Description

This is being rapidly prototyped. It is NOT a new LoRA / microcontroller... the prototype has a plug-in for the HelTec WiFi LoRa 32 (V3). It is intended to provide high-power ( 12v, 20A ) control circuits as well as manage multiple batteries ( 2.5Ah on-board) via the meshtastic framework. Meshtastic developers will enjoy having a supported LoRa enabled microcontroller already contained in a compact battery / management solution to power their projects. The original use case was: power an emergency radio (ham radio in particular) repeater ... but be able to manage power and monitor battery health remotely (LoRA). I could use help / guidance from the community on how we can leverage the serial-parallel ( 74LS595 ) as a module.
