I originally design this for Meshcore to expend the range my range of home repeater. But I move back to meshtastic so could set my range and performance, now that my area has moved to Meshcore all my solars have been moved to meshcore. I tested this node in the Garden for 8 weeks in the UK weather which rain and more rain and I had no water get into the node. The design of the this node is lower the cost of building the nodes. Should be able to build this for around £30 to £40.
