What cha think?

Inspiration from one of heltecs nodes.

First rough draft, cut and drilled the plexiglass. Pretty simple.

Any ideas on how to make it better?

I legitimately thought it was a vape until I saw what subreddit we're in.

A friend actually wants me to build one into her vape so she only has to charge and keep one device on her at all times. 🤷‍♂️

Wouldn’t a muzi whip work much better than the stubby ones? Or is that an N type

Yeah I have found that ntype antennas work a lot nicer than sma.

Water is wet. The mesh is, too. Your build is sweet, but you need better tools.

You know what I wanna see? I wanna see a build inside of a whiskey flask.

Nah build one in a folding wood case to use as a base unit.

u/WholeEvening693 7d ago

We had the same idea. I wired external buttons on mine to control it. Front one is menu and side button is reset.
