Dual node Meshtastic and MeshCore. I think both networks have their benefits, and now I don’t have to choose. We’ll see how two nodes does in the winter. But right now a single solar panel is plenty to keep the battery constantly topped up.

Sick build!
Ive been building a offgridish server i plan to have dual nodes on. 1 meshtastic The other Rnode
I though it would be cool to make the rack have a DIY PDU that i could run off wall power or solar. My plan is to have a rapi 400 run a propagation node for reticulum and have a client for meshtastic, its so much fun to get messages from airplanes :)
I like both technologys antennas are tricky tho :|
Awsome! Yea, I’ve still got a lot to learn about antennas. I’ve been working towards my general HAM license, and antenna design starts to come into play at that point.
I’ve also been trying to incorporate a raspberry pi into another node I’m working on, but it’s a pi zero 2w. I’d like to build a fully off grid, solar powered ADS-B node. The current build is too much for even 3 18650s. Not sure it’ll ever work out. The ultimate goal is a mesh repeater set up with a pi for occasional serial control and updates. We’ll see if I ever get there.
