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"

Mine just came yesterday. As for now no nodes nearby. But also playing around with them.

no nodes nearby, but connect it to mqtt and you can at least start playing with it
