Day 2 of #MeshCore experiments, let's go! 🚀First I'll try to see if I can send any messages with just my companion unit and if that fails, I will set up my second unit as a repeater on my parents' balcony...Thanks to everyone who sent in pics of their cute pets yesterday to cheer me up (after hours of failing to send any messages). Much appreciated! 💖

Update: my Heltec experiments are still a major failure despite the endless patience and expert guidance of @stereo (my mesh guru)... BUT! My family is maybe starting to take me seriously?!?Major pivot from yesterday... looking at me like: "what are you doing weirdo?"to today: Them: "Is anybody else around here using it?" Me: "Yes, let me show you on the map!" Them: "Wow, impressive!"Step by step 😅 #MeshCore

Update no.2: after erasing and re-flashing my Heltec v3 as a Bluetooth companion I am now receiving messages again! 🥳 And I can see adverts from Piemonte - some 200+ km away. Sooo cool!A message I sent to the public Channel this time had the label underneath "Heard 1 Repeat" (which I didn't get yesterday, after 3+ hours of experimentations).My repeater on the balcony may be a lemon, but I'm operational again - I think 😅 #MeshCore

Update no.3: my #MeshCore Bluetooth companion is picking up my Meshcore Repeater - YAY 🥳 We had to leave Paris in a hurry last month because of the brutal heatwave so I forgot the cases there. But here in Italy I have an endless supply of LEGO, so I built a custom housing for my Heltec v3 repeater, its battery and antenna. I really like it 🥰
