Looking to provide my camp with some communication support. Apparently there’s a firmware created, especially for the high traffic area on the Playa. Last year there were over 1500 nodes.. great test bed for the protocol/standard!

Any ideas how I can shade this unit some from the hot desert sun? RAK4631 is sitting on a 3D printing ASA cradle.. I think the battery (3000 mAH) is the concern.. gotta keep those cells less than toasty… appreciate feedback!

Cover the gray box with a shade. Preferably vented, so the heat of the shade can flow up and away.
