High power 1W DIY hardware

Development Hardware
1

I just wanted to share my hardware design I’ve been working on in my spare time. I’m not an engineer so forgive me if things are crude.
I wanted to have a 1W radio with various options such as rotary encoder for canned messages and temp/hum sensor. I call it MeshAdventurer as I designed it to be used for offroading (takes 12v input). works great on a motorcycle or in your vehicle. All the files to make your own are at my github here:

I’ve looked everywhere and I cannot find the bill of materials… hoping not to lose anything by just reading off of the schematic, could someone please post the link to the bom?
Looks like a really fun project to make! Thanks for posting!

The BOM is on my GitHub page under PCB and then latest version …

Lol I saw that and didn’t recognize it for what it was. I had a feeling I was being dense!
Thx

Not a problem, I need to do a better job with the instructions and neaten things up a bit. Time is an elusive thing :crazy_face:

Is development for this ongoing? Any results on the functionality of the current PCB?

I am thinking of giving this a go.
