Really?! Compared to what?

Wisblock

For prototyping? Or production?

Looks really cool

I don't have any serious production uses currently

I like RAK's modular approach. They've got a good hw/sw ecosystem

Ready for ehash trade networks 👽

Runs pretty hot too. It'll do the job no problem tho

Great for $20. 3Ah battery doesn't last all day though. In contrast, the 5Ah on my t-deck lasts about 5 days.

For my solar nodes I use RAK because it's pure solar + battery power.

I'd absolutely use a Heltec v3 for something like a gateway to a computer network though. It's a strong contender for any use case where it can be powered by an outlet.

Hmm. Sounds like my 1500mAh batteries are under powered for these boards.

Correction: I have a 2Ah battery

I think 3Ah would get me through a full 24 hours
