sooo this weekend I finally flashed #Meshtastic onto the #pager 🙌

HOT TIP, when they say "check that your cable isn't power-only", THERE'S A REASON THEY SAY THAT. if it doesn't work, check your cable.. swap it out.. try a different one... Ask me how I know 🙃

Anyway, once that was done, I was shocked to find that I was able to see 4-8 nodes online at any given point!

There's still SO much I don't know, but this is a fun little starter device IMHO.

@SarraceniaWilds It's a super fun little device!!

Also, I've heard from others that "hmm, I can't see any nodes..." is an entry point to the dangerous "just one more node.. " path... 😅

@SarraceniaWilds Oh so you're way ahead of me then and know the struggle first-hand 😁

I've been eyeing a v3, t114, or a t-echo for my next one....

I should never have gone down this rabbit hole
