A Solar Powered Raspberry Pi Board

README

6W Voltaic Solar Panel to MULTICOMP PRO MC002194 enclosure

All of these Parts are designed to be printed in ABS or better. You may print is PLA if your use case is indoor only but otherwise, the reccomendation is ABS.

Connect the 6W volatic Panel to the Mutlicomp MC002194 Enclosure and 25mm OD PVC Pipe. This is obviously printed in two parts.

Mount inside the Multicomp MC002194 Enclosure

Physically Fitting it together, put a 25mm PVC pipe to connect the structure to the soil or a Ubolt clamp panel_multicomp_mount.jpg

The case mount goes inside the multicomp. you need to drill a hole in the aluminium and use a Waterproof cable gland PG-7

6W Voltaic Panel

• Solar Panel https://voltaicsystems.com/6-watt-panel/
• Right angled Female 3.5x1.1mm - 5.5x2.1mm: https://voltaicsystems.com/A106 or https://www.adafruit.com/product/4287
• If you get an EFTE panel you need to get ETFE Panel Screw & Washer Set https://voltaicsystems.com/mount-set-etfe/ these are 4-40 but an M3 should work

Finished Construction

The 25mm PVC pipe can go in the ground or you could use a UBolt. You can modify the scad to support any size round post that you like.
