I am not sure what we're looking at here. Did the installation hang, and not proceed, at this point? What is in the log? On Tue, Apr 23, 2024 at 2:00 AM J. H. wrote: > Linux s2 5.10.0-28-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.209-2 (2024-01-31) x86_64 > GNU/Linux > > > > 1 nicht vollständig installiert oder

The panel is easy - swap the door and plug it in. The CR123 battery is easy, and also there's a DC input on the board that you can directly run AC power in via an appropriate wall-wart. That's what I have to do in Alaska, otherwise the long winters drain everything... On Monday, April 22, 2024

I've had this kind of a failure in the past. If the super-capacitor fails it regularly drains the battery (I had to replace mine several times a year). A new motherboard fixes this. I also had replaced the solar panel, but that made no difference. Unfortunately, ants got into the housing a few

Thanks for the reply! (And thanks also Graham and Tom) I replaced the battery a while back when I first started having issues, I suspect the solar panel is shot so it no longer charges. The panel prices have gone up — $86.57 with shipping. Given that I’m within driving distance of their offices

Highly recommend Scaled. Use their contact link if you have questions. The other vendor was Scientific Sales but they don’t seem to have many parts anymore. Both had great customer service for me. On Tuesday, April 23, 2024 at 1:47:22 PM UTC-7 Charlie Fortner wrote: > On Tue, Apr 23, 2024, at

It sounds to me that Marius is most likely correct. If it's working during the day then the solar panel must be working, and the bad supercap is draining the battery so it doesn't work at night. (The solar panel does not charge the battery, just the supercap, the battery is not rechargeable
