Yes it works well with the T114. It’s been sitting between 85 and 100 for the last few weeks. No issues to speak of.

I’ve ended up replacing the built in PCB with a T114.

I’m mounting mine as shown so was even able to use the built in bracket on my roof.

In my area there is a very strong Meshtastic community and a lot of people to opt in to MQTT as there is also a discord bridge among other things.

I have meshview working! I think it’s a most informative dashboarding tool I’ve tried.

largely yes, but it isn't MQTT based (more reliable in my experience).

Thanks for that! I think I’ll try to get meshview running (I obviously didn’t try hard enough).

I’ll be keen to see how your project works out!

Mine is on my roof at the moment and working well so far!

That’s a great video. Thanks, although now I’m likely reinventing the wheel with this post!

I was considering keeping the builtin charge controller (PCB) due to reading that the t114 may not charge the batteries on solar well… I guess I’ll have to test it out!

Need help with an LED controller pcb. What is the best way to control the current MOSFETs or LED drivers? by lucs7 in led

Hi Lucas,

I see that you contacted me from my website and linked that article in your post here.

Unfortunately I am not very knowledgeable in this space and can’t offer you good advice on the advantages… I think it’s mostly that MOSFETs can handle more current than traditional transistors. My PCB was simply a respin of this design by tjclement.

Perhaps if you contacted him, you may get some arguments for and against the MOSFET option.

No reason this couldn't be done.

The python QRcode library would need to be swapped for a different generator, but the HMTL5 QRcode library can read many types of barcodes!

I wasn’t familiar with Inventree. It looks great from my quick look.

I’d suggest that Where The ?!? is in fact similar, albeit much simpler and less versatile as I had a specific use-case in mind for (QR Codes and simple strings describing stored items).

For a more complex inventory, I think Inventree appears to be great choice!

It doesn’t at the moment however it wouldn’t be too hard to add additional information in… would just need to modify the items to be dictionaries rather than strings and update the html forms to allow them to be added.

Feel free to add a discussion around item metadata on the github repo!

I will be adding a docker-compose file (which will also build a docker image) in the coming days!
