hopefully solar this weekend?! Right in time for the MDRS trip. For those that dont know, this is the Re-cycle Garage logo tatted to my arm(from my time of breaking things in their garage). They're all about getting motorcyclees back on the road and running again. All these years later and the ethos behind it still lives on in almost everything I do. This tattoo oddly feels more fitting now than ever, even if I still cant ride anymore. Thank you Liza for the inspiration still to this day. I've learned a lot about this RV. While I havent been able to work on it directly I've watched the work that has been done and have had a crash course on the systems of the RV over the last few months. Have learned a lot, and am sure will learn plenty more as time goes on. Huge thanks to RV Depot for the hookup and quick fix today. I'll be back for some future fixes outside of my ability. Thanks Vince & Ken for taking care of this rig and being sensible, straight forward, and fitting this small fix in today! #RV #life #digital #nomad #drone #workshop #on #wheels
The best drone workbench is one that travels with you. Testing out the radiator replacement that Kent helped sort out while going to get the Hot Water Heater fixed at a local RV place. So far so good! Today should hopefully mark the end of the major repairs and the start of installing the inverter and solar charge controller. Hoping road worthy by next week! #digital #nomad #drone #rv #life
Workbench Achieved. Kent helped get the pegboard up today, it finally feels like I've regained a bit of what I lost. Now have a space for working on machines proper... and a place for my goggle ans TX, can grab and fly within seconds.... something I couldn't do before. The RV conversion continues. #RV #digitalnomad #drone #workbench #workshop
Safety check! Heading out to southern California today, will be a long trip! I'll be in the Twentynine Palms area if you want to fly with me! #Drone #life #rv #living
