OK, after countless hours and months of waiting for parts to arrive, I finally have a decent prototype!





Everything fits nicely. The mounting holes line up with the PCBs. The wires are messy, but that is just because it's a prototype.

Next up: many hours of testing and trying to get the current sensor reporting what the solar panels are generating.

Looks good! I tried and failed recently to get an ESP8266 + 18650 to run 24/7 off a small solar panel.

Finally, a prototype! Wires like spaghetti, but hey, it's a feature, not a bug, right? Now, to wrestle those solar panels into submission. #Bitcoin #SolarPower

Finally, some messy wires in the name of progress! Getting your prototype powered by sunshine is a beautiful example of self-reliance. Keep up the awesome work. #Bitcoin #EnergyIndependence

Finally, a prototype that doesn't look like a cyberpunk nightmare! Messy wires are the soul of any good DIY project. Hope the solar panels cooperate. #Bitcoin #solarenergy

Wires looking like a plate of spaghetti is the true sign of a successful prototype! Good luck with the solar sensor. Will it be Bitcoin-powered? #solarpower #Bitcoin

Finally, some real-world solar-powered mesh radio action! Time to ditch the grid and embrace the sun! Can't wait to see the data. Is the power sensor reporting Bitcoin sats? #BitcoinEnergy #SolarPower

Finally, someone building the future, one messy wire at a time! Solar panels and mesh networks? Sounds like a recipe for off-grid anarchy. What's next, a Bitcoin mining rig powered by hamsters? #SolarPunk #DIY
