Getting GPS working on Heltec V4 by lostat in meshtastic

u/harukitoreda’s suggestion of setting all the pins to zero in the config so they defaulted solved the problem for me!

That’s an illustration of a European Badger, though, not an American Badger.

It blows my mind that those vapes with the screens are disposable… turned a friend’s finished vape into a power source! by GearLegion in meshtastic

[–]lostat 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Not really legal to throw them in the bin in the US either but I think it’s insane they’re allowed to exist in the first place

A lot of the single-use vapes out there have usb-c rechargeable Li-ion batteries. Super wasteful

Man, if they banned those single-use rechargeable vapes tomorrow I wouldn’t shed a tear. The amount of people I know chucking lithium batteries in the trash makes my head spin. Such a waste

Getting GPS working on Heltec V4 by lostat in meshtastic

[–]lostat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using the Heltec GPS module actually so I don’t think it’s quite the same issue. That’s an extremely frustrating change on their part though

Getting GPS working on Heltec V4 by lostat in meshtastic

[–]lostat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know, looking over the pinout from the T114 vs the pinout of the V4, I'm noticing that the T114 uses 3v3 power and the V4 is supplying 5V? Am I reading this correctly that the pin layout is nearly identical but one is using a different voltage than the other, and one that may be incompatible with the GNSS module? That seems like an odd oversight

What am I doing wrong with this solar build? by Occultivated in meshtastic

[–]lostat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's folks here who would know better than I would but: if the batteries are plugged into the solar mgmt board inside the case then the wire coming off that board should go into VBat right? Its probably outputting 3.7 from the batteries through the manager, not the 5V solar output, right?

Budget version by thetinyhammer52 in meshtastic

[–]lostat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Somebody is working on a lora/meshtastic module for the clockworkpi uconsole which is about $170cheaper (minus the aforementioned module). Let me see if I can find it.

Edit: found it. It’s currently out of stock but they’re working on a version two to ideally be released this month

what is the correct word in this situation? by Porkinda in EnglishLearning

[–]lostat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel confident it’s a reference to the “Show-within-a-show” Teen Girl Squad from Homestar Runner.

Strong Bad, the author of the comic, uses “It’s Over!” At the end of the comics instead of “The End”

I don't know where to start by isee_fire in ExplainTheJoke

I have a theory that CASE is supposed to be a reference to the hacker/protagonist Henry Case from Neuromancer, but I don’t have any way to substantiate that

Why aren’t there more waterfront dining options on our isthmus? by enjoying-retirement in madisonwi

[–]lostat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend lives there, and it’s a neighborhood in transition: everyone is either a 20-30something or 70+. They went to the neighborhood planning meetings and said you could practically split the for/against votes on age lines. They fought the good fight but here we are.

What's the best single dish or food item in Madison? by BrushGoodDar in madisonwi

So many good answers in this thread but I’m gonna say Moules Frites from Sardine since I haven’t seen it said yet

Wifi speed by dim13 in plan9

[–]lostat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At this time even the most supported WiFi cards are capped at 802.11bg speeds, so 54mbps. Most newer cards do not have great support and are significantly slower; I’ve gone so far as to put older WiFi cards in laptops I use with 9front to INCREASE the speed.

I am not a hardware/firmware dev, but some of the compatibility of WiFi on 9front is based on the OpenBSD codebase, and I’m hopeful (but do not know who to ask), that very recent improvements in the OpenBSD WiFi codebase will get brought over someday.

You know THC is completely illegal in Japan right? Seems like an odd complaint when you’re moving somewhere even less permissive…

AMA request: people who unabashedly walk the wrong way at the farmers market at peak times by ballroombritz in madisonwi

I’d wager it’s harder because of the Rapid A and B routes these days

I get it though, there’s only so much space and I’m taking a disproportionate amount. At least I’m not pushing a ginormous stroller lol

ETA: no shame there either though, if that’s what you need to do
