after day 1 did not go so well – we had troubles with hardware, a dead router – the terrific group work on day 2 made it possible to finish the re:boot:cycle or re:bike.

the re:bike - solar panel, bullet & basket, cams, ..

the re:bike - solar panel, bullet & basket, cams, ..

it now provides

  • an internet uplink via 3G
  • a local wifi cloud via a Ubiquiti Bullet

all run fully autonomous from solar power (55 W panel, 35 Ah battery, for now)

next steps:

  • all kinds of apps over usb – video, gps to openstreetmap, power stats
  • a version with flexible solar panels … wrap it in light

we will make all technical info and a gallery available here, soon – for now we will ride the bike to the reboot afterparty.
