@Skayo a good toss and some magnets ? 😁

<@CptFox>
What about the power bank? It doesn't last forever. -
@Skayo Just toss more powerbanks with planets to align them, so that each time they connect to the still in place module to charge the latest added bank 😊

<@CptFox>
Sure xD -
@Skayo Climb on top of it at a time where no one's watching ;)
And I think a 20A powerbank suffices for a while. Of course I had to swap it out for a smaller one to charge it, but still
I like how you didn't ask about the internet connection :P That was handled by a friend's WiFi using a seperate WiFi dongle. -

Oof -
@toriyaki My Pi Zero W runs for about 10 hours on a 2,6Ah powerbank, while being connected to wifi and top running via ssh. So this could easily run for 3 days straight, considering the camera, image analysis and wifi dongle draw a bit more power. And if you let it sleep at times you don't expect your bus or after the bus has arrived, this could probably last much longer.
I've build remote-controlled, riding flamethrower based on deodorant and ESP8266 (Arduino):
when ur friend says: im "programmer/hacker" hahahah
Well, the coolest thing that's public?
MultiCube! https://github.com/filthycoding/...
Non-public: I also once had a Raspberry Pi 2 placed on top of a bus station with a powerbank (and a little rain protecting covers) and a camera module, with a little piece of image analysing software that would notify me when my bus is coming.
This worked via Google Cloud Messaging. Initially I wanted to update that to Firebase Cloud Messaging, but I decided that I didn't need that system anymore and decided to give the Raspberry Pi 2 to a friend instead.
