Tiny Packet Network (TPN) Node Reference Platform

I completed the build of three (3) Tiny Packet Network (TPN) Nodes. Each node is on a Plexiglas platform with white door handles so they can be stacked easily. The platform has the Arduino UNO board and a small proto-board. The proto-board contains the 433 Mhz transmitter and receiver modules a NeoPixel and a potentiometer connected to the A0 analog port on the UNO. These nodes will be used to further the development of the distributed power nodes. The potentiometer can be used to set a battery level and the NeoPixels by color will reflect what each node is doing (e.g. RED = providing power, GREEN = receiving power, WHITE = standby (no action), YELLOW = error, etc.)
