Transceivers go awry • Direct connection • AC to DC converter is having heat issues • Heat sink • Use more than one converter • Install low power fan • Ventilation on bottom of eStrip • Digital components near high voltage • High voltage wires use different colors, digital components isolated from high voltage, plastic casing will be used for the power station, and potting will be used so that no high voltage wires will be exposed • Internet can’t be accessed by Pi on KU network • Cell phone WiFi hotspot used with a WiFi module purchased for Pi • Or bring a WiFi router to act as a LAN
