Yesterday, I quickly put together a self-contained, self-sustaining, easily deployable i/sGate + Digipeater in-a-box. I had all the parts I needed, so, most of the work was to designing and assembling the system and took me about a day (after bug fixes, etc).
The parts I used here include:
A couple future additions/ideas:
I have a YouTube video of the first phase and can be found here:
Since the video was made, I made a few mods to the setup to make it more efficient and zero noise and the below pictures are taken during and after the mods were made
Version 3: Rx Only w/ DireWolf 1.2 experiment
I made a few follow up modifications to the setup.
The below pictures are from these changes.
(since these experiments, I have finally landed on the following project for “field-ready” setup. The project can be found here)
Thanks

Nice looking project, Nagy. Thanks for all the pictures… it makes replicating your project much easier. Great website. Full of good info.
Look at a software application running on the Pi in lieu of the Pi-TNC. A small group of us have deployed DireWolf very successfully at 3 different locations.
Nice project, I am curious how you are keeping the UV5r in the charger securely or do you always deploy it in the same positiion, also, how do you set it so that the solar panel gets enough sun to keep it charged and going?
Keep up the good work!
I love the web page while it has lots of photos it still comes as using a very modestest 660KiloBytes of data.
Great value when other websites eat away your expensive mobile data, I found one page as 6Megabytes Unreal man.
