$25 low power dev board with solar: Rak4630 (now included in regular builds)

I just took a look at their wifi module. They are essentially running some custom code on a ESP32 to provide “AT style” serial port commands for doing wifi from the nrf52.

I think supporting that module would be lot of work for little benefit (because you’d lose the main benefit of the nrf52 - which is super low power consumption). So I won’t be spending time to write code for that module (if someone else wants to that would be great).

One feature that will be coming: the android app will “gateway” MQTT packets for meshtastic-devices. So nrf52/esp32s with just a BLE/USB connection to android will have ‘full’ internet connectivity and provide forwarding for their mesh.
