Awesome Tim! Will give that a try. Can be useful for people with large databases and who want to backup and clone.
Very much enjoying this 'construction'. First I was afraid (sounds like a song
) about the Bluetooth and Wifi performance of the Pi Zero W but I wonder what some people were doing. I read about dropouts after 3 meters. Mine is now in another room with a double brick wall in between and working perfectly.
About the solar. Old laptop cells (18650's), a 'UPS' and charger module from ebay (3 euro) a simple solar to 5V converter (3 euro) and a 20 tot 40 Watt panel (30 to 40 euro) and you are set. Then take a d-class amp module (5 euro) and a case (or use the case from an old radio) and you can make a nice cheap radio that you can take anywhere. I have so much fun with these things.
