@rorygeer@WillHNT@TuckerBrilli@helium A couple of mine had some activity. Not consistent yet. It looks like Helium released an update earlier for the manufacturers to push out to our devices. This should help get things running smoother, hopefully.
@ChrisVolkernick@WillHNT At that height i wouldn’t worry about overshooting. Overshooting becomes a thing when you’re very high up. Here’s one of mine with an 8dbi @ 10-11m and i’m on a hill.
@WillHNT@kcdjmaxx I had to upgrade one of my RAK’s a few months back. It was pain having to take it down from the roof in the middle of winter. Mast was frozen to the mount, lol. It’s been solid ever since. No downtime.
@kcdjmaxx@WillHNT Yup, the SD cards were a point of failure that would eventually affect all hotspots sooner or later. This will make them a lot more reliable now.
@WillHNT@kcdjmaxx Yeah, should be fine with those speeds. As long as it’s stable you’re good. I was going to say the same, we might not even need as much bandwidth with light hotspots. At least there will be much less data usage for sure. Good news for the off grid setups.
@WillHNT@kcdjmaxx How slow? I set one up not long ago on DSL with 5mb/1mb for about a week. It worked but ended up upgrading to cable 300mb plan. My first hotspot was on 9mb/6mb for months and it work fine, no issues. As long as its stable.
@stefz1980 Personally, i would lower the solar panels down towards the ground. Being up that high is creating a high wind load and making it top very heavy.
