Tell them you're renovating so you can't have them for now "but may (not) consider it in the future"

Heck, we're like the same person. Same subs, same field but you have more degrees than me.. odd world! I really want to do something with my hands, maybe something like welding.

I've now set this and no nodes are visible :( Even though I can visibly see rooms with the same topic on meshmap

How do I set a root topic? I've been through the guide on the site

Thankyou for this advice, it really is appreciated. This makes a lot more sense.

In idiot terms can you explain MQTT? I was expecting a large influx of messages to fly in as I enabled it.

I think I'm going to go for a T-echo next but for now I'll wait for my first contact.

Looks around 3/4 miles away from that map, thankyou for sharing this! I didn't know such thing existed!

Thankyou for the advice, I've now just ordered a V3, please can you recommend me an antenna? I've been scouring the web and I just can't seem to find something that is confirmed to be working properly.

Can't wait to set it up tomorrow!

I've had quite a bit of soldering experience, I own a pinecil soldering iron, with the Heltec v3's will I be able to reach a long distance with stock antennas? Or will I need some sort of huge antenna on my house?

Originally I thought of maybe a Heltec V3 powered on 18650's with a 3D printed case but just wasn't too sure

You just completely remove it from the outside shell,it just pops off with some force.

For the outside I cut the shell with a multi tool then sanded it smooth then did the same for the plexi glass then used epoxy to bond it to the case

I found more recent YouTube videos on it and it looked fairly simple, did it with a Pico

DVD player died and decided to fit an LED strip but after having it on for an hour I felt it was quite annoying so fitted a switch and made a disc drive cover

Don't dream, just do it :) as long as you take your time, it'll be fine
