No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI am using a 7 port USB3 12 volt powered HUB. It is mounted inside a case with 3 of the ports accessible on the outside. It has never given any trouble and works perfectly with linux systems. (Odroid XU4). Used outside in heavy dew many times.
Here is the link

Hi all, i have two devices.

My main device is an Asus Tinker Board (www.asus.com/au/Single-Board-Computer/Tinker-Board/).

My my back up is an Intel Compute Stick (www.intel.com.au/content/www/au/en/produ...tick/stk1aw32sc.html), only because the USB and Wifi is less reliable than the Tinker Board.

Both devices are setup in hot spot mode (I'm a mobile imager).

Cameras and GPS connect via a 12VDC powered USB3 hub and the mount via Wifi.

I VNC with my tablet/laptop.

Hey!

Are you using the Rock64 or the Rock64Pro? It looks like a good alternative. :-)

Greetings,

Apologies for the delayed response ...

My dark sites are at campgrounds and I take my camping trailer and either get power at my site, or I use my generator inverter and use that to power my trailer and all the astrophotography gear.

I am building a power box and on EBAY I purchased a couple of 12v to 5v converters used in cars (presumably for USB). The ones I have supply upto 3amps. I've attached a picture of it.

I'm using the Rock64. I very happy with it - I can download and save a 32mb image in seconds, and start the next capture. It's been very stable. I haven't used it in warm weather and I suspect I need to add some cooling other than the passive heat sink, and I can verify it works down to -25 C with no issues.
