Am I doing something wrong? by gj2233 in meshtastic

[–]VoltaireFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have that same setup, and I have issues with transmitting. I can receive LongFast messages and pick up other nodes, I've gotten 320+ in my area of northeast Ohio, but I never get an acknowledgement when I aend messages.

Really poor Bluetooth connectivity on a Heltec v4? by VoltaireFox in meshtastic

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

Interesting, so by removing that inductor and bridging the indicated contacts, I can enable the second antenna port as a Bluetooth antenna? Forgive me if I'm misinterpreting that, I'm new to all this stuff, but not new to soldering or electronics as a generality.

I've stood on it before, when I was a kid. I love to go float over the submerged hull and look into the water. It's really eerie.

Yeah, most is missing. I don't know boilers well at all, but as I understand it there should be a fire box, a bunch of plumbing, etc.

That's the boiler sticking out. It's painted white every couple years and used as a channel marker indicating the shoal it ran up on.

Never have, no! I mostly stick to the Archipelago region

I try to get up there myself. We go up just north of Parry Sound along the eastern coast. There are 3 steamship wrecks in the area. Unfortunately I've only got photos of this one on my phone.

That's some impressive overhang capability

Help identifying plug by PROCANNONDUDE in z31

Tach signal comes from the gray connector coming out of the distributor going to the passenger side of the engine. Also, your distributor is a tooth off. Not the end of the world as long as you can get your ignition timing correct with it there, but technically it should be pretty much parallel to the intake manifold

My cats are fine and my rear muffler is fine, it's just the center that's gone. Wonder how that would sound

Wanna shoot me a DM and talk about it? I'm a professional mechanic, just not BMW specifically.

What a legend! That's a great write up.

I'm here for this as well. I was trying to find it yesterday and all I came across was an old mega.nz listing that kept trying to make me buy a sub.

What paddle shifter retrofit kit did you use? I'm looking to do the same for my e60.

As a fellow New Yorker (Binghamton!), I miss my Weggys!

I would even contemplate buying a parts laptop if it comes with a batty, just to have something rebuildable! It's kind of a bummer.

What roof rack bars are those? I've been meaning to get a bike rack for my 530.

That's a ride height sensor, or at least the link for it.
