       @amar That's awesome and really creative!Never thought about that approach at all - use the GPIO for other stuff. That opens up a whole new set of usecases :DOne thing, is that ESP32 based devices is quite powerhungry, it might drain the battery quite fast.

       @selea for now this is POC, will play a bit more with deep sleep, or if needed replace it with something else if this is not working good enough. With those pins exposed as RX and TX UART, you can connect whatever you want to it, as long as it has small format and can fit the case. Need also to see how much solar will help here when both devices are working together.

       @amar That's smart - then you can attach some smarter weather sensors too (future usecase for me!)

       @amar Ruskigt bra resultat, hur länge räcker batteriet nu i din solnod?

       @selea just nu oklart, har inte haft problem att jag behövde ladda den separat. Den sitter på 90% hela tiden, jag tror pga begränsning av laddning så den laddar inte mer än 90% utan bara sitter där, men som lägst den var ner på 85% och sen tillbaka till 90

       @amar Ja precis, meshcore begränsar den till 90% tillskillnad ifrån meshtastic som körde upp den till 100% - bättre i längden :)Du får släppa den egna fork av meshcore snart ju!

       @selea hehe, snart. Tänkt lägga det här på github så andra kan få nytta av det. Kanske göra något blogpost eller nåt sen
