Meshtastic Non-Magnetic Roof Node Build

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

In the previous build i made the Magnetic roof node and i received some emails about what to do if their vehicle was not made out of ferrous metal.

I'd already been kind of working on this for the last few weeks so here it is.

Links to the parts it took to build this.
