Hello all,

I recently purchased a Cardputer Mesh kit, and also purchased the Cardputer ADV & flashed that with Plai.

Testing traceroutes direct, output power on Plai is consistently lower than that of the Cardputer Mesh kit - probably about 50%+ less at a guess.

Is there any other Meshtastic app' available that's the full 22dBm power output that can also connect with my phone via Bluetooth, please?

TIA.

Hello all,

I've done a lot of reading around, & it seems the ideal Micro SD for the Cardputer is under 32GB and class 10.

I ordered a Philips 16GB class 10 from Amazon, however, the dicks have sent a 16GB A1 variant - and I've read in places that these often don't function in the Cardputer.

Does anyone use a A1 class Micro SD with no problems, or should I return this memory card for a refund?

Many thanks.

A Cardputer ADV with LoRa cap is due to arrive with me tomorrow, and I'm interested in flashing Evilputer or Meshcore, or both.

To flash one or both of these, do I require a Micro SD card or is the Cardputer ADV sufficient for this out of the box, please?

Many thanks.

Hello all,

I purchased a Macbook M4 24GB 512GB from Amazon UK & it arrived today.

It was advertised as new, box was sealed, showing as battery charged 2 times (I charged 1 time), etc'.

Upon inspection of the limited warranty on the machine, it says it expires on the 22nd November 2026 - just over 6 months away.

Has anybody else encountered this or have I accidentally been sold a used machine?

I thought the warranty was for 1 year.

Many thanks.

Hello all,

I have Whisper OS FW on some of my companions (GAT 562 30S & Wio Tracker L1 Pro).

When messaging, I find I sometimes have to click the joystick more than once when entering a character - & have found this to be the case on a few of my devices.

EG - when entering the word "hello', I might have to push on the joystick 6 or 7 times as opposed to 5, but other times 5 presses is enough.

The devices joysticks in question all function fine with alternative firmware like SOSPRZ & Meshtastic when messaging.

Has anybody else noticed this, & what could the issue be?

Hey guys,

Very early this morning, I purchased a brand new Macbook M4 (Starlight colourway, 13", 24GB, 512GB SSD) for £1050.

It will be arriving tomorrow.

Initially I was very attracted to the Neo 512GB, but after reading around I got the impression that this will have much more longevity.

Have I made a good move, & how long do you guys think this will be supported for?

Many thanks.

Hello meshers,

A bit of an odd one this unless I'm having a blonde moment.

I have accumulated quite a few Meshcore companions over the months, and thought I'd do some side by side comparisons over the past few days.

On my companions, I have the default public channel & #test channel.

The messages received, presumably all relayed from my repeater just 30ft away, don't always match. IE - One of my companions might RX 25 messages on the public or test channel, yet the other might only RX 23 in the same amount of time.

For example, today, my Seeed T1000-E received 48 messages on the public channel and 70 messages on the #test channel, but my Wio Tracker L1 received 52 messages on the public channel and 73 messages on the test channel.

Adverts received on both companions were also slightly different.

As these are presumably both receiving signals from my repeater, shouldn't the number of messages & adverts be absolutely equal on both devices?

Has anybody else noticed this message number discrepancy between companions?

By the way, both companions were in the same room when I did this.

I see firmware available for many of the Xiao modules like the esp32s3, esp32c3, nRF52840, etc', but can't find any for the esp32c6.

Can anybody please shed any light on where or if this is available anywhere?

Many thanks.

Hi all,

I recently purchased a brand new HP BM2U2EA laptop with this spec': AMD Ryzen 3 7320U Processor | 8 GB RAM | 256 GB SSD | AMD Radeon Graphics.

It works well for what I use it for, but the battery life is dismal so I'm returning it for a refund.

I'm looking for a reliable and used Laptop, and it will only be used for web browsing, YouTube, and flashing firmware onto Arduino modules.

I intend to purchase from the Amazon UK renewed store for what it's worth.

Can anybody order some suggestions for a budget of around £500, please?

TIA.
