IMPORTANT: 

The panels are difficult to source so I don't recommend using this model anymore unless you can find the exact panel. I have a new version in the works with a more reliable supplier. 

 

 

My goal was to create a durable solar enclosure with an SMA antenna for use with Meshtastic. It uses three powerful neodymium magnets to securely attach to all types of magnetic-friendly things such as off-road vehicles, metal rooves, and lots more. I attempted to add some degree of water resistance through the use of TPU gaskets although I can't guarantee it works so use it in inclement weather at your own risk. With that said I have had no issues with water intrusion after roughly 3 inches of rain in both a vertical and horizontal position. There may be slight gaps in the areas that apply pressure to the gaskets, this is normal and I've tried to minimize it as much as possible while still keeping pressure on the gaskets.

This uses a 5v 0.8w solar panel which isn't very powerful however its more than enough to run the RAK4631 from my testing. The solar panel size may vary from the manufacturer so there are a few versions to accommodate that. The version that I made in my pictures has a 60x90 solar panel. The battery compartment size is approximately 60x40x12 so it should be able to accommodate any battery smaller than that. 

I think this should be pretty straight forward to assemble but if you have trouble don't hesitate to ask any questions as I will be happy to help. I have provided the STEP files along with the STL and 3MF files to make it easier to remix how you desire. Enjoy!

Tools Required:

  • Printer (duh)
  • Hex drivers
  • Adjustable wrench
  • Soldering iron and solder
  • Crimping tools for ZHR2 (if making your own solar connectors)

Parts List:

* Ensure that the battery and solar polarity is correct or you may damage your board or battery! 

Refer to RAK19007 datasheet if needed, it has lots of useful info!
