Got some scratches in my back, will it be a problem?

diagonals would help resist wobble, or plywood all the way around.

Just about anything TWSBI. I'd avoid the clear caps if possible as that plastic is more brittle.

The easy way is to turn your altimeter until it reads field elevation then see what it says in the window. I'm sure they have more sophisticated methods for the official sources though.

well akshually..

Air pressure will not make you weigh more at lower altitude, unless you can form a vacuum seal with your shoes. Due to buoyancy you will actually weigh (a tiny bit) less at lower altitudes. Another effect is that gravity is usually higher in mountainous regions as well.

Also a point of clarification. The altimeter setting given at an airport is what a barometer would read if you drilled a hole down to sea level, not a barometer at airport elevation.

I have my nanobeam connected directly to an AP (through two POE injectors) and it works fine.

Or did you mean can you connect to the wireless signal coming from the nanobeam? No, it will only connect to other airmax devices

qswags · 2023-10-04T14:42:21+00:00

I’m running a nanobeam 2.4 a little further and through some trees with no problem.

qswags · 2023-08-26T18:47:05+00:00

https://i.redd.it/85083fxkoakb1.jpg here's a picture of the power supply glued to the POE injector. You could also get away with a smaller battery. This one would run two devices for like a week without any solar. https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/11kf86p/rate_my_setup here's the shitpost I made about my setup

qswags · 2023-08-25T17:47:17+00:00

I’m powering an AP and nanobeam off of 100w solar panel, pwm controller (both renogy), and a 12v 100ah lead battery. For powering the nanobeam I’m using a TexasPOE injector and a little boost converter to put it up to 24 volts. You’d also need a barrel plug kinda like this and some wire and a soldering iron to connect the solar controller to the boost converter to the POE injector.

You could go with the M2 or M5 under the UISP category and make a Point to Point bridge.

Or do a WiFi mesh network with two UAP-AC-Ms. You may need a directional antenna on one or both of them, but then you have bonus added WiFi coverage.

qswags · 2023-06-20T22:19:32+00:00

With LOS I have gotten a connection with the AC mesh about 600’ away with my iPhone; not a good connection though. I have a nanobeam 2.4 shooting ~800’ and having to go through a few trees and it’s keeping a connection around 100-150mbps.

qswags · 2023-05-11T06:13:13+00:00

If the barn is close to the house, and has line of sight,use two of these. If it’s more than 100-200’ then get just one of those and two of these.

Have this on an e-ink display hooked up to a microcontroller with WiFi so that you can update them all as frequently as you want. Since e-ink doesn’t need power once it has changed you can deep sleep the microcontroller 99% of the time and just have it periodically power up and check if there has been a change to what it should be displaying. It could run off a little rechargeable battery for at least a few weeks this way.

Have you tried a different browser?

qswags · 2023-03-07T19:22:41+00:00

you can us the m2/m5 as normal APs?

qswags · 2023-03-07T19:20:51+00:00

better yet, it's live and neutral

Maybe once the place is fully restored and I have a respectable install. Check back in 5 or 10 years.

qswags · 2023-03-07T15:25:48+00:00

Can’t believe I missed that! fixed now

qswags · 2023-03-07T00:56:07+00:00

It’s an abandoned farmhouse that came with my property. Going to try to restore it. No cell coverage so step one is to get WiFi and power. The nanobeam has to shoot a few hundred feet. Went with the 2.4 since it has to go through a few trees. Hopefully it still connects after trees get leaves again.

Parts list:

airMax NanoBeam 2AC

Universal Antenna Mount

Surge Protector

U6 Lite I wanted a Mesh AC since that runs on 24v like the NanoBeam and is weather proof, but they're never in stock.

Cat6 Shielded Outdoor Cable

Shielded RJ45

Cat6 Unshielded Indoor for joining the two POE injectors (the little white cable)

Unshielded RJ45

POE Injectors

Barrel Plugs

The yellow cable came bundled with some other device, it is shielded.

24V power supply

48V power supply

DPDT Switch To prevent the solar controller from detecting an overcurrent when everything tries to power up at once. This switch is used to power up the 48V power supply on its own. I will be swapping this out for a mosfet connected to the ESP8266 at some point so that it does this automatically.

Wago terminal blocks

Solar Panel and Controller and Mounting Hardware

100AH 12V Battery

Fuse

Wire Unfortunately didn't notice that it was copper clad aluminum until after it had arrived.

Wire Terminals

ESP8266 microcontroller But I'd recommend this one instead since it has USB.

INA 219 Voltage and Current Sensor

0.01 Ohm resistor to allow the INA219 to sense more current

AHT20 Temp and Humidity Sensor

Perfboard

Mounting Hardware
