The Store and Forward Node Project present a cutting-edge solution to enhance the capabilities of the Black Rock Forest WiFi Mesh network by offering network data loggers for environmental sensors. These Store and Forward nodes, built on ESP32-based WiFi chips, are strategically positioned throughout the forest. They play a crucial role in recording sensor data, storing it locally, and forwarding it across the network until it reaches the central Store and Forward server in the cloud.
