Builds This is the builds section. There are two categories: Community and Personal .
Community builds are ones that service the broader Meshtastic community, with some examples being:
self-sustaining deployments on public/private lands Home-based long-range repeaters and more… Personal builds are ones that are solely consumed by an individual for their own enjoyment/use.

Magnetic Sticky Node A simple node that can be mounted just about anywhere metal and lasts for a couple days on charge

This build uses a Waveshare RP2040-LoRa board, with a INA219 for voltage and current monitoring, and a spare 850mAh battery (similar ones found here and here ) (that provides about two days of runtime) paired with a TC4056A battery charging module .
This setup is currently using the case that a Heltec V3 board came in, but will be upgraded to a 3D printed case in time. The magnets were spares, but similar ones can be found here .
NOTE This build is using a
fork of the main firmware in order to allow the INA219 board to be the voltage sensor.
