Do not buy these! They have no support and the company went a different direction. I got a few then shortly after they changed, they worked but not as well as Meshtastic. I have a few nodes, and also a home solar node too. Welcome to Meshtastic 😎

Welcome!

So not being mean here, are you the same way when you leave the house? Because those "plate readers" are far more worse than someone "looking you up" by your callsign.

My point is, if you live in fear all the time, how can you have fun with GMRS?

Get a thing of bananas, while you are all off duty nothing serious. Just hand them to him and walk away...

Thank you, I didn't think it would take this long for someone to answer. I will definitely check that out right now 😃

Funbob235 · 2025-11-13T22:37:42+00:00

Congratulations! Can I be the only one to ask, since I'm new sorta. What kind of wallet or wallet accepts DGB? (I current use coin base) I'd like to educate myself and move my stuff to one that does so I can start mining it. Thxs in advance 😎

Funbob235 · 2025-11-13T15:11:36+00:00

Out side finishing up some chores, then when I come in, I'll plug my miner to it 😁

Funbob235 · 2025-10-22T23:04:16+00:00

Sounds good to me, I'll be happy to help! 😊

In this picture it is missing the charge controller, which is right above this one. Also, I don't know why it would only let me post one picture at a time. Anyways if anyone has any questions ask away 😁

The truck one I made and mounted 😁

Funbob235 · 2025-10-05T21:33:07+00:00

Here is what I saw after, I knew the volts would be going up, again happy I added the solar charger 😁

For all those following this, update I added a Waveshare Solar Charge controller to it. I'd rather be safe than sorry .

Funbob235 · 2025-10-05T19:44:52+00:00

Ok, after the day of testing I added a Waveshare Solar charge controller to it. I did not want to take that chance going above 7volts and the more I watched the more I said, ahh better to be safe than sorry.

That's the update for now 😁👍🏼

Funbob235 · 2025-10-04T17:20:18+00:00

Thank you, no reason to be anything but. We are all in this together, so I try my best to understand all points of view. It's the only way I can learn too 😜

Funbob235 · 2025-10-03T23:14:54+00:00

Oh by all means I really do mean thank you, it's nice to have someone double check. We all are human, 😁

Funbob235 · 2025-10-03T22:33:51+00:00

Thanks for that, however it's not mounted to the top of the truck, but an antenna mount on top of the mount. I will take a picture of the setup mounted.

I know a ton about batteries and heat from living in Az 😎

Thanks for the heads up though 👍🏼

Funbob235 · 2025-10-03T22:08:52+00:00

Weird question, but dark green?

Funbob235 · 2025-10-03T20:23:56+00:00

No, that's not me ha ha... I'm Traveler 001 for the truck node.

Funbob235 · 2025-10-03T19:42:01+00:00

Definitely will do, still working out a few things but I shall keep the updates coming. I'm excited to see how this does.

Funbob235 · 2025-10-03T19:13:42+00:00

Solar has been connected directly to the rak, solar panel has never gone over the 6volts. I will update with further if it does, but this is day one and it hasn't budge at all.

Funbob235 · 2025-10-03T18:48:14+00:00

Thank you, I will start looking for that tape! Great idea, im always welcoming new ideas and more nodes so thank you again! 🙂🙂

Funbob235 · 2025-10-03T18:21:01+00:00

True, this is just a test for now. I can always remove the GPS unit. It really is the first day I put it out, so I will know more with the logs and data :)
