  1. So I took the #heltecv3 for a drive with the dogs this morning somewhere a bit higher than at home #meshtastic #meshtasticuk

  2. @ele
    The heltec is up and running!!!
    HLHO is the short name if it ever reaches your part of the world.

  3. Mapeando nodos de #meshtastic en tiempo real con la #uconsole y un nodo muy simple #heltecv3

  4. Il mio primo nodo #meshtastic è arrivato. 🎉

    Non mi aspettavo fosse così piccolo. 😅

    Il primo problemino, appena aperta la scatola. Come falshare il firmware senza usare Chrome/Edge a causa della mia avversione a questi due browser?

  5. Hello #meshtastic and #meshcore yes hi I have ordered a #heltecv3 because cheap. Which of you should I put on it when I get it and why?

  6. Having easily got working on , I'm having ALL sorts of issues trying to get working on my two devices. I can't connect to either via (connects then drops) but I have managed to get one of them to connect via WiFi so I can power it it up independently of phone/computer. 2nd device is stubbornly refusing to connect to my WiFi :-(

  7. Using a #steamdeck to flash #meshtastic nodes? Sure. 3 #SeeedXIAO , 2 #HeltecV3 , and an older #tdeck. Then to find places to set them up for coverage in the #Aberdeen area. After the snow...after

  8. How did I miss the existence of MeshCore for so long? 😇

    Looking forward to playing with this. Heltec v3 looks like an easy starter for it. The v4 may have excess power limit issues, but looks good for a go-bag. (If things have got bad enough that this is your main comms, who cares about power issues?)

    Planning two devices. First as a BT5 connect to get it running with a phone. Second as a repeater to extend the coverage.

  9. Like I mentioned, I don't know a lot about #MeshNetworks, but I'd love to know what others think of the #MeshTastic systems. This seems to be a pretty up-to-date guide on how to set up a Mesh network (there wasn't a date on the piece, but they referenced QR codes). Personally, I'd rather go the #HamRadio route, but there's a few hoops to jump through for that (like the Ham radio test and licensing).

    How to Set Up Meshtastic: A Beginner-Friendly Guide You Need

    "Meshtastic enables encrypted communications over distances of 11 kilometers with uninterrupted line of sight. Setting up this powerful technology is surprisingly simple.

    "A LILYGO® TTGO Meshtastic T-Beam board costs just $30 and ships with pre-installed software. The devices are equipped with AES256 encryption to ensure secure communications between authorized radios. A single 18650 battery powers these units for days without charging, and solar cells can keep them running indefinitely.

    "This piece covers the complete setup process for #TBeam, #HeltecV3, and #TDeck hardware. You’ll learn everything about antenna installation, firmware updates, and message configuration to optimize your device’s performance in #OffGrid conditions."

  10. 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?

  11. 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... :awesome:

    Takes you through the software side using on a device by the look of it

    The video is long but does show you how to do it and what to avoid. Highly recommended.

    - like device and software BTW

  14. 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

  15. 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 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 🤔
