This is Floaty McFloatFace.
To learn more about the project head to http://www.sparxcoreprojects.co.uk
IN experimenting with LoRa i wanted to create a floating buoy that would send back over LoRaWAN sensor information like, water, air, internal temperatures, gps and others.
FMFF I created in order to be a test bed for these experiments. In order to extend the operation outside of what batteries can attain I needed to use solar cells in order to keep the internal battery topped up.
Aside from the specifics of the hole spacing on the carrier the parts here should be able to be easily reused. For example the clamps are in different sizes to accommodate different PVC pipe diameters. the 110mm clam is designed to have 5 printed and bolted together, which gives you the ability to have 5 solar nacelles attached.
The nacelles are made to slide in 110x60mm solar cells. These are typically 6v nominal cells, which make them suited to LiPo charging with an appropriate charger.
