In construction

I think they’re pretty interesting, but they have so much manual labor involved :/

The coordinates of other and own node

I thought the app might be able to calculate it

Ah okay so it’s calculated on the node, not in the app. Bummer

Hmm not sure I like that. Apparently the default channel has too much traffic to be handled well by the esp32 devices.

I am not sure if the mesh size is limited. They’re doing “managed flood routing” which is like normal flood routing, but routers wait for a while to see if someone else is flooding the message already, then they don’t send it out themselves if they see it flooded. I don’t know how that behaves in different network topologies

No I am a noob at this as well. The heltec v3 seems to be the most popular device though.

For now I use it mostly for exploring meshtastic and trying to send a single message to someone else in the network xD

Thanks. Where did you get the channel from? “Show full details”?

I am in Germany. I would like to find a root topic for Berlin :)

Thanks I’ll search around.

But chatting through the internet kind of defeats the point imo.

Also I tried to connect to mqtt but it did nothing. Do you have instructions for dummies how to set it up? I used the meshtastic module config docs and it didn’t work ^^

Yeah my plan was without charging. But I found another solution anyways :)

Ok I figured out that I maybe can’t charge NIMH batteries, but by connecting them to the 5V pin I can run the board off of them :) I’ll try it and then report back!

Thank you very much

So I guess I could try to run it on three AAA batteries. Worst thing to happen is I fry the board, which was only 10€. I’ll wait for a reply here though

Edit: I meant AA batteries

Onboard SH1.25-2 battery interface, integrated lithium battery management system (charge and discharge management, overcharge protection, battery power detection, USB / battery power automatic switching).

Seems like this is only for lithium batteries. Maybe it can run off NIMH batteries but not charge them?
