Il mio primo nodo #meshtastic è arrivato. 🎉

Non mi aspettavo fosse così piccolo. 😅

Il primo problemino, appena aperta la scatola. Come falshare il firmware senza usare Chrome/Edge a causa della mia avversione a questi due browser?

#heltecv3

Hello #meshtastic and #meshcore yes hi I have ordered a #heltecv3 because cheap. Which of you should I put on it when I get it and why?
Having easily got #meshcore working on #HeltecV3, I'm having ALL sorts of issues trying to get #meshtastic working on my two devices. I can't connect to either via #Bluetooth (connects then drops) but I have managed to get one of them to connect via WiFi so I can power it it up independently of phone/computer. 2nd device is stubbornly refusing to connect to my WiFi :-(
@_elena from my personal experience: the #HeltecV3 is not fit for battery use. It simply draws to much current. I am happy with a #HeltecT114. The very same battery that lasts around 16 hrs in the V3 now lasts nearly two weeks.
Using a #steamdeck to flash #meshtastic nodes? Sure. 3 #SeeedXIAO , 2 #HeltecV3 , and an older #tdeck. Then to find places to set them up for coverage in the #Aberdeen area. After the snow...after

My #LoRa #Meshtastic device (#HeltecV3 ESP32) doesn’t last long enough, ~7 hours (no TX, display off, no sensors), that’s why i was considering getting a #HeltecT114, but supply seems low.

Maybe they are working on a new version?

Het lijkt er op dat mijn #LORA #HeltecV3 vandaag geleverd gaat worden.

Spannend!

Ich denke ja der Transmitter ist defekt.😒 Ich empfange nodes zwischen Den Haag und Leipzig. Aber der Ölberg vor mir und die anderen Nodes vor mir hören mich nicht.

How did I miss the existence of MeshCore for so long? 😇

Looking forward to playing with this. Heltec v3 looks like an easy starter for it. The v4 may have excess power limit issues, but looks good for a go-bag. (If things have got bad enough that this is your main comms, who cares about power issues?)

Planning two devices. First as a BT5 connect to get it running with a phone. Second as a repeater to extend the coverage.
