WisMesh Board ONE (B1) Meshtastic® Node development board + optional GPS - 3 pin battery version

New To Meshtastic

The product seems to be working well, but sometimes I have difficulty reconnecting to the radio via Bluetooth after my phone has gotten out of range. I then have to connect via USB and reboot. I can then disconnect the USB and it will then connect via Bluetooth.

Great board for DIY Meshtastic

I printed a case for this and was able to build a feature-complete Meshtastic device in no time. It’s great to have this purpose-built board, especially with the option for a temperature-monitored battery to mitigate LiPo-related risks.

Not clear improvement over 19007

I am making trackers and just made 3 with the Board ONE. So far, I don't see a clear improvement over the older RAK 19007-4631 starter kits. They are about the same price, same size in the case, but the B1 requires 3-pin batteries and has only 1 slot vs 3+ slots on 19007. I don't see a compelling reason for the B1 yet. Maybe they are more energy efficient?
