Master Brick Portable Power Supply

[rwblinn]

Hi,

 

are there any recommendations of powering a Master Brick with 4 connected Bricklets and a WiFi 2.0 extension via portable power supply, like a Power Bank?

 

Would like to install outdoor where no line power supply is available.

Well, it seems there is a lack in the product line of Tinkerforge offering suitable power supplies I remember roughly there was a discussion or an intention to create an upgraded version of current power supply in the recent past.

 

But in the meantime maybe y could use e.g. the LiPo Rider http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/Lipo_Rider_V1.1 (upto 350mA) or the Lipo Rider Pro http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/Lipo_Rider_Pro (max 1A).

Power consumption of each brick or bricklet is well documented e.g. http://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/Hardware/Bricks/Master_Brick.html

Thanks a lot for the information - have ordered the board, battery & solar ... lets see how these work with TinkerForge Bricks.
