 I need to guess how much power the raspberry pi plus the modem will consume.
 |Device|Power consumption|
-|Raspberry Pi Zero| 120 mA (0.7W) | from ([https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blogs/jeff-geerling/raspberry-pi-zero-power|here])|
+|Raspberry Pi Zero| 120 mA (0.7W) | from ([[https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blogs/jeff-geerling/raspberry-pi-zero-power|here]])|
 |Hsdpa Modem | 120 mA | (estimated) |
-|Power Source| 60 mA | (estimated) |
-So... I've overestimated the comsumptions of the modem and the power are estimated, but based on [https://grunenberger.net/2014/02/24/4g-3g-2g-power-consumption/|what have this guy here], the
-estimation for the modem is somewhat correct.
-The overall consumption per 24h of work of this circuit we have (300mA * 24h = 7200mah), so I
-need a cell panel that can produce this quantity of energy. The zone I am living produces 1700Kwh/m2.
-Quiero ver si es viable construir una estación meteorológica que cuente con estos requisitos:

+The approximate consumption of this set is 240ma. For powering it, I've think that the [[https://www.adafruit.com/product/1903|PowerBoost 500 Basic - 5V USB Boost @ 500mA from 1.8V+]] will draw

+enough power for it.
-  - solar-powered, que se pueda poner autónomamente en el campo
-  - que transmita los datos a través de internet
-Para ello he pensado utilizar los siguientes elementos:
+For the batteries, the circuit can have NiMH batteries or lipo batteries. I've think that NiMH batteries are
+cheaper and safer, so I decided to use them. Aproximately 7.200 mah will keep the weather up and running
+for more than 24 hours, which is convenient in case there is a cloudy day. Two

+job.

+Next, is the cell panel. A tough question. Do it correctly needs measures of solar power in your zone,
