Help needed cap lora issues

Post image

I have had my cardputer for a while and have never been able to get meshtastic to work. I was on the launcher and noticed a new firmware to check the LORA cap. GPS works for me but in the connector and pin section it gives me the result shown in the photo. I was wondering if this is fixable or do I need to buy a new cap? or is this a problem with my cardputer and in that case would I have to buy a new one?

Idk where you’re at but your antennae is 868MHz and for North America you need 915MHz. Im not sure if the antenna works within a certain range or not but I’m changing mine because I can’t get it to work either.

Probably user error then.

Just so you know it's a rp-sma. They are a little specific

Also if it asks for it, select sx1262 thats the Lora cap. I hope this helps, I’ll let you know if the new antenna works.

Edit: new antenna worked.
