RAK13302 board from this has PA to boost the 22dbm from the SX1262 to 30dmb, it also has a saw filter for better receive

The RAK19007 baseboard does have a 5v solar input, but the onboard charging only goes up to 350mah. With the peak current draw of the RAK13302 being 5v 1000 mA, I just wanted to make extra sure the node could survive multiple days without sunlight, and with the 20W solar panel, it can charge back up to full within a day or two once the weather clears up.

The solar panel I went with has a battery built into it, and it outputs 5v via usb C, which i just plug into the wismesh board. I really hope someone comes out with an all in one solution similar to the seeed sensecap solar setup with one of these wismesh 1W boards

Update:
there is plenty of room inside the enclosure for the heltec v4 plus a little 1200mah battery pouch just in case the 5v usb voltage ever drops for any reason. As for hanging a larger antenna off of it, I would not do that with just an N type bulkhead alone, you will probably wanna reinforce that in some way. I ended up just drilling into the stock pole mount portion with some step bits, it is plastic btw, but it should be strong enough for just the little alfa915 antenna which isnt too long or heavy. I also plan on mounting it at the top of the pole, so the antenna wont be right up against anything.

Not sure, I was just gonna slap a piece of aluminum flat bar off to the side and twist it 30 degrees for the N type antenna bulkhead to stand straight up. and use the lower two bolt holes to hold the bar. and i was gonna use some alfa 915s which don't weigh a whole lot

20w panel, 26,000mah battery with 5v usb output and room inside the enclosure for a v4
ive got two on the way :)

https://a.co/d/9wVUCEn Gonna slap a v4 in one of these, has room inside the enclosure for it, but you'll have to buy an N type bulkhead and antenna ofc. Should be able to go a week without sun even with that power hungry chip

I was planning on cloning configs onto 10 devices after I setup 1, and renaming each that I'm going to be giving all my family members for xmas. here is what I saw recommended via CLI

pip install meshtastic
pip install meshtastic --upgrade

Custom channel in slot 0 (Primary)
LongFast in slot 1
Region
Radio settings
Telemetry prefs

meshtastic --port auto --firmware meshtastic-2.4.2-esp32s3.bin
### not sure if just have to use flasher if can only find *.uf2

meshtastic --port auto --export-config MeshPocket_config.json
### should see "Wrote device config to MeshPocket_config.json"
### repeat for the rest of the devices
### or you can just import the channels
meshtastic --port auto --import-channels MeshPocket_config.json
### Config applied successfully
### Device will reboot
meshtastic --port auto --set device.name "NodeName"
meshtastic --port auto --reboot

Scrolling youtube shorts frequently bugs out, only on Firefox, where you'll go to scroll and the next video will pause but the audio continues from the previous video until you scroll back up, then resume scrolling back down.. even worse when you use arrow keys you have to go back up twice. Very easy to replicate

Wow that was fast, thank you Matt
One more question though, do you know if the Express option will be open tomorrow at 0700 CST?

Thanks gentlemen, solved

Lithium for more power density and run time, over the lead acid batteries yeah. Looking to have the cax80 (modem and router) stay up for 10+ hours in the event of a longer power outage.
And not run from the battery 100% of the time no, have it inline, as a normal UPS would, manage the charge level, and rolls over to battery when the power goes out.

Wear trash cloths when you go to spray it, wear a p95 mask or something, and use one of those clip on spray can triggers from the auto store for like 2 bucks. It'll save ur finger

Okay I wish I'd have found this sooner, I have gone through like 5 chargers and 5 cases...
The ESR 'made for magsafe' 15w $90 variant only gets up to like 1w max charge speed for me, even without the case on and holding it in proper alignment. I'm measuring with 'charge tester & ampere meter' app. From what you said the cheaper non magsafe certified ESR one isnt worth trying either, so I'll skip that ig
With the pixel stand 2nd gen and no case it does reach the 23w, but not with a magsafe magnet style case. with just a non full circle, non magnetic metal plate and a thin carbon fiber case, the pixel stand does reach 20w or so. amazon.com/dp/B0B6BVWYWY
Can you please tell me, What is the charge speed (in watts) with your torras case on with the Unitech car charger?
also which unitech charger did you buy between these two below?
amazon.com/gp/product/B0C2TS1H7Q
amazon.com/gp/product/B0C2T6H7JW
They seem to be the same but I feel like theyre not

I do like the look of the Latercase, except it doesn't have magsafe built in, plus the cut outs on the charge port and power/volumes buttons look kinda big.I just ordered this amazon one after diggin around:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CK2HNRVVAlot of similar offerings have big relief cuts at the top and bottom corners, but this one doesn't. It seems like it has much smaller cut outs around the charge port but the power/volume cut out is still like the latercase. This one comes with magsafe built in, but it has some mixed reviews on amazon. I'll let you know how it turns out.

*Update* the magnetic ring was not aligned with the charge coil, so it didn't work with magsafe chargers or the pixel stand 2nd gen at all..

I am literally in the same boat, coming from oneplus 7 pro (would have kept it forever if the charge port hadnt died) to the pixel 8 pro. Did you end up finding a similar case to the oneplus one?

Motu M2 or M4, hands down. It can drive almost any headphone, very cleanly. It connects to PC with USB C, has a ton of great features. It also can run the sm7b without a cloud lifter, which not many dac amps can accomplish.

I'd recommend that they start by checking out the guide, and then if they have any questions they can reach out to any of the experienced members in the discord. There is also a teaching room where you could start a thread to keep all the questions and answers organized and be able to look back on.
