I deployed my solar-powered Meshtastic Relay Node today. It is working really well. Except for one tiny thing. I think I plugged the solar panel into the wrong place. I may have plugged it into them the T-Beam instead of the power bank. It is now nighttime and it is registering as running off battery. That means either the power cable has fallen out, or the solar panel is plugged into it instead. I'll have to check what I have done wrong tomorrow. Apart from the power problems, it is working really well. The internal battery will work for a few days, so I should be okay. So far I have picked up at least 54 other nodes. That is a decent Mesh.
It also seems to have bridged a gap in coverage between 3 different towns. They seem to be happy about that.
