Installed the first solar #meshtastic node at a farmer’s homestead. Still waiting for external antennas to arrive. But as it is (internal antenna), it is reaching a couple of miles easily and consistently. Next one is at the actual farmer’s market in OSJ.

What device is it? I’m just getting into this.

Inside there's a RAK Wireless WisBlock Meshtastic Starter Kit.

Thanks!

Those went fast. What do you use for stock notifications?

Mark playing the market is like a Dr Evil movie.

Hitlers head would do great on his desk feeding those delusions of grandeur.

Oh wow! That stock arrived today! That must be a record. They have per item notification but they also generally update on stock via email. They mention approximate dates and that’s when I refresh the page. They enter the stock live before sending the email update. That’s how I grabbed a few more.

Siiick

I'm diving deep on Meshtastic. I just built clients for my fiance and I and have plans to put routers around town.

Awesome, did you build this device from scratch or did you buy it as is?

This is the way.

nice can you share a bit more about the hardware , battery and wiring you use?

Do you have a link to the build? Cost? Seems like a great option for neighborhoods in times of disaster…

The solar setup takes advantage of the low power consumption of RAK devices. https://store.rokland.com/products/rak-wireless-wisblock-meshtastic-starter-kit
