I picked up the v3 board and didn't find any cases which used 21700 batteries. I fixed that. Fully designed by me with no AI. Fits the board and 217002P battery pack. The pack is spot welded together with the power leads by I. Plenty of room for other battery options but they would be loose. Cut outs for the antenna, LED, and buttons. Tested with the included stubby and muzi works antenna. I'm working on a case for v4 now as I did not care for the v3 and grabbed some v4 boards which are working way better.

I have a think node M6 mounted on my roof, and a T096 as my companion. When I look at the node list they both see 54 nodes, and usually anywhere between 6-9 online at a given time. If I send a test message on long fast I get a few responses, but if I try to direct message the same nodes it shows "relayed, not confirmed by recipient" and the user on the other end doesn't get my message.

I'm semi new to this so if someone could ELI5 that would be great

Hello everyone.

Since I joined the meshtastic community with my new Xiao ESP32-C3, I decided to design an interesting case for this device to put on a windowsill.

I like the Meshtastic logo, so I used those shapes. It wasn't easy to fit it all into a small case. I spent some time r/3Dmodeling in r/blender.

The r/3Dprinting may not be perfect, but I might work on it.

The final colors were supposed to be the Meshtastic logo, but I don't currently have the filaments.

As you can see, there's a small OLED display on the front, a small ventilation window on the back, a button for changing pages in the menu on the top, and a USB-C port on the right.

I hope you like it. Best regards.

The first working bench version of my button-controlled Meshtastic handheld is up and running on a Heltec Vision Master T190.
The buttons now navigate the menus, and I can compose and send messages from the device. The screen shows the node world, inbox, channel, and signal info. I’m going for a colourful, pixel-art, NES-inspired look.
It’s still a bench prototype. I’m fixing some font spacing, text collisions, and emoji rendering before moving on to the finished enclosure.

Hi there!

I want to get into Meshtastic. For a portable one, which one should I buy? Or if you have others ones to show me. I'm in Canada buy the way! Thanks!

It has its own battery that is charged by a solar panel

When i try to connect the L1 with my phone, it shows the needed code on the device for a split second until it disappears again and even if i try to memorize it and put it in correctly, nothing happens
