@Isaacmantx 4 месяца назад

I think my biggest concern with this device is the battery life. The ESP32 is pretty power hungry, and the battery in this thing is miniscule. I can't see this even making it a full day on a single charge. I think a similar device based on the RAK chipset, and its miniscule power consumption, would be a real winner. I'm glad to hear that Heltec is considering changing chipsets out. Honestly, it is time for a dedicated micro sized, low power consumption, chipset for the Mestastic platform.

@suzyamerica4679 4 месяца назад

I'm intending to put up repeaters with the Heltec boards. Very curious how the wireless stick lite compares to the standard Lora v3 in terms of power consumption. For all I know the WSL might be pretty good for repeater use on an energy budget. (OK I am a Heltec fan .. their stuff is reasonably-priced and easily available)

@NEOGEOJunkie 4 месяца назад

If they can put something together with the nrf chipset then it'll be much more power efficient but this is really great to see, proper non dev board type product. Speaking of products and the upcoming store idea your going ahead with (kudos) do you think you'll be able to stock the RAK wisblock meshtastic starter kits? They are pretty amazing with built in solar support, and the option for PoE, highly recommend them. 👍 Definitely getting myself another one at some point.

@kg-Whatthehelliseventhat 4 месяца назад

Hey Andy, Great videos, thank you. What does coverage look like in Japan? The frequency would be 920-925 but I'm not really seeing that frequency sold often. Would 915 be the alternative? Thank you in advance

@prepcommsuk 4 месяца назад

I’d seen it on the Heltec site and stopped ordering when I saw the shipping cost. Will wait till you get them in stock here in the UK and then I’ll have a go at swapping out the battery.

Meshtastic is also available for the Raspberry Pi Pico so perhaps we'll see that chip used in the future.

@Isaacmantx 4 месяца назад

The Rak Wireless Wisblock is a better chipset than the Pi Pico, energy wise. I think that the community will eventually b building a lot of devices around them (like the T-Echo).

@rcarter 4 месяца назад

I hate to shit on the device since it's not even out yet but absolutely terrible choice using eps32 with it. That means that effectively the only useful role is tracker and using is_power_saving. Otherwise that 250mAh battery is going to last an hour. Plus, their wireless boot means it's completely separate from the rest of the ecosystem who it comes to flashing. You have to rely on their wireless boot. Are there any backup pins for if something goes wrong and you can't flash via wifi? I definitely get the appeal of a device like this, but I wish it would have been more thought out. Not to mention they have apparently added support without including the project in any manner. It's great they are creating hardware to add to the ecosystem but it would be wonderful if they were a bit more collaborative and actually supported the project instead of seemingly trying to ride the popularity wave it's currently experiencing to make money. But those are just my opinions.

It doesn’t really matter. America is about to be destroyed. Romans 10:9-13 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
