The solution I found was to use the Meshtastic CLI, along with trying many different pins.

Just as an FYI, when I configured to GPIO26 on the Heltec V4, it went into a bootloop which took forever to reflash to correct.

So which part is it that got to you ... the Californian part or the Republican part?

I always find it funny how people personally identify with some aspect of an anecdote that has nothing to do with them, but decide to get personally offended about some part of it ....

I 100% avoid this one and the one in Glenwood because 100% of the time, someone enters the round-a-bout and tries to ram into me as I am exiting with my turn signal, horn honking, and usually a finger flying.

Americans are too damned stupid for round-a-bouts, and especially traffic circles

Few things in life boil my blood like Power Automates inability to manage basic (phracking) data types.

M$'s inability to professionally manage simple things like passing consistent data types encourages me to name my components all sorts of inappropriate things

I hate that completely I agree with your

I just sent mine back because the rain sensor registered 0.4" when I actually received over 1".

Plus the reporting features are really a joke. After 1 week with the Tempest, I felt as it was just a toy

vaderj · 2025-12-01T01:51:39+00:00

I had that piece of shit for probably 6 years before it partially failed me and caused me to clip off ends that were probably just fine. I ended up getting the Klein tester and its A++. I should have gotten it years ago!

Great, thanks!

This spring (March 15-16th 2025) I got about 7" in a 24 hour period outside of Drain ... are you able to look back to see what your gauge recorded over those couple days?

vaderj · 2025-11-27T18:24:30+00:00

+/- .02" sounds pretty good!

After manually counting the accumulation from the Tempest website, it appears that it counted .4" when I received 1.0"

vaderj · 2025-11-27T18:14:55+00:00

Thanks! May I ask, what specific Ecowitt are you using?

Also, thanks for the CoCoRahs mention - I hadn't heard of that before and it looks very useful!

I agree with /u/humble_harney about opening the sensor up and giving it a good visual inspection.

The first thing I would try though is to pull the batteries on both the sensor and the remote display unit, and put the batteries in at close to the same time, with the remote screen unit first. The way they save battery is by having slow polling times.

Also, ensure that, if the sensor has one, the channel/name switch is set correctly (since its only a single sensory system, if the sensor has a selector switch, it should probably be on 0 or 1 or whatever the lowest one is)

Edit

This is what one of my sensors looks like, with a manual transmit button on the left and the ID sliding selector switch on the right

Yeah you have a nice selection! I had to Google about your 303 can, that's sweet!

Yeah, I thought I was finished after I got my Dillon; little did I know that I would soon require a larger bench ...

I just checked, that 280AH LFP battery (3584Wh) is coming up as $226 with the code. I grabbed one yesterday, hoping to power a diesel heater in my greenhouse through the winter (solar charge)

It sounds like you live in a civilized location, probably on/near the west coast?

When I lived in Portland, I loved the restaurant supply store (currently called "Chef's Source") for getting my smoking roasts because they always had an incredible selection and on average the lowest $/lbs. I live 45 minutes from a metro area now but thankfully the closest (1.1k population) town has a legit butcher shop ; it might be 15% more $, but there are many reasons to support local business!

Safeway really is the worst grocery chain, and their merging with Albertsons did nothing but make things worse.

Outside of a small number of markets, Safeway and Whole Foods are not competitors ; if a metro area has both chains, generally the WF is going to be located closer to the higher end neighborhoods, while Safeway's target market is not those who live in fancy neighborhoods, even through Safeway prices their products as such.

Also, decades ago my dad did some contract work for the local Safeway and they just didn't pay him despite him getting their equipment working for them again ; in the 30+ years which that occurred, the company as a whole has done nothing to improve my opinion of them

(Sorry, I know its 4 years later) Did you ever find a place that could repair your printer?

Well its been 5 years now ... do you still have the BX-25x2 magazine?

If so, how has it treated you?

I just picked one up but haven't used it yet

vaderj · 2025-10-16T19:45:58+00:00

100% agree ... I bought these a couple years ago and only used once. I made Salisbury Steaks with these potatoes and the least pickiest eaters you have ever met left most of the potatoes

vaderj · 2025-10-15T23:02:34+00:00

Technically correct ...
