kerravon Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Hi all just watched the hak5 Solar WiFi Pineapple Briefcase, Aircraft Tracking with High Gain Point-to-Point, Hak5 1614 video on you tube with great interest. Does anyone know the specs of the solar charge controller used? As I'm going to get my students to build one for a fun project, any help would be greatfully appreciated.

Mad Pierre Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Surely any 10 Amp 12V solar charge controller will do the job, With a 18Ah battery like in the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerravon Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) yep sounds good, but was also thinking if I wanted to place the nano in there at any point in time, would placing a simple 5v regulator circuit between the output of the solar charger and input of the nano suffice, or isit gong to fry?

Just_a_User Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 There are a few 10/20A solar charge regulators about that have 1 or 2 USB ports built in, might be worth a look. https://www.banggood.com/Intelligent-Home-20A-12V24V-LCD-Display-Solar-Charge-Controller-wit-USB-Port-p-985075.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
