Hi Heeby ,
Congratulations! I really like your setup. As much as I know you are the first one using a R Pi Zero for running CumulusMX, resulting in a very compact system.
Thank you sharing your assembling and for having posted the pictures. Indeed, the posted pictures can be very useful to anyone which is building or planning build a similar system.
Once again, congratulations. Its always a pleasure knowing that one more person have a fully working system.
At my location, early in the morning, voltage battery usually is 12.3V to 12.4V during winter, and 12.5 ~ 12.7V on summer.

Quote:Regarding the battery voltage reporting,I noticed that I had used a 3.3kohm instead of a 3 kohm resistor...I have swapped that out for a 3k resistor and the readings are much more as expected, 14.1V during daylight, 13.2 during early night, haven't been awake early enough to know what voltage is at 5 in the morning when sun comes up. It has been running "off grid" for nearly a month now, so all good.
