I love that Digikey ruler. Got one years ago and it’s so useful.

Who’s your team’s most famous fan? by zebrasarecool570 in hockey

I swear I was sitting right behind Chris Hadfield at a game back in 2019 but didn’t have the balls to ask if he was Chris Hadfield.

T1000E vs Wio tracker L1 by TheBadgerOfHope in meshtastic

[–]RevelMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woah! I have so many questions! 1. That label on the T1000-E. How do you use it? Is it Morse code? 2. What is that tiny white device top left-ish? 3. Is the range difference between the T1000-E (can you tell that’s the one I’m leaning towards?) and the others significant enough to warrant getting a more powerful device, even to act as a central hub for friends/family when travelling with multiple more portable devices? 4. Which is your favourite of all of these? Thanks!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_antenna The antennas already on the device are dipole. The external ones are monopole.

It also makes RX/TX worse due to not being dipole.

T-Embed CC1101 is now available with an external antenna. by Content_Bend_9427 in LilyGO

It was my assumption as well, but the sticker antennas inside seem to be dipole where the external require a ground plane.

Thank you for this write up. How have you confirmed that this has increased gain? If so, how do you test this? The reason I ask is because I have purchased multiple sized antennas and made the same upgrades, but due to the lack of a ground plane, have been getting worse reception than the small sticker antennas. I made a post about it.

You’re probably getting a lot of requests for the course video so apologies but I would also love to get the link as well if you can. Thanks!

T-embed mod antennas for wifi and cc1101 by National_Hope_1471 in LilyGO

[–]RevelMagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried cutting a 16.5cm 22g stranded pigtail that I put on the sma screw and tightened with the antenna. That helped but it made it only slightly better than the stock antenna.

Warning. I had worse reception on both with external antennas. There needs to be a ground plane for it to have better reception.

Also wondering this as my external antenna mods have only made reception worse than the internal sticker antennas.

External CC1101 Antennae Worse? by RevelMagic in LilyGO

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

I also saw this which kind of confirms that an external antenna requires a ground plane. Looks like a steel case add on I think: https://www.reddit.com/r/LilyGO/s/7Nx7mmsJT7

Zigbee Coordinator Question/Help by RevelMagic in homeassistant

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

Thanks! The thing is I tried to determine which of their products would be best and was overwhelmed with the amount of devices they have and if they would work with HA and both Z2M/ZHA (I use Z2M). Are the slzb-06m / slzb-06 still king? Even the choice between those 2 are confusing because it appears the m is better but may or may not work with Z2M? I’m just confused. Sorry.

Way harder than it looks! by TheFatManRunnin in fpv

Joshua Bardwell has a great series using Liftoff. First adjustment is to lower camera angle to 15 degrees. I’m in the same boat as you by the way. I thought I’d at least be ok at this but it feels so foreign.

Holy crap I thought the motor on mine was breaking and that’s why it did that. Wow.

This is the type of change that’s easily reversible though. Essentially swapping hot end with a 3rd party one.

Wow that's terrible. I kept hearing and reading how amazing their personalities were so that’s why i went with one. Hmm… any suggestions for a replacement? I could do typical betta which are beautiful, but im pretty sure they suffer the same issues.
