Hi everyone, I got inspired to get my own T-Beam for meshtastic from this dude Ringway Manchester, and a whole lot of other people like Peter Fairlie, https://youtube.com/@peterfairlie2296?si=oHW7vHE_1aKrMLsz https://youtube.com/@RingwayManchester?si=rxsI-91_nTokmjAQ I am hooked up to MQTT and see a couple of people here (radios alone I get nothing...) Just wondering if there are any more people out there.

#

I set up nodes on top of MBS two years ago and had good success, but am not currently in Singapore, pop over occasionally though.

elder kite
#

Would love to make contact when you're here.

turbid marlin
#

I was staying there, yeah. I used to live in Orchard, but I'm out of Singapore entirely for an unknown amount of time for now.

elder kite
#

Aw man.

lone birch
elder kite
#

Yeah! I hope more nodes come onboard.

lone birch
#

there are a number of nodes of MQTT now..but more probably off MQTT

#

not everybody wants to be on MQTT so you will not see everyone in SG is that map

elder kite
#

Yeah. Mine is ZT in meshtastic.

lone birch
#

i am hoping to build more nodes in central

elder kite
#

Ooh. What's yours?

lone birch
#

i am not on MQTT now

elder kite
#

Ah.

lone birch
#

i have about 6 nodes and giving some to friends and family

#

and building more now

turbid marlin
#

No.

elder kite
#

Now it's mqtt first, because RF is a bit too weak.

lone birch
#

Its okay, over time, more people will join the network

elder kite

tidal dove
#

ooh remote like you have it set up in your office or somewhere and you can communicate thru it?

elder kite
#

ZBS (T-LORA v2.1_1.6) with a sma antenna.

elder kite
tidal dove
tidal dove
elder kite
#

It's a NCR18650B (3400MAH)

#

Good thing about the T-Beam it has its own li-ion holder.

tidal dove
#

oh! thats awesome

tidal dove
elder kite
#

Haha. Got some company to print it for me.

tidal dove
#

ooh nice :D if you want i have an a1 mini and can help print but only have .4 nozzle

elder kite
#

Ah cool! Dont think I need to print anyth atm ๐Ÿ˜‚

tidal dove
#

ah haha im in the process of strapping an 18650 powerbank to the back of my heltec

elder kite
#

Wah. Doesn't the Heltec have a JST connector tho?

tidal dove
#

yep dosent mean i cant do janky soldering XD

#

i just cut and add the connector onto things

elder kite
#

Haha.

tidal dove
#

my little guy

elder kite

Haha.

#

Nice.

tidal dove

its in probably the worst possible way XD

elder kite
#

Haha. I'm about to head to bed honestly lol.

tidal dove
#

Yeppp

Glad to see that you are using the design i have for Heltec v3. Just a quick tip for you. Use masking tape behind the keys to prevent them from falling out when you open up. Do you have M3 x 20 mm (Hexagonal Sock Head Cap and Nut) to secure the whole thing together?

tidal dove
tidal dove
#

Been opening it up upside down

#

I do have proper nuts and bolts lols

tidal dove
elder kite
tidal dove
tidal dove
#

will be printing it in resin instead

tidal dove
#

or something like this but without tpu

elder kite
tidal dove
#

i wana test the buzzer i added

elder kite
#

Will do.

tidal dove
#

ty!

tidal dove
elder kite
#

Got it!

#

Have you tried talking to my non-Mqtt node? Haha... Does ZT show on your end?

tidal dove
#

ooh?

#

yes it does!

elder kite
#

Ooh nice. Just did a NodeDB reset. Give me a moment. Then you can try and DM.

#

Wanna try and DM? @tidal dove

tidal dove
#

i sent a couple messages over

#

would you like me to delete you and then retry?

#

they all say acknowledge

elder kite
#

Yes

tidal dove
#

i dont see u yet

#

u could try sending from ur side too

tidal dove
#

acknowledged

#

i see u now

elder kite
#

Oh! And my Bluetooth disconnected rip. I'll get back to range and see if I see your message.

tidal dove
elder kite
#

Kinda odd to see 0% haha.

tidal dove
elder kite
#

I can see it on my other node lol... Weird ahha

tidal dove
#

XD currently im in a condo on 2nd floor and its sitting high on a shelf

elder kite
#

Haha

tidal dove
#

i see a few others on 0% player 4 heltec p4tx ash zt hktb ash1 SzH p2tb d898 iceSG

#

seems like thats just some bug in the software

#

is my batt showing up on your side?

elder kite
tidal dove
elder kite
#

Does my transmission on 9V1 go through? Haha.... Nothing received here.

tidal dove
#

yes it does

#

got a little song on my end

tidal dove
#

My node now has 4000-5000 mah lol

elder kite
#

That's cool!

tidal dove
#

used to have 1-2000 mah since i was using crappy cells, harvested the new ones from a worx battery

#

(btw @lone birch thanks alot for the model! :D)

elder kite
#

Ooh

tidal dove
# elder kite Ooh

XD if you have old devices and stuff i can harvest the batts from them

#

for lipos usually i just sand down the contacts and solder to the tabs, liions i buy battery holders for them

elder kite
#

My base station is using a Power Bank Li-Po, it was in parallel but the first cell puffed up.

#

Cut it out and threw it away haha...

#

Put on JST and now it works with my base station as a backup power.

#

I used petg too for everything except switches since I don't have it in white

tidal dove
#

yeaa theorethical max it lasts for is about 2 days

#

imma stop charging it for a bit, see how low it drops

tidal dove
#

hru :D

elder kite
#

Doing good haha.

tidal dove
#

nice :D

tidal dove
#

how are you guys doing :D

tidal dove
#

Batt lasting for over a day already

tidal dove
#

anyones node online rn?

#

havnt seen a node update in 48 hours

elder kite
#

Um might wanna restart your node.

#

Mine is still online.

tidal dove
#

werid

#

4th factory reset i guess

#

i will try reflashing software this time

tidal dove
#

How's everyone doing

tidal dove
tidal dove
#

@lone birch 3d printed a taller case

#

Or more of an extender

#

Your little tabs snap off easily

#

Hard to print in a better orientation

#

Mine I printed as two sections that snap together btw, used orca slicer cut feature

tidal dove
#

Happy new year btw

got a vibration motor too

elder kite
#

That's nice!

tidal dove
#

have not implimented the vibration motor yet

#

but i found one

elder kite
#

Ah. Perhaps under one of the triggers.

tidal dove
#

oh? wdym trigger

elder kite
#

Under external notifications.

I think you can trigger the vibration motor from there?

tidal dove
#

ah yea

#

im not sure if i have enough power for it too haha

elder kite
#

Ahh. Lol. True.

tidal dove
#

it draws abt 0.06a at 3.4v

Yeah haha

tidal dove

lil lab bench psu i made

elder kite

Nice.... Did you have to deal with mains?

tidal dove
#

mostly no, just modified an atx psu lols

added a boost into a buck converter which is the xy5008 thing

elder kite
#

Damn nice. ATX is kinda mains though ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’€

tidal dove
elder kite
#

Nice

tidal dove
#

kept the case grounding sooo it should be fine

#

just that the boost converter can go above 90v lol

elder kite
#

Lol

tidal dove

sooo theres abit of high voltage thats exposed but ehhhh

#

dont touch and ya fine ig

#

thing weighs like 3kg too

elder kite
#

Yep.... And keep yourself floating from ground.

Ah
