You will need:

  • Solar yard light from Harbor Freight

  • a drill and bits for antenna mounting hole

  • 4x m3 x 4 socket head screws (heltec v3 version)

  • m4 x 16 to 20 button or socket head screw

  • m4 nut

This is the first release version of a repeater case for mesh radios (MeshCore, Meshtastic) that inserts into an old satellite dish mount. It uses a solar panel and battery from a solar yard light from harbor freight. It has a modular board mount system, though right now I only have one mounting frame for the heltec v3. I am working on mounting frames for RAK Wisblock boards.

I recommend using support for the threads, upper board frame, and antenna mounting hole. I have gotten usable prints with no support though. 

If there is interest, I will continue to update this with more board frames and test more popular solar panels from the home depot and lowes solar yard lights.
