I bought this soldering iron at Harbor Freight and have only done some light soldering and the tip looks like it's been buried in the dirt on Mars for a millennia. I guess I need to upgrade before continuing my projects.
All parts printed and assembled to check for accuracy. Again, there's no license required for this one. Stay tuned!
Pin layout and GPS wiring diagram.
Second one ready to go!
My daughter and I successfully sent and received test texts to one another once everything was setup.
If you are going to use a GPS with your unit you will need to enable the GPS mode and then set the rx and tx pins that you have soldered to on the circuit board of the radio. Here they're set to 48 and 47, respectively.
Ruined one of my Heltec V3's by soldering and resoldering the connections for the hot and ground wires trying to get it to fit into the radio frame.
Installed the new direct drive extruder and hot end onto the 3D printer and successfully tested the extrusion of filament. Now to start a print!
