I have a #heltecv3 with the stable #meshtastic firmware and the device restarts several times before running stable (it just restarts without 'shutting down'). I reflashed the firmware and checked all connections (battery and antenna) is this behaviour known/normal?
La taille compte finalement
What a difference a decent antenna makes. With either the small sma antenna or mini coil antennas that come with the #HeltecV3 all I could see on the map has a few dozen #meshtastic nodes along the Bristol channel.
With the 868mhz whip antenna from #paradar, I'm constantly seeing new nodes over the last 12hrs, people actually chatting in #longfast (from Cornwall). Maybe if I put the antenna in my loft I'll see new nodes north of #chepstow (CpNB)
… und dann noch einen kleinen Ein-/Aus-Schalter eingebaut. #meshtastic #lora #heltecv3

mein Paket aus den USA ist da *_* danke an muzi works für die verdammt schönen Kleinigkeiten ein #heltecv3 zum selberbau, ein #rak3172 mit allen Modulen zum selberbauen, ein #muziworks R1 (leider nur mit kurzer Antenne) und eine #SenseCAP von #seedstudio ... #meshtastic here we go!
nächste Projekte: autarker Solarknoten für meshtastic...
#TIL: Pressing and holding the #heltecv3 PRG button shuts it down.

The video is long but does show you how to do it and what to avoid. Highly recommended.
#meshtastic - like device and software BTW
I just set up a Heltec V3. Partly I think Meshtastic could be useful for occasions when I'm hanging around with groups of friends but nowhere near a phone mast. Partly I'm curious to climb some local hills and see who else is using the mesh network. But is there anything else that you can do with just the basic board and its teeny antenna? How likely am I to find people actually "online" if I head into a city and try sending a message? #Meshtastic #HeltecV3
Anyone have a #solar #lora #radio #rnode using #reticulum ?

Just in case you're trying to flash a #heltecv3 for #amateurradio #lora #meshcom like I do at the moment and use #linux like I do, here's the command for flashing the files that can be downloaded from https://icssw.org/heltec-v3-anleitung/ :
esptool.py write_flash 0x0 bootloader.bin 0xe000 boot_app0.bin 0x8000 partitions.bin 0x10000 firmware-mc-heltec-v3-4.34a.bin
It took me a bit to figure it out... screen is still dark
Tonight I hosted a #meshtastic #lora radio build night with #heltecv3 radios. My local cyber security guild @theNeonTemple sponsored the hardware and cases for members in good standing. What a great night of soldering and flashing for the same devices that will be used for #darknetng next month at defcon.Much credit to @ransomwear1 for your poster art!

awesome ! With the meshtastic mesh you can retrieve messages and access

Got my Random Alley Cat "Alley Chat" #beeper case for my #Meshtastic Heltec V3 in today. It honestly went together really easily. Quick solder job to attach the vibrate motor, a little tape to hold the wires down, drop in the buttons, attach the antenna, snap the Heltec down, install the battery, snap it all together.
The only minor pitfall is that I ordered the case from Etsy, and while the print quality is great, the "holster" is the beta molle clip that is not mentioned in the case assembly video. I expected to get the belt clip holster that was shown on screen.
Dneska se mi povedlo konečně navázat spojení přes @meshtastic , respective přes LoRa a ne MQTT viz. screenshoty.
Takto se to konkrétně povedlo z budovy školy dnes před zkouškou. Myslím, že docela úspěch.
