Hi everyone, in the past year i've been developing a new board to use with meshtastic and i'd like to have it supported officially by the firmware. I started by making a google form to ask what the local community would have liked to have on a new device and then worked on trying to make it come true. We have been testing the prototypes for some months now and i will soon have a new batch produced with fixes and improvements. It was developed to satisfy both remote location and daily portable use cases, while trying to keep costs low. Please keep in mind that i'm just a student and this is basically my first time designing a pcb, but it works and i'm open to constructive criticism.
A little list of specs (will do a more complete datasheet asap):
50x70mm footprint and mounting holes corresponding to common 50x70 perfboard, NRF52840, eByte E22900M22S (Will also come with other frequencies), MPPT solar charger with selectable and adjustable voltage 5v,12v,18v; support for gps, buzzer, oled or e-ink display, 10 gpios, hardware watchdog, integrated INA219, extra flash memory.
Let me know if some edits to the PR or code need to be made :)
Please note that these are pictures of the prototypes and final product will be slightly different, although ports placement and general size are the same

…efined a specific WD_EN pin instead for better clarity. Will do a bit more testing asap to make sure everything still works as intended :)
