Hi @aslenv

Maybe this would be useful for prototyping?

10Base-T1L RPi header with power over data line extension

Hi Bristlemouth Community Some time ago having so called one beer too much I’ve promised that I will make the “ocean project” I was think about Bristlemouth compatible. Well, 4 times more time that I’ve expected later there she is: [header] The 10Base-T1L RPi header with power over data line extension. Still needs a tweak here and there but if someone would have a spare twisted pair cable it would be great to give it a more practical try.

The drawback would be the power consumption: each of those would probably draw around 1W of power (including RPi), also probably a custom buoy would have to be built. On the other hand it probably would be bit easier to try new things and there probably would be more options to connect to the buoy and transfer the data.
