A solar-powered, weatherproof sensor node that reports over your MeshCore mesh. A rugged outdoor platform with a weatherproof ultrasonic distance sensor — point it at a stream, culvert, tank, or tide line and get continuous level readings relayed across the mesh, no cell service or WiFi required.

What's in the kit:

• rook low-power LoRa board, pre-loaded with MeshCore firmware (915 MHz)
• Weatherproof ultrasonic distance sensor for water-level and distance monitoring
• 3000mAh lithium-ion battery — rides through nights and cloudy stretches
• Solar panel — keeps the battery topped up indefinitely in reasonable sun
• Weatherproof outdoor enclosure

How it works: Mount the node above the water surface (a bridge rail, culvert mouth, or tank lid), aim the sensor downward, and it measures the distance to the surface on a schedule — readings travel over the MeshCore mesh to wherever you are.

• Sensing: ultrasonic ranging, ideal for flood monitoring, tank levels, and tide tracking
• Range: 1–5+ km line-of-sight per mesh hop — extend further with repeaters
• Frequency: 915 MHz (US ISM band)
• Pairs naturally with the Intro to Mesh Radio Kit
