My solar powered #meshtastic outdoor router in progress.

Today I soldered everything together and will test how efficient this setup is.

It's a 5v solar panel with a charge module and a 18650 battery connected via USB with 0.9-5v mobile booster. This should step in if available and load the internal 18650 battery.

I use TBeam v1.1 esp32 for this project with bt, wifi, lora and GPS included. For the outdoor solution, bt and wifi gets disabled.

Last two days i tested #meshtastic solution for Text and GPS. Urban it works very well without sight up to 1km range.

3x Tbeam v1.1 was used for testing, one in low power router mode. Meshtastic android app works great.

Everything build from source.
