Solar Boat Race Purmerend - 2019
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
Feeling a bit like a tech badass. Roadside repairs on the solar generator completely successful. $8 repair with stuff from an auto parts store... for what I had thought initially would require ordering parts and or buying a new solar charge controller. Woke up to better power generation than I've had since starting this whole adventure. And have been monitoring things as the day goes on. Everything is cool to the touch under full load. The wire melted wire had gotten warm since it was installed. A bad connection got worse, and lead to the failure. Now back to finding a spot in/around San Deigo... reading up on local laws, and my rig may not be street legal to park due to length. Something I had no idea about ha. I'm only a few hours away! #diy #solar #generator #digital #nomad #life #on #wheels #sandeigo #iron #woman #fpv #multimeter
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

This is Not a Drone Vlog
1400 watts of panels are up on the roof, with 36/42 volts of solar power going down into the 60amp MPPT charge controller! Just barely had enough room to lay these panels down. Last minute parts show up tomorrow, and should hopefully be fully running tomorrow. Thanks @KentWest for all the help. Stoked this project is finally coming to fruition, and eager to test the full system out before leaving 'port' for the MDRS trip to 'Mars'. Gotta launch this spaceship soon. #MDRS #Mars #Utah #Trip #Digital #Noamd #goingtomars #solar #power #space #ship
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
