Part 1 - Meshtastic/Meshcore Harbor Breeze Solar Node - Heltec T096 Build - Electronics

Let's build a Meshtastic or Meshcore Solar Node/Repeater using a $10 Harbor Breeze Solar Light available at Lowe's. We'll be dropping in Heltec's powerful T096 board. Pair it with one of my designed mounts available on Printables.com. CONTENT EDIT: THE HELTEC T096 HAS A BMS BUILT-IN!!! After further research, which I should have done sooner, this awesome little board has a BMS (battery management system) built-in! The T096 is handling the under and over charging. YOU DO NOT NEED THE EXTERNAL BMS. Negative from the Battery cradle can go to the negative (black) of the JST. The positive wire from the switch can go to the positive (red) of the JST.
