TLDR: Meshtastic is an open-source, decentralized mesh communication protocol that enables long-range, low-power, and secure communication between devices. Solar nodes are self-powered devices that use solar energy to operate continuously and extend the reach and reliability of Meshtastic networks, particularly in remote or off-grid locations.

Important note if you are powering nodes with solar

Hi ya''ll, So starting with the 1.1 series of releases the firmware is smarter about power management. And part of that is that it assumes that if it has power coming in via the USB port it doesn''t need to sleep. This is really useful for most users because if they hook up external power the bluetooth stays always connected (or they can connect to the deivce over USB). But

Solar charging of meshtastic devices

Poor nRF52 thread got sidetracked, so let''s start a specific one for this subject of eternal controversy. The requirement is concurrent charging of one lithium or lifepo4 cell while simultaneously powering the meshtastic device. About linear chargers: I think that linear chargers such as the bq24210 or the adafruit board would do good enough in this use case. If you have

Meshtastic Pro and Ultimate Solar Radio Nodes by DSCustoms

This is a set of files to make a complete Meshtastic Pro or Ultimate solar node. To make them, you will need to print one of the Main Body files, depending on if you want to use an SMA or N-Male antenna base. Then you need to print a panel base to match whatever solar panel you want to use. I''m including three sizes, which are fairly easy to match. You''ll also need a double

(Noob question) What kind of battery should I get for RAK

I bought the case with a solar panel inside the kit on their website. Obviously I would love to be able to charge the battery with that, I have no knowledge of batteries but I am pretty sure there is a limit for a small panel like that to charge anything.

Solar node providing store and forward 24/7

As I understand it, store and forward (S&F) is a function of a node that means it can keep messages that arrived and re-transmit them to you on request. This makes the Mesh better at getting messages through to you even if your node was out of range or down when the messages were sent. S&F has to be activated in the S&F node in the "module" settings.
