Node now installed in the pole mount enclosure. I originally wanted the antenna facing down to avoid water getting in but that wasn’t really possible to do with this enclosure due to the way the cable entrance holes are drilled so it may need some silicon and self amalgamating tape around the antenna connector to ensure that it is waterproof. #meshtastic

Testing a new Meshtastic node. The plan for this one is to have it mounted on a tower where it will be powered by PoE from a Netonix switch (similar to the one shown) so I’ve confirmed that it powers up using the 48V passive PoE that these switches can supply. The node is using the RAK Wireless RAK4631 core module on the RAK19009 power slot baseboard and the RAK19017 PoE module. I’ve got a small pole mount enclosure to mount it in now that I know it will work. #meshtastic
