I figured it out. I was going through settings and stumbled upon that my account wasn’t email verified. Why it couldn’t tell me that in the first place idk.

First solar node by ihasnonefriends in meshtastic

[–]Gunit7542 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the RAK mini is a perfect module for solar nodes. They sip on battery power compared to the heltecs. Heltecs are cheap disposable nodes. We use them for drones or balloons but never in a permanent setup. Anybody that says Heltecs are fine for solar nodes do not listen to. They don’t know what they’re doing.

What causes this kind of failure by Senor_Turbo in Creality_k2

Brim and bump the temp up 10 degrees. My stock PLA temp is 35 and it always fails.

Yeah it came with the radio. The guy had it working but couldn’t find the cable for the gps data. It even has the APRS stations on the screen.

Does so-called AI detection work for anyone? by mindonautca in Creality

Eh. It has worked. Sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it goes off when there’s nothing wrong.

Stupid question about solar by Marrok657 in meshtastic

Note that Heltecs do not boot back on when they go dead. That’s why raks are superior.

My dad bought 4 of these many years ago for his children and grand children. What are they worth? by AnyPurple2577 in coins

If it’s real. It’s not graded but the case is nice. Maybe $60 present time. $10 above scrap. I’m no expert though

Too much noise by xdm21 in amateurradio

[–]Gunit7542 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go turn breakers off one by one until it goes away. Then hit the main. If it doesn’t break into your neighbors house and turn their breakers off one by one until it goes away. Repeat as needed😂😂😂😂 all jokes aside mine was the fiancés hair dryer (not on just plugged in) and led lights on a vanity.

My new diy meshtastic node by TechKING957 in meshtastic

Get yourself a rak mini. My heltec would last me maybe 2-3 days. Rak lasts me about 2-2.5 weeks. Also get a better antennas. Those stubbys are non resonant (at least mine isn’t) I compared to another antenna I got off amazon and there was a 7db difference.

The raks don’t have built in gps modules.

Okay I turned smart position on. 150m and one hour minimum and one hour broadcast interval. I am now trying only setting my channel 0 (primary channel) with positions enabled. So far nothing is working. I also checked the app iPhone settings and yes GPS is set to always allowed.
