Ammo Can go kit

OK, I've just finished putting together my ammo can go kit. I will be using a cheap android phone to serve as a terminal, camera, and/or phone extension, as needed. It's got a battery built in, a power switch on the outside, a very small node (AR-150-ext), an AR-MT300N to act as a wifi client, 5V, 24V and 48V power supplies, and a slightly modified POE switch to provide both 24V and 48V ports. The battery is a 7AH gel cell, with 1/4in tabs. It fits perfectly on end inside the plastic ammo can. The plastic was also easy to cut a slot out of for cables to come out as needed.

I've got a set of nodes already mounted to a short PVC pipe that will screw on the end of a painters pole to use as a more high profile and higher power node. The antenna on the outside is connected to the AR-150. I've got another switch on order to modify for at home if someone wants to see how I modified it when I get it in (I forgot to take pictures, and don't want to take the box back apart). The ports are color coded with the NW Ohio AREDN-Mesh standard (Though I need to get a better yellow). 

To keep things compact, the ethernet cables used inside the box are the 6in micro slim run ethernet cables from Monoprice. These are great for non-powered runs, and readily handle a much tighter bend radius. 

The white wires hanging out the side will go to a set of powerpoles to charge the battery, or power the unit when other power is available.
