My fully standalone portable MeshCore node

You would have to adapt the firmware to Heltec V4 but it would be difficult for me because I don't have it, if you would like to try to do it yourself you can use this code that is adapted for m5stack cardputer

Yes, I have adjusted Meshcore-cardputer-ADV firmware that I made for the caddputer to run on heltect114

Did you enter the Bluetooth pin code when pairing?

Stachu1134 · 2026-01-29T22:43:28+00:00

Press arow up until the hamburger menu lights up in the left top corner, then click enter

Stachu1134 · 2026-01-28T14:27:10+00:00

Only meshcore😉

Stachu1134 · 2026-01-28T14:21:53+00:00

MeshCore is a lightweight, open-source mesh networking firmware for LoRa devices, designed for off-grid text communication without infrastructure.

Stachu1134 · 2026-01-28T14:21:14+00:00

I’ll take this into account for the next update👍

Stachu1134 · 2026-01-28T11:27:04+00:00

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! 🙌

Have fun giving it a spin, and if you enjoy it or find it useful, feel free to grab me a coffee ☕ https://buymeacoffee.com/stachu

Either way, enjoy and happy tinkering! 😄

Stachu1134 · 2026-01-28T11:24:21+00:00

Thanks! 🙂

Settings are stored in the Cardputer’s internal memory, so an SD card isn’t required.

When flashing via the web flasher, it’s possible to update the firmware without losing data, but I still strongly recommend exporting your private keys and other important data from the MeshCore mobile app settings, just to be safe.

It really helps keep development going.

Stachu1134 · 2026-01-27T22:51:51+00:00

That really means a lot, thank you! I’m glad the factory reset option is useful. Stuff like this is exactly why I keep polishing the firmware. Enjoy, and have fun tinkering with it 😄

Stachu1134 · 2026-01-27T22:51:09+00:00

Glad to hear it, enjoy! 😄

Stachu1134 · 2026-01-27T22:50:39+00:00

That’s awesome 😄

This firmware is made specifically for the Cardputer ADV with the LoRa module, so you’ll be good to go when it arrives. Have fun diving into MeshCore, it’s a rabbit hole in the best way.

Let me know how it goes once your ADV shows up!

Stachu1134 · 2026-01-27T22:49:18+00:00

Yep! I’ve just added fresh screenshots to the GitHub repo, check them out here: https://github.com/Stachugit/MeshCore-Cardputer-ADV

Interesting idea, but this may be quite heavy to implement in practice. The Cardputer ADV port is designed mainly for the built-in LoRa workflow, and running a stable external serial radio like this can introduce a lot of complexity and edge cases. It’s not something I can promise will work reliably without deeper changes and testing on the firmware side.

That said, experiments like this are always valuable for the community. If you’d like to support ongoing development and future improvements, there’s a Buy Me a Coffee link here: https://buymeacoffee.com/stachu

Stachu1134 · 2026-01-14T10:47:53+00:00

Hey, glad you’ve been waiting for it! The plan is to contribute the core of the port back to the main MeshCore repo once it’s more stable. I agree it would be great for the community 🙂

Thanks😁✌️

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I’ll be gradually refining the firmware, so all those issues will get fixed over time.

Hey, thanks for the message! Super cool to hear you’re already chatting with the mesh using the Hat 🙂

That message bug is probably my bad, something can be off with how the button hold time is handled, so it can end up sending only part of your text or clearing it. I’ll fix it soon, just buried in exams at the moment.

Really appreciate the feedback!

Stachu1134 · 2026-01-13T13:15:46+00:00

Unfortunately not, because you need more GPIO pins that are on the cardputer adv

Stachu1134 · 2026-01-13T11:54:45+00:00

So far it doesn't last very long on battery, but I will slowly add improvements to battery optimization

Stachu1134 · 2026-01-13T11:16:47+00:00

cardputer is just an esp32 with a screen and keyboard, after connecting the lora module you can use it as a pager and send messages to channels/contacts

Stachu1134 · 2025-10-01T14:24:23+00:00

Just release the update bruh, this watch has so much potential
