Looks like a ho-hum transceiver chassis found on pleasure craft. Auto sound system amps look like that.
Now if it were a Trimble card mounted in a 3cm thick Ti chassis...
I think you'd be pleased with my plan.
I'm installing it in an aluminum trailer. The trailer is roughly 5'6" high. I am mounting a solar panel on the roof of the sign and running the power from that to a motorcycle battery. Then I'm running the power from the battery to this. I am also hooking up the constant power from the trailer lights to help with charging the battery.
So in theory, the device will be self sustaining. No need to charge it ever. And if I can eventually find a beefy enough solar panel, I'll be adding lights to the interior of the sign, so the sign will be backlit.
