    Just grabbed a Heltec V3. How do you like yours? Did you add a battery?

      I ordered mine form china. So don’t have them yet. Will be here probably this week.

      I also ordered 2 batteries, 1 node will probably be just my home base so no battery needed. The other two will be portable so I will add a small 1500 mah battery. Probably need to design a case for them and print it.

      Are you enjoying yours? Found some other nodes already?

        I also just ordered mine from China and am waiting, haha. I ordered 2, just to play around with, really hoping I find some other nodes though.

        I’m also planning on printing some cases to allow me to put batteries into them for when I’m on the go. I should probably think of what I want to do for my “home base”
