The coordinates of other and own node
I thought the app might be able to calculate it
Ah okay so it's calculated on the node, not in the app. Bummer
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
Wife bad
No I am a noob at this as well. The heltec v3 seems to be the most popular device though.
I don't have one. It's to tinker with my first esp32 board and lora.
It's basically a hobby. If you live somewhere super rural or something it might be interesting to chat with your neighbor or whatever but I think meshtastic is still too much in the alpha stage to be usable really.
It might be useful on a festival or something, where cell networks are overloaded and you and your friends can contact each other via meshtastic. Idk if that would work though.
Yeah I might upgrade to a 18650 cell that I reclaimed if the phone battery is too small.
For now I use it mostly for exploring meshtastic and trying to send a single message to someone else in the network xD

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.
