Alright fellow nerds!
I put a BME280 environmental sensor in my Meshtastic node without really reading the data sheet like I should have. This bad unit ESTIMATES temperature? Uh. Weak!
What's a good sensor to wire up to a node for this kind of thing? I just want to put it outside and have it feed me a little bit of data. Temp, pressure, humidity, etc.
Thoughts?

Seriously, what's the deal with Traceroute?
I’ve been trying to use it in my area to get a better idea of what path my packets are taking through the local mesh from different locations, seeing what links are weak and where another repeater might be useful. But I swear it NEVER works. If there is more than a single hop in between me and my target node (whether it’s one I own or not), I never ever get a response. Nodes will be sending me power/environment information actively, and I get it A-OK, but when I try to traceroute-nada. Once, i mean ONCE, I got a 2-hop response. And I run all my nodes at 7hop TTL since it’s very low traffic around here, so it’s not that. My local mesh is not super dense, but messages still go through about 80-90% of the time, so why is the Traceroute module so bad?
