Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂Apr 3

A very #MySoCalledSudoLife day.​ This morning I:

  • Created my first cron job (I will look into systemd timers this weekend, just in case)

  • I bought a Heltec v3 kit - so I can try off-grid mesh communication when I'm at my parents' in Italy later this month

    • Thanks for all your help and advice with cron jobs! I really appreciate 🙏

    @elena happy @meshtastic user here! Heltec v3 is power hungry, I would recommend something NRF52 based. Like this guy: https://www.seeedstudio.com/SenseCAP-Card-Tracker-T1000-E-for-Meshtastic-p-5913.html?warehouse_id=11 or this guy: https://www.seeedstudio.com/Wio-Tracker-L1-Pro-p-6454.html Happy #Meshing Elena! oh and Happy Easter!
    SenseCAP Card Tracker T1000-E for Meshtastic

    The SenseCAP T1000-E is a compact Meshtastic device designed for off-grid communication and location sharing. About the size of a credit card, it can be easily carried or attached to gear for outdoor use. Powered by Semtech’s LR1110 LoRa transceiver (863–928 MHz), Nordic’s nRF52840 processor, and the Mediatek AG3335 GNSS module, it enables reliable long-range LoRa communication and location updates within Meshtastic networks.

    @elena @meshtastic oh and do you know there is a map for @meshtastic devices? https://meshmap.net/ Not all of them are visible to public, but it can give you nice overview where nodes are!

    @jan @elena @meshtastic Both are good suggestions, but I wouldn't dismiss Heltec completely. I have a Heltec v4, yes, it lasts one day, but it has a 4x transmission power of other companions. It's my buddy on hiking trips because in the countryside it's good to have enough power to be heard.

    @sesivany @elena @meshtastic I don"t have any experience with V4. But keen to buy 1W Rak Wireless one!
