Looks good. Haven't used this board yet. Does it work correctly?

Not sure what happened but I agree. it has been dead for awhile now. Seems like a lot of people disappeared.

Looks like good progress Matt. Are you going to leave the hotspot on all the time or program it to come on when motion is sensed? If you want to control the cam I guess you want to leave it on all the time. Have you figured out what the hotspot is going to draw?

Can't suggest any good panels. I haven't used any 12v panels.

Looks good Ralph. Seems you have room on the emt conduit to add a solar panel for the 12v sla.

Yes I think solar panels will be a must.

What did you get the bootup time too? I think it's pretty slow. Or are you powering the PI all the time? What are you doing for power? And are you leaving the hotspot powered on all the time also?

I'll be watching this Matt. I was very close to pulling the trigger on something like this myself. But I am not familiar with any of that programming. It probablly wolnt be until Monday until I'm around my PC and can Send you the gerber files for that Pir board.

Yes I have gerber files for it. I redesigned board and haven't tried it sense. Pir circuit works great. I can Send you gerbers. Send me your email. Is there anything else you want on board that may make it easier for you?

Both sold. Pending payment

The camera i am using is not an olympus D380. It is a canon 6v camera. I can't remember but off the top of my head I think I used a photo flash 330v 230uf Cap. With a little modifying of the case it fits inside nicely.

A buddy of mine has been making his own using this: http://m.ebay.com/itm/261834557404?_mwBanner=1 He soilders wires to it and houses everything in this. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&...id=321378786352 Then goops the case to the back of the panel. He has great success with these and I will be trying them this season as well with my builds. They also make a 12w version of this also but i think it may over charge the 6v a little. The best thing to power multiple voltages would probablly be to use a 12v panel and make (2) voltage regulator circuits one for 6v and one for 3-3.5v. The circuit is very simple and only consists of three parts.

These are the only pics I have with me right now. If you need more let me know. One of them has a slave and the other does not. The one without the slave has a flash cap mod done to the camera and it has a very bright flash on its own. A little more than a S600. Control board and slave and camera is all powered off of external 6v sla. Camera uses rechargeable AA batts. I believe I have found a good 6v solar panel. So this year I will be testing using them. The one without the slave flash has an internal 4.5AH 6v sla inside case.

Two s600 cams one is hacked and is working partially but it powers off and on randomly. Not sure if it's a battery issue or what. Didn't take the time to investigate. The other was brand new and working good but now can't get it to power on or off. I would like to sell them together if at all possible to save on shipping. $30 TYD for the pair.
