PiAware Project Update

So I have a Raspberry Pi computer dedicated to monitor air-traffic, and it reports the results to FLIGHTAWARE.COM to help keep their system up to date.  You can see my results/stats here: LINK

I made a new antennae for it, and moved it to roof top yesterday, and tried to protect it from elements by having the electronics in a ziplock baggy.  It worked pretty good, started get some really distance flight, one was almost near Waco.  But didn't seem to get great local results.

When I got up this morning the system was down, went down around midnight, weather related.  Though I had lost the Pi from a short.  Got on ladder and brought everything in.  The Pi was still alive!

I had seen online a guy made a decent weather proof case for his Pi from a shop light.  I had went and picked up one last night.

I stripped out everything. I had to remove the Pi case, because things got very tight in there.  The 500W (same exact price) would have been a better fit, but it didn't have all that mounting accessories, that is why I chose this one.

I have a USB battery hanging outside the case for now.  Lets me move and test easily without loosing power.  I have ordered a Solar Charger with USB out, so I hope to hook that up and make a system that doesn't need to be plugged in.

Time to test.

Decided to elevate, so placed on top of Jeep, and ran a USB cable inside to lighter adapter (the one that is always on) so it would have power all day (until I decide to drive)

The results were OUTSTANDING!
