Had some troubleshooting with the #raspberrypi running #VenusOS. Turns out a flash symbol on the screen indicates inadequate power. The 12 V dc-dc stepdown is rated at 3000 mA and it looks like we're under 1 A. Changed the USB-A to micro-USB lead after a long session of elimination. That seems to have fixed it and it now boots reliably without bootlooping. Since the raspberry pi is built into the #LiFePO4 battery it was a pig to debug. Have to rebuild it to have the raspberry external.
Ikea's cutlery box fits, if you sand off the edge.
Light installed in the pilot berth. Have been planning this for literal decades.
Pleasantly surprised at how good the old oxidated mast turned out with Hempel's mast oil

Finally got around to replacing my small but expensive APC lead-acid based UPSs with one larger LiFePO4 self-built system. Has about 10 hours of capacity and the advantage of being able to take advantage of cheap electricity.
Cells and case from #fogstar, BMS from #JBD, Inverter/charger and battery monitor from #Victron and powered by a #raspberrypi running #venusOS. -
