Finished my custom build! (heltec iot tracker v1.1)

Had one of these boards laying around and wanted to see if I could get it working (large antenna for cool effect). Open to suggestions what else I can add!

So far everything works using a custom firmware config; wifi/ble, uc6580 gps and sx1262 lora. I also use a ST7789 2" tft and an spi microsd. I think these boards were meant for meshcore but it's cool to see them work on bruce better than even I expected.

The 3d printed case I made for it is a bit bulky, but I did want space to add more stuff later.

why should you use anything other than a marlbambu printer

this is from the main 3d printing sub, not even a bambu one

103450 works great on the nm rf hat!

The gap between the CYD and nm rf hat is big enough to fit a 103450 battery, with a little double sided foam tape it works perfect for hours on one charge!

Credits go to mason_swiss for the original 3d printed case and MyNameIsHate for the modification; please check them out!

I modified the model a bit myself since it looks like my GNSS module was slightly larger, and to fit a little power switch as well. I use the stylus to flip the module control switches. Only thing left is to add the battery level.
