Hi All,
I heard talk about running a mesh network at first friday, and mark said y'all were
planning to make it happen. He showed me the POE injector and I offered to make some
harnesses to go between a few small 3.5Ah UPS type batteries and the barrel jack (center
positive?) that plugs into the injector. Are y'all still thinking of doing this? I
would like to contribute to the effort however I can - there are 4x 3.5Ah lead acid
batteries and one larger deep cycle battery and I have 2 dinky wall chargers to top them
off. If 3.5Ah is not enough, I'll make the harnesses to use 2 batteries in parallel.
Anyway, I've been meaning to help out but haven't felt I know enough about
networking to contribute meaningfully, so if this type of low level hardware would be of
use for first friday I'll build tonight and bring to tomorrow's hack night for
testing.
Cheers,
Hol
