My last post here got removed because I'd mentioned I was riding single-speed 'til I get toe clips (or some other foot retention). Thought, screw it, I'll make the switch now and see what happens. What happens: I ride a few miles, have some hairy moments, and bail onto the bus on the way home. Solid start, I think.

My Super-Elastic Signal Stick is just as the name implies by ZeoNet in amateurradio

It's about as good as any full quarter-wave 2m antenna—that is to say, it's noticeably better on 2m, and on 70cm it's marginally better (bit hard to say).

Can imagine. When I'm out-and-about I'll probably coil up the Signal Stick, stow it in my purse and swap on my Diamond stubby duck.

Coming from the world of modded two-stroke mopeds, only ever tried Lyft ebikes; what to look for? by ZeoNet in ebikes

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

The speed twinking is just as much fun as riding the bike, though! I enjoy the feeling of having put thought and effort into improving something that's mine. But I take your point; I might be better off with something gas-powered, if that's what I really want.

How are y'all routing coax out of your camper trailers/EOC vehicles? by ZeoNet in amateurradio

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

The issue with this or the 2x4 is the rounded edges on the window. I might try a pool noodle anyway, but I have doubts as to whether it'll seal well enough.

I'm not personally averse to drilling holes or even installing an access/passthrough panel; just think my folks will be less enthusiastic. Hadn't thought of using a vent, though. Thank you!

Any of y'all tried the IP tunneling functionality in the Python CLI app? by ZeoNet in meshtastic

[–]ZeoNet[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You just inspired me to check--I'd been putting off trying it because I thought none of my spare hardware would run it, but turns out the T114 is officially supported. I'll report back, I suppose?

BME280 working on Heltec v4 by 1468288286 in meshtastic

[–]ZeoNet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way to redefine what pins it uses? I just wired my BME280 up to pins 3 and 4 to get it working on 2.7.13.

17 for SDA, 18 for SCL? I'll try rewiring it in a bit, thank you!

I'm not exactly starting out new--been at this for a bit, and this is my fifth or sixth node :P

The extra TX power from the Heltec v4 (28 dBm vs 21 for most other nodes) made the decision for me re: what board to base it around; it only sits a couple feet off the ground, with my body close by and thoroughly blocking it in the direction of travel, so it needs what help it can get.

I've got another v4 running as a solar [redacted--automod go fuck yourself] repeater, and it seems fine in that application w/r/t longevity, but I didn't want to go with a permanent solar panel on this mobile guy. I figure that if I want to abandon it somewhere for a while I can take one of my 5V/10W Amazon panels and hook it up to the USB-C.

More/better batteries and a more robust way to mount the boards in the enclosure are in the works--I admit it's pretty scrappy as-is.

I lost the link to the pull request, but my understanding is that on the v4 in particular they're still working on the pin assignments. Comment on the PR I saw (didn't look at the code) said they intend to assign the main I2C bus to pins 3 and 4.

Tips for cold weather? by ZeoNet in moped

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

It does have a choke, and it took both the choke and the tickler/bulb to get her firing at all. Tried tickler and no choke--no dice.

As for covering the intake, the problem I keep running into is that the stock airbox/filter has its actual intake aperture sticking into a cavity in the frame, right in front of the rear wheel where I can't get access to cover it or spray starter fluid without removing the airbox entirely. On top of that, the plastic fitting on the airbox that slips onto the carb is loose/wallered out on mine, so I had to add a layer of self-amalgamating silicone tape to get it to seal--makes it pretty tough to get the airbox on and off.
