  • Today I'll be building a solar powered LoRa signal repeater to extend the range of my LoRa network. This can easily be used as the basis for a LoRa mesh network with a bit of extra code and additional repeaters.
    Even if you're not into LoRa networks all of the solar power hardware in this video can be used for any off-the-grid electronics projects or IoT nodes!
    CORRECTION: The large solar panel is 10 watts and not *5 watts*.

    Correction: The RadioHead library DOES implement those methods now via: setSpreadingFactor, setSignalBandwidth, and setCodingRate4. So those functions aren't necessary with recent releases of RH.

    Of course we're interested in the source code !!

    Excellent project buddy. It gave me a basis for solving a distance problem. Thank you for sharing! Congratulations!

    Great project! I’m trying the same with the ttgo lora board. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for the video, I was searching for an off-grid soloar system to power my LoRa ESP32 APRS repeater. This video gives me some guiding. Not exactly sure what a good and cheap system is to power the system in the dark winter days.

    Mysensors project is the best implementation of Lora RH. All addressing, repeating, iot gateway, p2p mode, payload, message confirmation etc is done for you.

    I just found your project. I'm thinking about doing this over this weekend. I have 433tx and 433rx boards. I'll see about doing a video about it...

    Your videos are underrated; you need more visibility. I hope to see more.

    The first question that came to my mind was whether or not messages could be encrypted for privacy.

    Will this LoRa Board work as a repeater for Walkie Talkie/Ham and GSM communication?

    Would love a copy of your code. Thx.

    Did you do the off grid messaging system, I’m working on this project now with a few tweaks

    Cool Idea! Is there any chance that I can get a copy of the code?
