I hope this is a good title ^^

Hmm I thought it was disliked behavior. I'll change it then!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (4 children)

yup.

But I have to post it with the original title, correct? Or would it be fine for me to give it a more descriptive one?

This is pretty funny

 

I don't want to share my location to the mesh. But I want the app to calculate how far other nodes are from my position. Is that possible? What options do I have to configure to make that happen?

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

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 ^^

Held together without any solder ^^

Uses an old phone battery for power and is housed in the box that the heltec v3 hardware was shipped in. Unfortunately I had to bend a row of pins to fit it in the box with the battery, but this is only because on my model the two rows of pins are already soldered in. Normally they should be included extra I think.

I am seeing lots of other meshtastic devices, but haven't yet managed to send a message. Maybe I am not in a good location or I need a better antenna.

Kinda want to buy a second device just for messing around with two of these ^^

I highly recommend buying off of aliexpress directly.

Any ideas?

 

Is it possible to power the heltec v3 with NIMH batteries? Like maybe 4 in series (4.8v) or 3 in series (3.6v)?

Would it even charge them or is the charging only for li-ion battery packs like the 3.7v one that everyone suggests?

I don't want to buy it if I don't need it, I have old NIMH batteries in abundance and I'm not sure what my final setup should look like yet.

Ok so I got myself a heltec v3 xD

If you want to use multiple internet connections and combine their speed, that's possible. Dunno how though and I guess to work best it would need a server somewhere else like a VPN to manage the packets coming from different ips

Because it's not useful. Two routers still share the same frequencies and thus can't send more data over the same air. A single router can already use multiple frequencies to increase throughput. You don't need two to do that. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIMO
