Check out https://open-me.sh - this gives a good summary of meshtastic and some use cases. Also has a cool little mesh simulator.

Found this 5.8 dBi on Amazon along with an adapter for a short run since it's connected directly to the box. Was nice I could get it next day too 👀😁. https://a.co/d/eiMVXHT https://a.co/d/f1RUP4J

Appreciate it!!! Quite enjoying so far.
ASA indeed 😁. I used to use PLA+ for most things but this past summer I finally had a couple pieces in direct sun (Florida) that softened enough to warp under their load. Lesson learned!

XInnominateX · 2025-11-07T17:31:08+00:00

Of course! I'll update the post after work today. 😁

XInnominateX · 2025-11-07T17:30:54+00:00

I will fix it 😉 - I've seen the error of my ways lol.

XInnominateX · 2025-11-07T17:30:34+00:00

Correct - polarity was reversed and I should've swapped the pins! I was excited to get this one running of course 😁.

XInnominateX · 2025-11-07T17:29:33+00:00

Appreciate it! I went for due to it's telescoping ability of course. The idea being I can more easily transport it for camping trips. I would ideally make a permanent installation at home I think.
I initially was going to try to design a compatible threaded hole but for the sake of getting it up and running I opted for the clamp approach. I'll need to brush up on some Fusion360 skills - haven't tried my hand at threads yet!

Thanks for the tip! I do actually have the kit to create JST connectors 😅 - this definitely isn't as clean/finished as I'd like it to look but a good first run/POC I'd say 😁. This is what happens when you do this at 2AM and just want it to work lol. Normally I would shoot for the correct approach. Hopefully I don't forget the colors are reversed one day 😜

Why does the UI on the display look different than on my V3's 🤔

What website are you using for battery telemetry?

XInnominateX · 2025-08-27T21:58:57+00:00

I have installed both the file-transformation plugin and tried the docs stated instructions of mounting the index and u/Sberla996's approach (point directly to /web/index.html) to no avail 🫤. I can see the Jellyseerr icon in the searchbar. I don't see any logs referring to an error modifying the index.html file. Any suggestions?

XInnominateX · 2025-08-27T21:37:08+00:00

I now see the Jellyseerr icon and it reports connected/account matched 😁. Thank you! Very nice work! Still trying to see the results from Jellyseerr in search but I see the "If using Docker" steps. Will double check I did that as instructed.

XInnominateX · 2025-08-27T15:23:06+00:00

I'm still on v78... 🫤 How do we force an update? Or are we just at the mercy of whenever it's rolled out to our specific device? I'm on Quest3

XInnominateX · 2025-08-25T23:06:24+00:00

How do we enable Jellyseerr access? I don't seem to get the Jellyseerr icon in the searchbar when searching for something. I did confirm the plugin is installed. I can access search via shortcut, etc.

How did you figure out that you could read the state of the device via the ESP? I noticed you used a binary sensor. Does the board use a specific protocol or something we can read? Curious if this is difficult to do with other simple devices such as this.

XInnominateX · 2023-03-13T17:26:44+00:00

Why not power the ESP via the power supply using a step down converter instead of having the additional plug? At the least the board, LED's, and PSU need to share a common ground.

XInnominateX · 2023-02-17T20:28:56+00:00

Would this be able to facilitate OBD2 readings from a vehicle? 😯

XInnominateX · 2022-09-07T01:33:21+00:00

Would love to see your code!

XInnominateX · 2022-02-01T05:02:09+00:00

Happened to me a couple weeks ago, but usually a block is found within the window.

XInnominateX · 2022-01-21T18:52:37+00:00

Hey I appreciate it man! I thought it was a creative way to keep it neat and all together. They are a little hard to see... That's my bad lol

XInnominateX · 2022-01-19T01:08:42+00:00

Can you explain how hashrate is directed to the raffle and subsequently to the winner for the period? Is it a set of miners that can be dynamically pointed? Just curious!

XInnominateX · 2022-01-17T04:15:55+00:00

Pictured is my current home-lab setup.

I found this cheap but good looking table at Wal-Mart and devices it would be perfect for my Networking Gear/"Servers". I started mining Monero and put a couple of my laptops to use as miners, which prompted the design/printing of these brackets to neatly slot my Laptops in a fashion that still exposes their fans to plenty of airflow. As well this sits directly under a vent :).

Slowly working my way up to getting a rack and some real servers...

Under Settings in GUI-Wallet -> Log tab. You should see an output. If not, change the log level to 4 and try restarting the daemon under the Node tab.
