Real world power consumption and restoration of usb power

[giqcass]

@Jdogherman

Well since we are voiding warenties it would not be impossible to create a simple watchdog circuit to push the power button after the power is restored.

LOL Great minds. The extra button press I sugested was to make sure everything was reset properly.

Large scale deployment using public resources in a single region

I love the idea and would like to do a smaller scale implementation with at least 2 permanently placed nodes. This would cover most or all of our very small town. My biggest issue with placing a permanent node is that if the mesh powers off due to power loss it stays off. I would like to see it restart automatically when power is restored. We don’t get a lot of sunlight here in Michigan so even with solar I can’t guarantee reliable power easily. I have a place I want to stick a permanent nod…
