LoRa Mailbox Receiver

IMPORTANT - READ POWER ADAPTER INFO BEFORE ASSEMBLING - See parts list below RECEIVER MODULE For sender module: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3593743 Every day when I return home for lunch, I stop at the mailbox without fail. The mailman usually hasn't arrived yet and there's no mail to pick up, so I have to wait until the end of the day again. If the mailman has already passed but I don't receive any mail that day, I still need to check the mailbox again at the end of the day. Even if my wife picks up the mail before I get home, I still make a habit of stopping by for nothing. So I came up with the idea of creating a device to solve this problem. The device works by detecting whether the main front panel is open or just my box door. It then sends a LoRa signal to my receiver in the house, which is about 300 feet away from the community mailbox.
