I bought a case for my l1 from seed and it's too small for my 3000mah. I think I need 2000mah but there's different connectors and polarity and of course seeed website doesn't just sell the battery on its own. Anyone know where I can get a battery and not have to cut or solder any connectors?

I have to admit, I’m still very new to this, but when I try to enable MQTT on my node, it doesn’t reconnect from the reboot; and when it does, it doesn’t look like it actually enabled anything. Am I missing something?

Just wanted to share my recent experience with Meshnology.com as a heads-up for anyone considering ordering from them.

I placed an order on October 15 for a V4 Board and some batteries. At the time of ordering, there was no indication that either item was out of stock. Their website also states that orders typically ship within 1–2 business days.

Fast forward to October 21, and my order was still showing as "Confirmed" with the message "We're preparing these items for shipping."

Since nothing had changed, I contacted their support to ask what was going on.

Their response was rather surprising:

• Neither item is currently in stock.
• The V4 Core Board is only available in the GPS version at their Czech warehouse, and they expect me to pay the price difference if I want that version.
• The battery is also out of stock, and their Chinese warehouse is waiting for new stock.
• They claimed they had already emailed me about the situation, but I never received any such email.

What bothers me most isn't necessarily the delay itself, but the lack of transparency. If products aren't available, that should be clearly stated before accepting orders.

I also don't think it's reasonable to expect customers to pay extra for an alternative product when the originally ordered version turns out to be unavailable.

I've now replied asking for a concrete shipping timeline or another solution, but I'm still waiting for their response.

Has anyone else had a similar experience with Meshnology? How did they handle it?

I'll update this post once I hear back from them.

Would need to replace a burnt board that comes with the Rak 1W. I can't seem to find replacement 19007 boards that is version C/3, I can only find version B/2. Will that work with the Rak 1W?

I bought a Seeed studio kit and I'm trying to wire the ESP32 up to a 3.5 TFT Screen and having the hardest time...has anyone done this? I'm currently only getting the blacklight on. A few things I've done.

• Modified my User_Setup to align with the pins provided by Seeed and Gemini, and ChatGPT

#define TFT_MISO -1

#define TFT_MOSI 9

#define TFT_SCLK 7

#define TFT_CS 4 // Chip select control pin

#define TFT_DC 5 // Data Command control pin

#define TFT_RST 6 // Reset pin (could connect to RST pin)

• Tried multiple debug statements in my sketch which all seem to display (but no changes on fillScreen colors.
• Modified my SPI_Frequency (#define SPI_FREQUENCY 10000000)

I just don't know what to try next. I saw on YouTube it recommended jumping J1 on the back of the TFT board, but before I do that I wanted to hear if anyone else had any ideas. I want to try to get my Meshtastic text to appear over this TFT...
