Field notes
The project treats a personal overland electrical system as a measurement rig. Its listed instrumentation includes a 500 A Victron SmartShunt, a Raspberry Pi 5, and one-minute logging across the truck’s devices. The inventory gives concrete reference points: approximately 2,560 Wh of LiFePO4 storage, 350 W of deployed solar, Starlink at 22 W asleep and 41 W busy, and a fridge whose consumption is still being tested.
