Description

Simple enclosure for the Faketec V4 outdoor solar node, with included thermal shield and ventilation.

My part list:

* Faketec V4

* 18650 Li-ion battery

* SD05CRMA MPPT Solar Charge Controller, connected to a small solar panel. I'm testing a 2W 6V panel on a window, and it has run for 2 weeks and kept charging without any problem. You can also use a TP4056 as a simple charger.

* 4x M2 x 3mm brass inserts, for the Faketec

* 2x M2.5 x 3mm brass inserts, for the BMP280

* BMP280 3.3V Digital Barometric Pressure/Altitude Sensor, mounted on the top piece

* IPEX interface 868/915MHz dual-band antenna, high gain 5dBi (as shown in the picture)

* XH 2.54 2-pin connector, for easy connection of everything

* Self-fusing silicone tape (weatherproof seal), for antenna isolation

You'll have to drill the hole for the solar panel cable yourself, since everyone uses a different location and cable diameter.

Comment if you want .step file for tinkering or creating own modules.

The top system makes it easy to design your own modules — for example, instead of a thermal shield you could make a solar panel holder, etc.

I will add real photos later after testing.
