This short "tutorial" visualize the housing of an IMST iC880A - LoRaWAN Concentrator 868MHz together with a RaspberyPi The power is delivered by PoE and a step-down booster (12V -> 5V)
The tube is made of polypropylen and could be found at various stores. (HT-Tube DN70) It is fixed at the balcony with clamps, attached with each two "Fixation_Clamps"
Many thanks to Hanspeter for his support during design, laser cutting of the carrier board (http://www.funlab.ch) and preparing the clamps and @ local.ch for sponsoring the LoRaWan Concentrator and the RaspberryPi
IMST iC880A SPI with 3dB antenna, connected via ufl to SMA cable
Raspberry Pi with (at least) 4GB SDcard configured as in https://github.com/ttn-zh/ic880a-gateway
PoE Injector (Wall plug version) EU Power Over Ethernet AC/DC POE Adapter 48V 0.5A Injector Support IEEE802.3AF
PoE Splitter ( PoE -> 12Volt) Power Over Ethernet POE Splitter 10/100mbps 12V 2A POE Adapter
an other tested splitter (xV->5V) delivered only 4.7V [:(]
Voltage Converter (xV -> 5Volt) preferable an adjustable one, set to 5.1Volt
adj: LM317 DC-DC Linear Converter Buck Step Down Module
fix: Step Down Converter Buck Module DC 9V-40V to 5V 4Port USB (gives 4.8V!)
