Got my Meshtastic RAKwireless solar nodes up and running! One is in place and covering the Southern part of the city and the next is going on the North side. Had a few nights of -5C and barely any drop in battery level overnight. Waiting for -20C to see how it goes. Very impressed so far. Going to be adding temperature, humidity and barometer sensors to them soon. It will be interesting to see what the temps do inside the enclosures over the winter. (water bottle for scale, antenna is just for testing, I've got a better 5.8 dB one for outside) https://i.nostr.build/fMGSTKkybIqhJQZK.jpg #Meshtastic #LoRa #MeshNetworking
GPS set to fixed to save battery. Went with seperate sensors and not the environmental one as it draws more power. I'll keep a lookout to see. Thanks.

One is on the roof of a office shop and the other one will hopefully go on a private tower or on private land. Not likely to be played with at all, and easily accessible.
