(From original) Uses the 60LM Harbor Breeze solar light as a base. and passes the antenna pigtail through the existing holes in the panel case. Make sure to waterproof the cable hole after passing through the antenna wire.
Here's the guide: RAK WisBlock Harbor Breeze Solar Light Enclosure Hack | Meshtastic
And the light: Harbor Breeze 60LM Solar Flood Light 0.6-Watt Black Solar LED Flood Light in the Spot & Flood Lights department at Lowes.com
Notes:
- Improvements have been made since the guide, check my photos for tips from the discord to use the solar board LED+/- to power the node.
- There's another improvement using 2x schottky diodes as a voltage drop to keep the battery from charging to 100%. This extends li-ion batteries significantly and is recommended! In series with the solar board from the battery + place 2x diodes in parallel, but inverted directions (so current can flow in both directions and you get a voltage drop across it). Sorry my instructions are poor maybe i can update this later (-:
- I've updated my photos to match the improvements!
Shoutout to @hyper_sphere @Dubhouze-Travis @Yukine @TheSFWAct and others for these mods!
