A compact lightweight 2W solar repeater for Meshtastic. Multiple mounting options are available including a tripod option with included antenna mount. There are a number of requirements to build this node. Specifically:
- Compatible with two HTC2265 LTO batteries
- Designed to use the MCSBC-SVR solar battery charger
- A cable must be soldered to the solar panel
- Solar panel must be glued to the frame
Purchase List
- 2W Solar Panel
- 1' 2p round cable 22 gauge
- Threaded inserts: "M3x5.0x6.0"
- Antenna pigtail: "N WF to IPEX1F"", 15cm (use SMA pigtail with Tripod Mount)
- PG7 cable gland
- U-bolt clamp
- (3) ¼" x 3/4" bolts
- (3) ¼" washers
- (3) ¼" Lock nuts
- Dow Corning 795
- Optional: Tripod Mount
- Optional: 1' SMA to N-Type cable
NOTE: the white node displays an antenna directly connected to the node. This was for temporary testing purposes. I recommend using a coax cable and attaching the antenna on a pole or other vertical surface. See other photo showing the node mounted to a pole.
The cover photo (black enclosure) displays a previous version that is very similar to this version. The only difference is the solar panel and size. It's included here to showcase the tripod mount option.
