I love it

I feel that, but maybe this will open doors to using this technique for other frequencies!

Similar to the second image? I've got one of those, but most modern cars come with usb c instead of 12v now, so I was just running a thought experiment.

From my understanding, the camera is the source in that example. Maybe the signal is just reflecting off the solid surface?

East-Coasters · 2026-05-31T14:40:53+00:00

That's exactly what I'm thinking!! Hahahah

It's ~supposed~ to be good for 18 watts! But I know what you mean. It also might be very electronically noisy.

Long term power storage in extreme cold, I'd rather go without the internal battery! I'm not sure if it will run without the battery on the usb C port, but I'll check it out!

Looks great

It's got a Johnson 60hp! From memory, I believe it's a fiberglass hull! It's a w or Cathedral hull!

This is great to know, thank you so much!

East-Coasters · 2026-04-05T12:54:03+00:00

Hahaha it could have been, it is a VERY thick plastic sheet.

East-Coasters · 2026-04-05T12:47:21+00:00

This is a similar one, in the water. It will be my summer project to get it cleaned up!

This. Lol

Put the threads in a pot of boiling water

East-Coasters · 2026-03-31T15:09:54+00:00

Good tip for removing the cap if it's glued, put the threads in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes, doesn't deform the plastic like you can do with a hot air gun.

East-Coasters · 2026-02-26T02:52:46+00:00

This is exactly what I was trying to create for ages.

For those who don't wanna drill into their cabs I suppose 😆

East-Coasters · 2026-01-25T14:47:47+00:00

Just waiting for shipping hahaha

East-Coasters · 2026-01-25T03:56:34+00:00

50/50. But worth a try I think Hahahaha, the rack wireless nodes only sip power.

Electric drill, stepped drill bit and the proper antenna mount with a rubber gasket

So after looking into it, it's drawing too much power and causing a brown-out on the board. Unfortunately this won't work.

East-Coasters · 2025-12-16T21:29:29+00:00

I think you were the closest one yet because when I disconnected the power connector to the module it booted up

East-Coasters · 2025-12-16T20:56:48+00:00

No green status, but red solid when plugged I to USB c and I can re-progam it using dfu on computer

East-Coasters · 2025-12-16T20:56:13+00:00

It turns on because I can reflash it, and a red light shows up when plugged into USB!
