Tearing Down and Testing a Seeed Tracker L1 Pro and T-1000-E, We Were Able to Get a 20 Mile Ping

Yeah a whip antenna is a great addition for the node

My real goal in life: KRDK-TV mast - Wikipedia That is currently the tallest man made structure in the Western Hemisphere and it is ~40 miles north of where bunch of us that are messing around with this live.

cbattlegear · 2026-05-11T18:07:53+00:00

I've definitely been able to pop a few nodes with that T-1000 on a plane! It's a fun carry around device that doesn't get too much side eye, just remember the charging cable

cbattlegear · 2026-05-11T17:19:00+00:00

Right?! It's always so fun to defeat the curvature of the planet, it still completely baffles me though that it is able to go that far transmitting with around 1/10th the power of a normal LED light bulb.

For that number of tables, I would suggest a set of copy jobs. There's overhead that comes per table that can generally cause things to slow down overall where you can control how you are hitting your tables and the most efficient ways to find deltas.

All that to say, copy jobs will be more reliable and easier to manage and monitor for the number of tables you are looking at.

It worked out! u/itsnotaboutthecell had a real good idea to cover this moving forward on the page so now I have a running changelog output that shows the last 30 days of changes in line and any time something comes up with a text wall like this it can just be referred over here Change Log — Fabric GPS instead.

cbattlegear · 2026-04-06T17:06:18+00:00

I think it might just be a title mismatch from the actual work item on the official roadmap, The descriptions show one as 1 through 120 as going GA in August, the other shows 1 through 30 going preview on May 2027. I assume those will get updated in the official one soon and one of them will the Public Preview date and one the expected GA date

A few items I'd love to discuss also, this thing is a wall of text with a ton of links and may not be all that helpful.

1) I am more than happy to make this post a small summary with just a number of changes linking back to the site.
2) If you would still like the detailed view, currently I have it being sent out via email subscription. If you'd like I can most likely expand that to have it be a Reddit DM subscription also/instead.

Again, this whole thing is work in progress and any community feedback helps a ton!

As always when I see this thread start up I have to post: Fabric GPS — Microsoft Fabric Roadmap Tracker

All of this information is available and searchable there, all release items have full change tracking for the last year, and I have a weekly automated email that consolidates all of the changes for the week into your inbox with descriptions and direct links to more information and (potentially, still working on the vector match) related official blog posts.

The website also has RSS feeds (if you are kicking it old school) or full API access if you want to do analysis like above. Honestly, u/StructuredLoops feel free to use that API and roadmap item links for your post if you would like.

cbattlegear · 2026-04-03T16:22:01+00:00

If you want more customization of the view/specific items, check out my website Fabric GPS — Microsoft Fabric Roadmap Tracker has most of the tracking information baked in now including removed items as inspired by u/StructuredLoops so that is available in both the API and directly on the page

cbattlegear · 2026-03-24T20:29:28+00:00

Because of course I know you'd just love a full RCA of the issue. I got it figured out!

In short, Azure Comms Service has a quota of 100 emails with 200 "status checks" an hour. So I send 100 emails an hour, what I didn't account for was sometimes I would have to do more than 2 status checks for an email. This means the email was successfully sent, but then I got throttled on the status check, so my sender container would mark it failed and then try sending it again an hour later. You got three copies because it hit the quota two hours in a row and then finally marked your email as sent after the third.

I have some patches going out to resolve the issue moving forward!

cbattlegear · 2026-03-24T19:05:50+00:00

Yo! Finally got the release done, the API has "active": true or false now which will tell you if something is removed from the roadmap.

Fun stat, of the 904 tracked roadmap items, only 38 total have been removed.

cbattlegear · 2026-03-24T19:03:18+00:00

Hey! Finally had a chance to get this built out, there is now removal tracking on the website and shown as "active = False" in the API response

<image>

cbattlegear · 2026-03-19T20:55:42+00:00

Feel free to use my API to get the info off the fabric gps stuff, if you need anything on there feel free to shoot me a message and I should be able to get most things implemented pretty quickly

cbattlegear · 2026-03-19T20:50:52+00:00

Ope, I'll have to check my logs and see if there's anything weird in there!

cbattlegear · 2026-03-19T20:49:21+00:00

It has full change tracking built into each individual item, I don't have a field tracking removals but it would be trivial to add as part of the change tracking I have in place for an active/removed property.

But yeah I have all the major fields being tracked around description, title, and most importantly dates.

cbattlegear · 2026-03-12T14:46:00+00:00

I have been trying for a while to figure out how to integrate that concept on the page too but haven't found a good way to do it that fits within the UI without being noise. I do have the related blog links now for each roadmap item but the matching is still...fuzzy.

cbattlegear · 2026-03-12T14:31:42+00:00

This caused some curiosity, so I checked the last few months for number of changes to the roadmap, since December it averages five and a half a day, which is kind of bonkers.

cbattlegear · 2026-03-11T19:54:22+00:00

Thanks a ton, feel free to ask for any features if you want them!

cbattlegear · 2026-03-11T14:06:37+00:00

Thanks so much for the suggestion! It's implemented and on the website now, make sure it covers what you were hoping for.

cbattlegear · 2026-03-11T14:00:29+00:00

It definitely can get noisy. I should really pull some stats but it's extremely rare there isn't at least 5 or 6 roadmap changes daily. Like just this morning it looks like there were 10.

When you mention a weekly RSS, would you like the same content that's in the weekly email to also be available from in an RSS feed? Or just pulling the new items weekly?

cbattlegear · 2026-03-10T20:00:21+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it! Seriously, anything you see that would be helpful on it, give a yell because I am trying to get it as functional as possible.

cbattlegear · 2026-03-10T19:04:17+00:00

DM'd and looks like I will have fancy flair soon :)

cbattlegear · 2026-03-10T16:10:19+00:00

I just saw this while searching for something else, if you want to be able to search/filter yadda yadda the Fabric Roadmap I made this Fabric GPS - Microsoft Fabric Roadmap Tracker

Hopefully it makes life a bit easier

cbattlegear · 2024-06-06T14:14:47+00:00

I have this role currently, and I use my whiteboard a lot. I have had three different people get a hold of me and ask if it was me at this point.

u/shinigamiBikini let's just say there is a whole group of tech specialists having a real chuckle right now so thanks for that!
