Just gotta throw the battery in and start it up.

Finally got all my parts in:

CM5 core from Newark.

Gotta get a lipo battery still

Any tips/things to lookout for build advice would be helpful

I ordered the AIO V2 upgrade kit a few weeks ago. Is there always a long wait? I’ve gotten my uConsole and the cm5 core already from AliExpress/neward and waiting on adapter board still and all were ordered at same time.

Hello all! I just received my case and ordered an adapter board for cm5 from AliExpress.

I need to buy the core, everyone claims Newark is the place to go, however, there are many options

It’s for messing around with light coding and maybe some games, eventually I’d like to install an LLM. But that’s later.

Model suggestions?

Where y’all getting your extra bits and bobs? I need to pick up a cm5 and adapters etc. where’s your goto? AliExpress? Amazon? Random?

Hello!

I just got a

OpenSourceSDRLab uConsole Kit RPI-CM4 Lite with ClockworkPi v3.14 mainboard

Off Ali express. No core, WiFi version.

I know the CM5 needs an adapter, and I’m looking for suggestions. Or anything folks might think I need to pick up as well, would be super helpful

I recently got my hands on a thin 5th gen and a thin 6th gen. Is there anything stopping me from going to the larger size? I like the feel of the larger ones personally, I figured it would give me extra room for a better battery, maybe even add BLE. I’m new to the modding iPods.

Any advice would be helpful.

I have 6 - 8gb 4th gen iPod touches I got cheap

I will not have time to work on these.

Allegedly they all turn on. I have not checked, nor do i plan to.

I just want them out of my house.

Any interest send me a DM.

If I’m breaking any rules. Please take down

So, I’m working on building out a mesh. The older generation in my family was hoping there’s a way to make a companion node vibrate. I think it should be quite simple, but I figured I’d ask before diving into that project since I don’t have a 3D printer. Any components I plan to build would need to be collaborative or be printable and then shipped to me. I have several types and brands available to try in this application. Any direction or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have several devices all updated with the latest firmware. I recently set up a new repeater, which appears to be functioning, but I can’t remotely access it from any device except one.

Furthermore, the device that can remotely access the repeater seems to be the only one that doesn’t receive direct messages from the other devices. It’s also the only device that can log the repeated messages.

However, the devices which can still communicate; are able to with each other over extended distances

Has anyone run into a similar issue(s)?

Thanks!

Has anyone tried using a directional antenna to get signal further out of city? With many urban areas having trouble with node placement, has anyone tried using an antenna to point towards an allowed repeater to send signal further? Especially in areas with flatter terrain like northern IN

Has anyone used any of the small drone antennas for an external Bluetooth antenna to increase ranges for OTA? I’ve heard some good things. Wondered if anyone else has tried
