So mein erster Versuch ein #SolarNode in funktionstüchtig zu bauen. Sofern morgen die Baumärkte wieder auf haben kann ich das Solarpanel auch an den Kasten schrauben :D
Danach muss ich mal schauen wie es aussieht mit einer Dachmontage. Leider hat das Haus keine alte Außenantenne oder eine hoch hängende Satellitenschüssel :/
Allerdings ist beim Schornstein eine Gittertreppenstufen wo man es evtl. festmachen könnte.

Nachtrag:
Habs ans laufen bekommen. Es lag echt an dem bescheidenem Solarpanel.Hier was ich schlussendlich genommen habe bei dieser funzenden Plug&Play Version.

Reticulum Solar Nodes werden hier in Schwerin wahrscheinlich erst nächstes Jahr relevant, wenn überhaupt. Allerdings ist diese Jahreszeit bereits ideal, um reale Winterwetterbedingungen (Bewölkung, Helligkeit) zu testen.
Da Mark "Sideband" überarbeitet hat und es nun vermutlich einwandfrei mit Raspberry Pi OS 13 funktioniert, kann ich dafür einen Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W verwenden, den ich letzte Woche bestellt habe. Außerdem wollte ich heute einen RAK 4631 bestellen. (Leider wird mein bevorzugter Faketec noch nicht unterstützt.)
Gut, dass ich vorher in meiner Bastelkiste nachgesehen habe. 😂
Die "Wintertests" beginnen also spätestens am Wochenende. ⛄⛄⛄

A #rnode build for #reticulum using a #raspberrypi5 and #geekwormx1206 #ups for a #carnode or #solarnode
https://www.loramesh.org/subpages/upsrnode/upsrnode.html
Running #meshchat , four #liion #21700 5000 mAh batteries seem to run the #rak4631 and Pi for at least 24 hours. The device can be re-charged using #usbc or 9 to 18 V DC at up to 3 A via a jack or other connector. The rnode shuts down cleanly when batteries run out & re-starts when power is back, whereupon the batteries charge at the same time in #passthroughcharging -

With N = at least 2 #meshtastic alternatives sprouting e.g.
#meshcore and
#rnodes using #reticulum
it seems that a #solarnode setup is going to need a solar power source and N power outputs from that to N nodes, each one running the #firmware for each protocol.
Now we need a protocol with in-built #ota #overtheairupdate please! -

@gafu Thanks. This is a problem also for the RAK boards using the #MeshtasticFirmware #meshtastic
I will try #reticulum #rnode with #RasperryPiZero #RaspberryPiPico , or similar, setup to see if those reboot on #brownout , in which case that alone would be a reason to swap for making a #solarnode -
I am hearing that the #heltec #t114 v2 as a #solarnode can show critical error 12 and permanently illuminated green leb with flash corruption, perhaps due to under voltage when battery in low charge state in some #solarnode setups. Anyone get this error or behaviour also? Any firmwear or other fixes known or required? Thanks. #meshtastic

@pimentoad I use one atop a 10m #spiderbeam running on a totally over the top #LiFePO solar setup passed up by 15m usb cable. Not impressed by the range I get & a Station G2 is what I next want to put up. Solar powering the #T3S3 was a challenge.

I venture to post an oddity here
https://meshtastic.discourse.group/t/solar-store-forward-pole-node-testing-24-7-operation/14956
concerning the use of #usbc to #usba adapters and the effect that can have. The section in question is "Testing using USB C input via USB A output from solar panel to prevent drain of battery by the panel" in this #meshtastic #solarnode build test. If anyone can predict if my tests will fail, that would save me time and make me learn even more than I think I have. #usbc4 #usb #usb3 -

I am testing an open-source circuit design (https://meshtastic.discourse.group/t/rak-4631-solar-repeater/7694/83) for solar charging a RAK node, the aim of the circuit being to make the node re-start automatically if the battery is re-charged by the sun after having been flat (#brownout). Build details here https://meshtastic.discourse.group/t/rak-4631-solar-repeater/7694/86 with test results not in yet.... takes time to drain the battery and see if it re-starts. For now, it is just nice and compact. #meshtastic #solarnode #pcb #rak

#meshtastic #solarnode After several fails I managed to build a solar node that starts up again if it runs out of juice. Long-term test is in progress. The node reports the solar panel voltage and current, as well as the temperature and humidity in the box. It can be carried around in a small bag.
