I hope this is a good title ^^
Hmm I thought it was disliked behavior. I'll change it then!
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?
Android app doesn't use my location
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?
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
Das war vor Jahrzehnten schon ein Auslaufmodell
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 :)
My little macgyver meshtastic node ^^
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.
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!

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
Power heltec v3 with NIMH batteries?
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.

Stephen Fry into Ukraine

> Stephen Fry is invited to Kyiv by First Lady Olena Zelenska to co-host a conference on mental health in time of war. He discusses the war with President Zelensky, and tells him jokes . He meets amputees and the recently bereaved , Azov brigade survivors , and artist Nikita Titov. He experiences an air raid for the first time while a stint at standup makes him realise just how important humour has become to survive the war. > > At the Babyn Yar memorial to the holocaust he considers Ukraine's bloody history.
A very touching look into ukraines problems with mental health during wartime.
