Idk if i could like this video for the chassis opening part or laugh and lije at the band over hi frequency board chips 🤷🏻♂️, that dishy and arduino connectors for 48volts looks burny
Excellent. Why are so many others destroying their Dishy when this method is so clean? Did you find a solution to mount the router and 12v to 48v converter together?
Положите это на дно пластикового контейнера с бортами 100мм лицом вниз, использовать термоклей или супер клей, вы переворачиваете это к спутнику лицом и получаете защиту от брызг. Можно запенить это строительной пеной снизу. Также пластиковый пакет если очень быстро
Your Wifi is signaling direkt 7nto the Antwnna from the dishy and also the metallshield is missing you became massive problems with emv and also with your bandwith is signifcally decrease because of all these mods. There is a technical reason why the router is not in the antenna.
Great Idea in itself to make the whole thing a bit more portable. As you mentioned at the end, I wouldn't put the router directly to the dish, as various frequencies may interfere with earch other. I'm not a satellite expert, but I would almost say that wifi - for exaple - could interfere with satellite reception. From what I have seen from others so far, I would recommend a different router anyway. The one from Starlink seems to be somewhat modest.
Hi there, my gen 2 dish is dead and Starlink refused to replace it due to a sub standard mount, there is no sound coming from the dish and it won't even stow, i think it isn't getting power, is there a fuse inside that blows or something else that would cause this issue??
I run 12v 6800mAh 3s3p 18650 battery with original long cable about 45 minute, It draw upto 10A when I run speed test especially upload. 6 to 7A in avg. Maybe my $3 boost converter is not efficient enough.
@@baliwski I'm planning to convert gen 2 into "portable" I don't think I'll need boost converter and poe, since everything already in the same enclosure just like in this video. And I'll run the whole system in 12vdc. In my optionion the power consumption should be more efficient. I'll give you and update when the conversion done.
@@EVIndonesia thank you! Looking forward to it. As you know the mini has been released. I don't know which one would perform better. But for sure, I would need a portable one for weekend travels. Thank you for all you do
@@baliwskiif you have choice may be mini wi suit your need. But here in my country (Indonesia) Starlink service just start about 3 ago. We don't think Starlink will release mini soon. even the gen 2 in avg need around 1 month waiting list. Lucky me they sent me the packet after 5days after the order placed. I've ordered yaosheng poe 3 week ago, it's not came yet all the the cost, the clone one cost me around 50usd. That's why I started open the router casing and end up going this path converting to portable 🤣
Hi, in your video I couldn't see how you connect the 3 wires from the Wi-Fi card (12v, 48v and gnd) to the inverter where there is 12v, positive and negative, with 48v positive and negative) i.e. I have 4 wires in the inverter with 3 wires on the Wi-Fi card, could you explain it to me?
Not the best video or setup. There are way better videos on youtube than your setup. First desolder the motor jack you don't need it you will save space that way. Second desolder the big bottom chip and one resistor on the left side the board that way you can power the dish directly with 12 volts from your car you won't need a 48 DC converter that wastes power. Third buy a 90° jack for your ethernet cable and buy flat cat8 cable and crimp a new cable that way you will lower your profile even more. Forth get a better thinner backplate ready made there a few sold on ali express which are quite good and you will have a way better thinner dish. Fifth get rid of that big bulky useless starlink router and buy a third party wifi 7 router from ubiquity. And that's the final procedure so enjoy your new 4mm thick dish.
This by far seems to be the best POC. This will work great for back Packers as well as motorcyclists who can't afford much space, weight or power. How much power does this draw or, how long did your battery in this video last? What battery are you using?
