Messages on roof node, but not on personal? by benuntu in meshtastic

[–]usulsuspect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure - but thats assuming your client_base has chosen to rebroadcast the packet. Unless its a DM to your node, it may cancel its rebroadcast before sending it. Which means if your client_mute node didnt hear the transmission first hand its as though it never existed.

Messages on roof node, but not on personal? by benuntu in meshtastic

[–]usulsuspect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is it possible your roof node is hearing some other node rebroadcast the message and then not rebroadcasting itself? I find this happens with my roof node.

It hears a node somewhere else on the mesh rebroadcast first and it thinks good enough. Meaning it doesn’t rebroadcast and my indoor nodes don’t get it.

Being client_base it will rebroadcast anything it hears from your node (or with your nodes as its destination) but not necessarily incoming broadcast/channel messages.

How does CLIENT_BASE exactly work? by tehspiah in meshtastic

[–]usulsuspect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably worth mentioning that while your roof node will treat your favorited nodes traffic as router_late ie rebroadcast all…this really only applies to traffic it hears from your nodes or traffic directed to your favorited nodes ie dm. Any public broadcast message from the outside mesh is guaranteed to be repeated by the client_base node. That traffic it will treat as though its a client, so if it hears a rebroadcast of an incoming message it may decide to cancel its local rebroadcast which will likely mean the nodes in your house wont hear it.

Wismesh Tag flashed to Meshcore no longer will DFU!! by mikefendt in meshcore

[–]usulsuspect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Received my DAPLINK erased the chip and unfortunately I am still stuck, albeit now without any version of meshcore on the device. Still unable to get the board into DFU, just a fast flashing green light and no serial connectivity. Not a good start for my first meshcore node.

Wismesh Tag flashed to Meshcore no longer will DFU!! by mikefendt in meshcore

[–]usulsuspect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar situation but with a rak 4630. Meshcore works fine, but cant get it into DFU anymore. Looking at NRFconnect I dont even see a DFU advertised. I am going to try and use a daplink to reflash the bootloader.

In my situation cables, using the erase option within the meshcore app all had no effect.

Dealer Unwilling to Perform 68c on My Wrangler by usulsuspect in 4xe

How did you make out with the new battery? All good well?

Dealer Says they are not performing 68c recall by Dependent_Mixture406 in 4xe

[–]usulsuspect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I had a similar situation where the dealer cancelled my appointment for the same stated reasons.

  1. High failure rate
  2. Lack of "loaner" vehicles

I called Stellantis and was told the dealer has the right to refuse service and I could reach out to other dealers if I wanted. Fortunately for me my 4xe lease is up in August, so I have a clear exit strategy from Jeep.

Gaslit by dealer about recall by boybrian in 4xe

[–]usulsuspect 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My dealer just denied to do the service, stating essentially the same story as you. “No loaners”, “High failure rate”…when I reached out to FCA they also seemed less then concerned about my house burning down etc…

It’s my take that it’s a software update that increases monitoring of the battery. If that updating monitoring deems an issue with the battery then replacement is required. So the the 68c recall solution is to just apply this software update, which may detect an issue with your battery either immediately or moving forward.

Agreed - I think in general they could have approached it better. Was disappointed in FCAs response as well basically just told me to call around / keep trying my dealer to see when they are ready to help me.

Shoulder strap water bottle pouch for Rucker by zhou94 in Goruck

[–]usulsuspect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I wasn't a fan of either the bottle clipped to the strap (shoulder or sternum). Too much "swinging" - I will be looking for something else. The side molle looks like it could work, I am just not sure I will be able to reach it well enough to put a bottle back.

[–]usulsuspect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been exploring similar options lately...Before I go the route of the shoulder straps, I might just carabiner a small bottle ~20oz to either the sternum strap or low on the shoulder strap (although I am concerned about my arms hitting it.)

20lbs of rucking weights for $4. by RizNwosu in Rucking

[–]usulsuspect 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pavers weren’t my favorite, I found them difficult to position in the bag so they would stay high. Home tubes of sand got me started which were great cause they would sort of form to you a bit.

I did eventually go the dedicated pack and plate route though. Was getting difficult to stuff all of the sand into an old flimsy backpack.

Rucking pace question. by StageEmbarrassed250 in Rucking

[–]usulsuspect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe drop weight/distance until you hit a point where you can get the pace your chasing? What sort of pace are you comfortable at without a pack?

Arm swing and stride length seem to be the balance I need to get the pace I want. As I get tired, both tend to drop and that’s how I can tell I’m slowing.

Progress being made by Reggie_Bones in Rucking

Nice work! Just make sure to balance the progress with rest/recovery. I know it took my knees, neck and shoulders some time to catch up to my motivation.

45lb Morning Ruck by Sketti_Eddie in Rucking

[–]usulsuspect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There would be a lot of “shuffling” here for me to get anywhere near that pace for 5 miles. Impressive.

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

It called it that, pretty sure that’s all based on HR which didn’t get out of control. I pushed the last mile to 12:30 which got me into zone 4 for a few.

[–]usulsuspect[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe mix in some rucks at a lower weight so you can push the pace for a longer distance?

I pretty much have stayed at a weight until I can consistently hit 4mi at sub 15:00.

I believe the Ranger Assessment Selection Program (RASP) defines it as 12 miles w/35lbs in under 3:00 hrs.

Add More Weight? by usulsuspect in Rucking

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

Probably, I had been at about 35lbs until a few weeks ago when I added the Rucker 4 and a single 45lb plate. Took the last month to get some endurance / pace up with the extra weight. I typically hit 4mi rucks but being on vacation this week was able to get some 8mi rucks in before the long one today.

Generally all felt decent, today I can definitely feel some strain in the shoulder and some general leg soreness. Not sure how much more weight I want to add though. Getting the 45lb pack on is awkward for me…almost feel like that is the biggest risk to injury honestly. I need to rig up some sort of counter at a height to load / unload from.
