💥New 2024 Off-Grid Solar Meshtastic Build💥

Would Definitely be interested in a complete ready to run out the box build. I'm sure a lot of people would actually prefer that.

I want you to know, I paid 100$ each for four Gotenna's, then they stopped all android support and turned their company into a military contractor. This meshtastic project doesn't rely on a company like that, which is amazing. I will buy 4 kits this summer when I have more time for radio experiments. Hopefully you're also shipping to Canada.

Not only is this an upgrade, the video production quality is amazing! The only thing I'm missing is your etsy piece. Yes please!

I'd definitely be interested in purchasing a kit, in fact if you offered the complete set up you have shown in this video, I would happily buy the complete set up.

This is great. I've been overwhelmed by meshtastic but you have made it so simple. Thank you!

Would absolutely purchase some of your kits if your make more. Thank you for the helpful videos. A tornado separating my wife and I for a couple hours with the grid down was my final wakeup call to get a Mesh Network setup at least for our immediate area. Your videos have helped me figure a lot out and get started with 2 T-Beams for testing/learning and eventual mobile applications. And now these solar videos have paved the way for setting up a home station and eventually nodes at strategic locations throughout town.

Thank you so much for all the work you do. I will definitely be purchasing a few of these when they're back in stock.

I will be ordering 2 of your mounting plates with the 3 battery mounts. You are doing great work and I have almost everything to start building my nodes. Thanks!!

Very interested in the kits. I know a number of people who want to get into meshtastic & who would likely buy a kit that includes EVERYTHING (or as close to it as possible) needed. I've been compiling a bill of materials but I'd much rather send them a single link and support someone who is involved in the project.

Man, I wish I could justify getting into a meshtastic setup! I just have no real use case for it to justify the expense. This is BY FAR the cleanest build I have seen yet for a solar powered node. Your attention to detail is fantastic.

A very clean build, I really like the extended battery pack that in theory would allow for a rubber heating pad to be included for use in cold areas.

I am.*digging* on your Meshtastic solar setup! Getting out just by sitting it in the window. Can't wait to affix it higher. Thanks so much, Kevin.

Love that you use the Anchorage ATC traffic for your intro. 👍

Now THIS is what I call an upgrade

Awesome videos. Yes for the bracket with two battery holders.

I'm very thankful for this and hope to see more in the future. I'm also interested to see what a complete build would costs with shipping. 👍

Just what I was looking for. Subscribed

This is a very professional looking build! Kudos on your craftmanship!

For sure interested in that kit! Looking to build one so thanks for the info you have been putting out.

All good stuff, but for me, the most useful info in this video was the brief mention of the extended Bluetooth range. I was thinking I'd need to get a Meshtastic transceiver with WiFi to pole mount it and access it from inside the house. Either that, or have a separate Meshtastic Bluetooth node inside the house that acts as a bridge between the pole mounted solar powered Meshtastic transceiver and a Bluetooth tablet. As soon as the WisBlock starter kit is in stock, I'll order a couple and start experimenting. Until then, I'll watch the rest of your excellent videos. Kudos to you for selling kits to help others get started. I currently 3D print everything. I have a CNC shop that I never use. Rather than laser cutting an acrylic adapter board to attach to an outside enclosure from Amazon that I had to drill and modify, I'll CAD a custom enclosure that has internal mounting bosses for everything, an antenna hole on the bottom, a hole on the bottom for a vapor vent plug, a cutout and mounts for the solar panel, a C clamp for mounting to a PVC pole mast, etc. It's a completely custom solution that is much easier to assemble and install, for much lower cost. When I get around to designing this, I'll upload it to Thingiverse and Printables so others can print their own.
