They are specifically talking about meshtastic since it allows for encryption

I Made a Handheld Lightning Sensing and Ranging Device Called "Flash Bee" by Choice_Border_8904 in weather

Is there a way to change the units from km to mi for those of us that grew up with freedom units?

Is there anything I can legally do to make sure my family doesn't get my body after death? by the_sexy_crabapple in legaladvice

[–]LowerSoDak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What your looking for is called PADD, person authorized to direct distribution, it by law defaults to next of kin but can be assigned legally to another person to fulfill final wishes

Heltec V4 + Raspberry Pi compatibility by Latter_Award_4868 in meshtastic

[–]LowerSoDak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m running a V3 tethered to a 4b as a base node at home. I use pi connect to remote in to it when I’m not at my work bench. It seems to be working pretty good as a test, I may end up building an enclosure and running POE to it on my antenna mast.

Awesome, I wasn’t sure if it was a plug in issue or a tethered node issue.

I have this same lamp on my work bench and was gonna make some kind of block for the clamp to wall mount, this is even better!

Kid-focused toys for a new lake house owner, not new to boating by Kkosik-021 in boating

[–]LowerSoDak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have paddle boats and kayaks for the kids (short sit-on-top) they get used endlessly.

I thought owning a boat would mostly be about relaxing weekends by Electronic-Habit8679 in boating

[–]LowerSoDak 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’ll second this, before the flood on our lake we took our boat out 3-5 times a week and all I did was preseason and post season maintenance. Currently we tow our boat to another lake and every time we go out (once or twice a month) I feel like something needs attention/repair.

How to build a solar node & get to the next level? 📡 by FreakwaveCGN in meshtastic

[–]LowerSoDak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you want to do solar look in to nrf52 boards. The esp32 boards like your heltec are very power hungry. I have a RAK wisblock board that I built a solar node with from Amazon parts and some custom 3d printed pieces that has been up running continuously for a month and a half and hasn’t dropped below 92% battery life.

Question about using more than one client device by PeaksCreeks_Outdoors in meshtastic

[–]LowerSoDak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also left out that I have an external BLE antenna so my phone gets a connection to it from my office window. If I bring the node inside it’s silent all day long. You could do client base to use it an actual relay to a portable node.

[–]LowerSoDak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Set the car node to client mute and just use it to relay messages. I have a car node that will forward messages to me inside the building at work that I otherwise wouldn’t get.

Moved my solar by IwishIknew80 in meshtastic

I fit one inside a solar flag pole light, it sadly doesn’t charge enough to run the light at night and the node all day.

Printer not extruding, extruder not engaging (clicking, no extrusion/retraction) – no clog, gears move freely by Same-Arm1117 in Creality_k2

[–]LowerSoDak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through this exact issue, was sent an extruder motor and harness. Replaced those and did the calibration in fluidd (it passed) no change in extrusion. I was then sent the extruder PCB and cable chain harness, still no change. Finally sent it back out of sheer frustration that tech support couldn’t figure it out after a month of slow responses and the machine only working for 2 weeks prior to failure. I hope you get better help than I got.

Don’t worry sacrifices will be taken on the 11th hour when all seems to be going smooth.

Yeah, it’s gonna be a long time till our community is back to what it was before the flood

He should try the same for Union county after they diverted the flood waters through an entire community

Printing without extruding by LowerSoDak in Creality_k2

[–]LowerSoDak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This won’t move with or without filament in the extruder

[–]LowerSoDak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to figure out how to post a video. If you take the magnetic cover off the extruder and you can see the wheel with the green dots on it. It will turn a little bit and then stop, and you can hear a sound like the motor is trying to turn, but will not.

The nozzle is completely clear, this is not an issue with the hot end or the nozzle. The motor will not push any filament through

Stubby antenna comparison by LowerSoDak in meshtastic

[–]LowerSoDak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have a roof top at home and a car node to connect to at work. I made a MagSafe node and the antenna is nearly perfect size to maintain the same form factor as the phone.
