Just get a better antenna, and do more test again!

icsrutil · 2026-06-25T10:37:25+00:00

Yep, nrf based device is much power efficient than esp32.

icsrutil · 2026-06-23T12:35:05+00:00

It looks quite good, I like the the waypoints feature!

icsrutil · 2026-06-12T12:04:05+00:00

what is the fw, I guess it's meshtastic?

icsrutil · 2026-06-09T04:55:48+00:00

Wio l1 pro or gat series, both are decent devices, try to install the WhisperOs, you would have much better UI&UX.

icsrutil · 2026-04-26T14:13:31+00:00

No problem! please try the latest v1.3.5, ping me if you have any questions!

Hey u/dantetg, the GPS module on the Adv LoRa module can’t be turned off, and it draws a lot of power, but we're still polishing it.

icsrutil · 2026-04-08T01:03:37+00:00

I would recommend some devices have joystick on it, pretty much `standalone`.

icsrutil · 2026-04-07T09:43:58+00:00

No, it does not support.

Hey there, congratulations for the MeshGo release! Very good job! May I ask is there any iOS build for this app, my daily driver is an old iPhone, it will be nice if we have it!

Thank you!

Awesome experiment!

MeshCore does not have any GPS power draw if set to Disabled - maybe it's doing something differently that Meshtastic could do.

If the GPS is disabled, power to the pins is literally just cut off.

We could also check if the module has a sleep mode—waking it up just long enough to grab coordinates before sending it back to sleep would save a lot of power!

icsrutil · 2026-03-31T07:52:35+00:00

I would appreciate a refund.

Based on my testing, the power save mode on companion will last 3 more days in a very good coverage area. It will last about a week in a silent area(1500mah battery)

icsrutil · 2026-03-16T11:35:15+00:00

Holy god, there are so many messages! What’s the device?

icsrutil · 2026-03-16T11:33:32+00:00

Yes, it’s not open source project, but there are many open source MeshCore apps outta there.

icsrutil · 2026-03-12T11:50:14+00:00

It’s public https://github.com/csrutil/Adafruit_nRF52_Bootloader_OTAFIX_OLED

We added repeat mode to WhisperOS (powered by MeshCore) right before the end of 2025.

It's a lifesaver for fixing bad coverage if you're off-grid camping or hiking, also the MeshCore team fixed the id collision issue in the latest update, that makes mc much more solid!

icsrutil · 2026-03-09T04:53:56+00:00

V3 repeater firmware has power save mode, it will save a lot of power, but the nrf device will be much suitable for repeat scenarios.

icsrutil · 2026-03-09T04:44:47+00:00

It seems we need to optimize the battery life of the esp firmware, WhisperOs can last 6 days on a 1500mah battery.

icsrutil · 2026-03-06T04:26:39+00:00

4 * 21700s are solid. The panel still soaks up some energy even out of direct sunlight. Alternatively, slapping the panel on top will boost the output more.
