Hej Morten, how are you finding the washer dryer? I'm in the market for a new one which isn't too loud as the door has been removed from the kitchen!

you need a soldering rework station with hot air, works so much better for the heatshrink.

@MyPlayHouse I'm sure their are many other company owners/CEOs that'd you dislike if they were public facing, yet you still use their products/services. It seems like almost an arbitrary line to draw to not use starlink for that reason. Get it and setup a bandwidth intensive torrent mirror if you have that much hate for him🤣

just tested and i got like 380 with 5G, but i live like 100 meters from the mast.

Victron Energy Meter VM-3P75CT might be useful for power monitoring up there

Why not just pull ethernet câble with PoE ? Et the end it's more reliable and offrer you hard reset feature. If you're over 100 metter , ac power + Fiber + media converter work too. UV câble cost a bit more but still cheaper than zll Solar + wifi stuff

The battery has its own BMS (Battery Management System) which will turn off in the event of over discharge, so you could install a regulator directly off the battery to power the internet relay and not use the charge controllers load option, those charge controllers are not stable or reliable, also you can buy a shunt that monitors the power which can connect to the internet, food for thought.

That’s a bug not a feature. 😅

Get Troy Reid to fix it lol

Hey Morten, as far as I am aware, you should not twist the wire, before crimping.

My only system with SAS drives runs Proxmox. I bought 5 of 4TB of 520Byte formated drives. (I did not know why they where cheap). I managed to format them logged in 5 times parallel with putty and formatted the drives together. Took about 16 hours. Put them in a ZFS raid. Now I have a happy Dell T430.

Merry Christmas Morten, great video as always, Happy new year to you and yours, may 2025 bring us loads of new videos 🍻🍻🍻🍻

Does the BMS turn off the battery if the voltage goes too high. Get similar issue using LiFePO4 with a UPS. Would it be worth having a small lead acid battery in parallel?

Just a suggestion... In summer the cooling of the mppt device will fail with ambient temperature above 30C and in that closed case will reach above 60C. Love the vids. Merry Xmass !!

I'm running a small on demand setup with wireless, LTE, PMR Repeater (basicly just an ham radio with that feature), wireless backhall and a weatherstation on a studio lamp mount. You like it trying and a bit janky, but so far I can say that a 35€ outdoor box can reduce the jank level by a lot. Also, the box is a good idea, but if you want something cheap and a bit more temperature resistent, you can get a cheap passiv cooling box at lidl, which has better water resistence. I personally just us a upside down eurobox for the temp setup and puts the battery on a wood block mixing buckets as weights. My setup is a old 160w poly panel, Victron 75/15 (the only new part apart from the cables), an old Dell IoT 5000 who does LTE/wifi, routing and VPN, 24v car USB-A & C-PD charger and a 24v50ah battery. This lasts like 1 day without sun, mainly because of the powerdraw is high and the panel does 90w peak, the victron says. Hope this may bring you some ideas ^^

Maybe use some outdoor rated cable. I guess you could also try to use some PVC tape to temporarily make it more sun/water resistant. AIso I don't think the box can be in the sun without some forced cooling in some way. Especially in summer.

why dont you try starlink? should be better and faster

Nice little video from your Portuguese Playhouse. Merry Christmas Morton and to all of your viewers as well! 🎄

you should try wire stripping tools? you probably want 2 independent systems and then run opnsense and wifi6 for the backhaul - use multiwan to agg the pipes - or you could just add a couple phones (you could put them in a couple ventilated plastic boxes and opnsense and have triwan 60 up and down

i think u be better going star link

Hi Morton, you could hammer paint everything, the box, the pole, the wires battery box: drill water draining holes and Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer rubber or EDPM rubber.

You are doing crap after crap after crap. Plastic box/cabinet exists for 20e. Lunch boxes for IT equipments is idiocracy. You deserve all the problems you have.

paint box with uv resistant paint brother

Happy holidays Morton!

Hi Morton, what about a hammered painted 5 coats, wooden wine box(inside and out), that would protect it from the sun, rain and the heat. 1) hammered painted, UV-resistant paint for iron gates. 2) Wine box, free in most stores.

Dont forget that you need to set the charge controller to the correct voltages. If you have a heated battery dont forget that it will also drain power from the battery.

I think your fuse holder is for Mini fuses and the fuses you have are Mini Low Profile which would be why it didn't seem like a good connection.

Do you know if a gpu can fit into a Lenovo thinkcentre m70q second gen pls I need to play fortnite 😢😢😢

Hey, Starlink would definitely be an option for your situation. It really works very well! You can dismantle all the stuff and use it for something else. And Starlink isn't expensive for the performance you get. My opinion!

time for starlink... 🤣

Have you tried Ubiquiti sunmax solarpoint..

Happy Holidays

What about Starlink

🎶"Playhouse man in climbing a mountain. Why is he climbing a mountain?"

hej korten bra gjort intressant.2 saker jag hade gjort skyddat kablen till batteriet i en slang . Och bytt batteri lådan något beter det är på gång att göra framåt . Hoppas funkar bra nu.) god jul)

Finally he did use an MPPT solar charge controller, as well as new solar-rated cables. Thanks for listening, as well as Merry Christmas from the Philippines! 🌲🎄

Starlink ?

There is a Sulphur Mountain at Banff, AB, CA. There was a man Norman Sanson who operated a cosmic ray research station 700m up (not the highest part of the mountain) for 30 years. He made the trip up 1000 times.

Mountain Man Morten.

hey morten, for the battery box, would it make sense to dig it out a lil deeper, and put some lil rock down, and then put drain holes in the box, so the water, if it got in again, could drain out?

Hello.. The controller, being enclosed in the box, will not cause failure due to heating? That is my doubt. Greetings

Merry xmas morten 😊🎄

Portugal and Colorado are about the same longitude, so it looks like the weather is similar to the high desert I live in on the western side of Colorado. We do get cold in the winter because of the altitude. I have one of those cheap controllers on a 30W solar panel that charges a motorcycle battery that runs my weed-killer sprayer. I just left it out under the solar panel in the cart for the entire summer and winter.

Bro you are legend!!! This works everyone, it works!!! Do this!!!

Thank you! Saved me 300$

9:17 so cool

😒Don't use fake Chinese MPPT, use only Victron MPPT charge controllers !

great :D I have old VHS camera and there is problem with recording but I was thinking about connecting this kind device to output. Record direct to memory card :D
