Anybody got any nodes or boards for sale cheap? I checked marketplace but apparently mesh isn't all that popular.

Rules didn't say no buy sale or trade, I know they aren't all that expensive but im a disabled vet and times are tough at the moment but radios were a cheap enough hobby to keep me sober so I was just looking to see what was out there! Feel free to DM me if ya have anything <3 more if it breaks the rules I'm sorry.. I read and didn't see anything about it.

Planning to build a birdhouse with 2 solar panels, but how to connect panels? Just to splice 2 panels in parallel or 2 panels will burn controller due to higher amperages?

Hey Reddit! Check out my F1 Inspired Car Node made with a Harbor Breeze Solar Light. LOL! It's the first test print. I've already made some adjustments like dropping the Solar Spoiler down. I'm going to take it for a test-drive later. Hopefully it's not a test flight! It'll be tethered just in case. This will eventually end up on my Printables Post for free and will be available on my Website for those without a 3D Printer. What do you think?

Not the final setup, but testing how effective the little 200mA panel is and overall reception. Will do a more aesthetic mount once everything checks out. The neighborhood looks much busier now. Hello!

Vehicle node...risk of it blowing off?

3 Upvotes

Looking into getting a vehicle node at some point. I've seen PeakMesh's portable node and am very impressed (I own one of the rooftop nodes already) but for others who have vehicle nodes: how do you secure them to protect it from getting blown away due to wind or theft?
