Packing the #LoRaWAN gateway in a waterproof enclosure. Yes, there was a good reason to attach that car lamp light bulb to the box.
I got the wong PoE power supply – micro USB instead of USB-C. And that tiny white converter made the whole thing too large to fit. So we had to make a tiny hole for the cable to fit. But had nothing to close the hole with on hand. We did have a cable gland, which gave us enough space for the power cable. A car light bulb was lying around and it was just the right size to plug the cable gland and keep the whole thing relatively waterproof.
And we'll find a better way to mount the mast. Right now it's stuck in a pipe attached to our rainwater tank. That moose bone we found nearby a few years ago is jammed in the pipe and keeps the whole thing stable.
And this is the #LoRaWAN sensor I carry around for testing. It's very power hungry and we found a solution, but eventually we'll have to put that battery back in the lawn mower.
You are so wetland-solarpunk 🤩 
@earthworm To be solarpunk I'd have to install some solar panels, right?
Lol.
I was thinking about this and first had written wetlandpunk, but was unsure whether anybody would understand it 😅
But solarpunks can live in caves and feed on fungi, if necessary. It's a diverse concept 
@earthworm Great idea! I'm going to use #WetlandPunk as often as I can! Unfortunately we can't live in caves – they're all flooded.
@szescstopni moose bone powered #LoRaWAN 🦴
@RoboticistDuck Sort of. It would really be "powered" if I burned the bone near a thermocouple, so it's rather "supported" :) But it definitely is an element of our hardware stack.
@szescstopni is LoRA line of sight?
@jerzone No, but I have no idea what the leaves will do when the spring comes – they'll certainly interfere.
And it's up, ready to gather data from sensors I'll be placing in our wetlands. The 6 metre mast is just for testing, if all works well the device will go much higher.
