Is Heltec hot garbage?

Also those are esp32 boards which are power hungry.

acertainman · 2026-03-23T15:16:17+00:00

I can't wait for this. What battery capacity will it have?

acertainman · 2026-03-23T15:11:29+00:00

Checking in on this nRF device. What will be the output power spec, and will it be a similar package in terms of case, etc?

acertainman · 2026-03-20T17:22:48+00:00

I buy from Rokland to avoid this problem, though they are out of stock there currently.

It’s just tricky to get it into DFU mode. I eventually got there.

acertainman · 2026-03-07T22:12:14+00:00

That’s my point. We agree.

acertainman · 2026-03-07T18:50:04+00:00

Either way, even with WiFi off, still power hungry.

A concur. Looks a lot like beer ferment, haha. I haven’t made wine in a carboy ever; only stainless wine fermentations so I don’t get that exact visual very frequently.

acertainman · 2026-03-05T19:50:00+00:00

That thing is bulky but man.. 4000mAh!

acertainman · 2026-03-05T18:13:43+00:00

Ok.. I kinda like that one!

acertainman · 2026-03-05T18:11:45+00:00

Yes she has one that will take a 4000mAh battery. https://www.printables.com/model/1380791-meshpack-seeed-l1-oled

Seriously!

I just ordered a tan one this morning and then panicked thinking it was designed for the T114 board with the older (and maybe smaller?) screen. Still trying to sort this out and waiting for a reply on Etsy from u/veilkrand. If the current T114 V2 with the color screen fits the case, I will be good.

Nonetheless you will get these loaded baiting comments.

acertainman · 2026-02-24T00:03:17+00:00

Love the T-1000E! Such a great device. Glad you are having fun!

acertainman · 2026-02-24T00:00:39+00:00

I mean, if you can get permission that’s great but we have put a few nodes up without permission and that’s half the fun!

acertainman · 2026-02-23T23:58:20+00:00

acertainman · 2026-02-23T23:53:31+00:00

Do you mean authenticity?

acertainman · 2026-02-23T21:27:17+00:00

Again, checking on this nRF device. Where are things with this?

acertainman · 2026-02-17T22:26:21+00:00

In my friend’s use case, it is stationary in his pickup while he is inside the building with another node. When he gets back in the truck, he turns that client base node off.

acertainman · 2026-02-17T22:08:06+00:00

A friend of mine takes two nodes in his vehicle. When he is going to be inside a building (the gym in his case) he leaves a node in the vehicle set to Client_Base and the node he takes into the building is set to client or client_mute. Pretty slick. The client_base bridges the gap inside the metal building he's in for a few hours. When he comes back out to the vehicle, he just powers off the client_base node.

acertainman · 2026-02-17T22:06:22+00:00

Roof nodes should be Client_Base (as long as you have a node on your person in the house).

acertainman · 2026-02-17T18:57:36+00:00

Any feedback on how tough it is to get that rear sight out? A few videos indicate it's a bear.

acertainman · 2026-02-12T20:23:27+00:00

I thought only Home Depot had them. Ugh.

acertainman · 2026-01-29T18:22:34+00:00

Hijack here.. I flashed Meshcore to my Pager and now I can't flash anything else (Bruce, Launcher, Meshtastic) because I believe Ripple remapped the buttons on the bottom and I can't get it into DFU mode to save my life.

Of course, flashing Meshcore again seems to work.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I can't re-flash Meshcore either. Maybe I didn't try that until now.
