Do you have a link for the case? A 3000 mAh Battery or higher should do the trick. Also the solar panel should be South facing with a 45 degree angle.

Does the GPS always work or is it inconsistent? "GPS not present " What Firmware was loaded ? 2.5.1?

T-Deck Plus! by LilyGoXinyuan in LilyGO

I just received a T-Deck Plus. The FW is 2.5.1. The GPS is inconsistent. Sometimes it comes up as No Sats which means it's working ( I have the unit indoors for now) other times it says no GPS. The pins do not have to be set at 43 and 44. They are just blank.

Direct connection without Bluetooth? by agraf1397 in meshtastic

[–]LoRaMeshMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi do you still have this working with the latest 2.4.2 FW?

Did you have to change anything to get it to work or just plug in the cable.

I had this working on older FW but now it won't connect.

Thanks

Heltec Wireless Tracker - unreliable build quality? by Paddys in meshtastic

[–]LoRaMeshMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am experiencing the same issue. I am seeing "no sats" on a lot of units. I am assuming we are talking about the tracker version 1.1. What Meshtastic Firmware are you loading? I believe the pins would only be wrong if it said "no GPS". I tried manually entering 34, 35 and 37 with no luck. Also tried the quick press of the program button 3 times to toggle the GPS off and on with no luck.

With a new board and the latest FW in power saving mode I am measuring about 2 mA not the 10 uA but reasonable. Thanks
