This fully assembled and working Meshtastic node station is the perfect solution for anyone looking to set up a reliable, solar-powered Meshtastic station or router node without the hassle of building and assembling it themselves. Whether you're new to Meshtastic or an advanced user short on time, this product allows you to extend your Meshtastic network with ease.

The station is built on my custom-designed Meshtastic motherboard, featuring the RAK4630 module with a high-efficiency MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) solar charger for solar panels with the working voltage from 7 V to 30 V. Every station is tested and calibrated to ensure it works flawlessly right out of the box.

I build each Meshtastic station afther your order, starting the printing and assembly process only after it is placed. This ensures minimal material waste and allows me to customize the product to meet your specifications. Please allow up to 4 days for assembly, testing, and shipping.

Additionally, I can customize the station to fit different antenna pole diameters, ranging from 20 mm to 50 mm, ensuring compatibility with your setup. Please, choose the right diameter of your antenna pole.

Features

1. Plug-and-Play Operation: This node arrives fully configured, ready to deploy. Just connect your solar panel and battery, and you're good to go.
2. Solar-Powered with MPPT: The integrated MPPT charger maximizes energy harvested from your solar panel, ensuring optimal performance even in challenging weather conditions.
3. Pre-Programmed with Meshtastic Firmware: No need for flashing or complex setup. The station is preloaded with the latest stable Meshtastic firmware, and firmware updates can be performed easily via USB.
4. Robust Enclosure for Outdoor Use: The station is housed in a durable, weather-resistant enclosure with IP-rated connectors to ensure reliable operation in various environments.
5. Highly Configurable: Built for flexibility, the station supports a wide range of batteries and solar panels, allowing you to tailor it to your specific needs.
6. DIY-Friendly Design: If you'd like to create your own station, you can access the detailed assembly guide and 3D-printed parts published on my website.

Technical Specifications

• Motherboard: Custom PCB with RAK4630 module for 868 MHz (Europe frequency).
• Solar Input: MPPT charger for 7 V to 30 V solar panels.
• Battery Compatibility: Li-Ion, LiPo, LiFePO4 or LTO batteries (or any lithium based batteries with the voltage less stan 5.6 V)
• Enclosure Dimensions: 120 mm x 80 mm x 50 mm (approx.)
  
• Connectivity:
  
  • LoRa for long-range communication
    
  • USB-C for programming (optional)
  • UART for connecting to your application
  • I2C for connecting any supported sensor

Please note: If you choose an LTO battery, one I2C connector will be used for battery connection. You can enable power metrics in the telemetry settings of the Meshtastic firmware to monitor the battery's current and voltage.

Firmware compatibility

The Meshtastic Motherboard used in this station is electrically compatible with the RAK4631, so any firmware running on that board will work on the Meshtastic Motherboard. I have already tested the following projects:

• Meshtastic (any version)
• MeshCore (all variants work: Repeater, Room Server, and Companion Radio)
• Reticulum (tested by a customer, RNode firmware)

Package Includes

• Fully assembled Meshtastic station with a 10 W solar panel and 3 Ah Li-Pol or 3.9 Ah LTO battery.
• External RP-SMA antenna for 868 MHz (only for variant with the SMA connector).
• Quick start guide.

Please note: If you choose the N connector, an antenna will not be included in the package. Antennas with this connector are quite large and difficult to ship. Choose this option only if you are an experienced user and plan to use your own antenna.

Applications

• Expanding existing Meshtastic networks
  
• Community mesh networks in urban or rural areas
  
• Solar-powered nodes for off-grid communication
  
• Emergency and disaster-preparedness systems
  

Why Choose This Product?

Building a Meshtastic station from scratch can be rewarding, but it requires time, tools, and expertise. By choosing this fully assembled solar node station, you get a tested solution that is easy to install. Focus on exploring, expanding your network, or helping your community stay connected – without worrying about assembly or troubleshooting.

I published the schematics, 3D model, and detailed information about the Meshtastic Motherboard. All the 3D-printed parts are also available on Printables. You can modify, fix, or completely rebuild this station yourself later if needed.
