  • @Peter-dd3br

    I like it, but ideally it should slip easily into a pocket, and it's a little too thick and square for that, so I'd suggest making it as thin as possible, even if that means it needs to be a bit longer, for example to fit the battery next to the board instead of on top of it. Think of a phone, they're quite long, but they disappear in a pocket because they're thin. I bet it could be a good 30 to 50% thinner with a bit of tweaking.

    This is a great video and I love this idea of using RAK boards very much. As far as my knowlege and personal experience goes, RAK boards are also the best when a Meshtastic node is used either as a solar powered repeater or router as they draw less current than LILYGO or Heltec, probably due to those two being run by ESP32, which is more power hungry.
    For northern hemisphere, the battery life becomes more pronounced as there's very little daylight during winter months and the node must rely more on the battery to function.

    Awesome case. You say the battery last a week on standby mode, how do you set up Stand By mode on the RAk module? My Rak module uses 13,5-14mAh off the battery wich would only give just short of four days.

    @heathcliffebird7514 Před měsícem

    we rely on internet as alwats-on, high bandwitth communication. We forget that we can bulk transfer (one time over internet, or by mailing or carrying info on drives). Low bandwith data tranfer is interesting. If you hosted the apps and ai and things you need locally rather than in a cloud, the informational input you would need to stay updated might be squeezable into long range, slow bandwith connections. If all ypu send is raw data and what's changed rather than bloated web apps ot html, there's more to this than sending texts?

      @@RingwayManchester From number stations to 80' vigilante soldering iron slingers. you are a great capacity for anything radio, but you lack Andy's boyish enthusiasm. This video is brilliant BTW. This device has the functionality of the T-Deck, without all its flaws, like its impossible high power consumption and no software support for light sleep it uses 1/2W. A device like this is so much better with a Wisblock and a lower powered display. Are you going to rats nest together something Meshtastic, to prove your right to the throne? The Nice-RF higher power LoRa radio module has the SX1262 and should be pin compatible, just needs a higher supply than the 3.1V the base modules need for their 22dBm, not to go in the footsteps of former pirates, but I presume it has a better radio receiver and filtering so it would be beneficial even when run at legal levels?
