New #meshtastic project: trying to reuse an outdoor solar light as a node to see if it actually works:
https://meshtastic.org/docs/community/enclosures/rak/harbor-breeze-solar-hack/
I ordered two lights from Lowe's last week and some external antennas on Amazon.
I already have some mini radios from Rokland I panic bought before the tariffs.
Picked up some gorilla brand waterproof caulking at the hardware store for $8 after work today.
Going to assemble it and see how the battery holds up in my partially shady back yard.
If this works it easily could be a really low cost solar node for under $50.
