Description

TECH:

This is a tiny enclosure that is made of two parts.

It holds a heltec wifi-lora-32-v3 module in place.

I removed the screen and the lipocharger to make it as flat as possible.
I use THIS Connector to attach the PCB to my phone.

Benefits:
 - LoRa is now always in my pocket
 - It runs off the battery of the phone
 - Its smaller than a smolhai
 - Meshcore/Meshtastic can connect directly via USB-Serial, no Bluetooth needed

Why?
Meshcore and meshtastic offer a way of offgrid communication that can not be censored or turned off.
Its super handy when there is no Internet available.
Both meshcore and meshtastic offer apps for android and bananaphones that make this kind of communication very easy to use for people outside of the HAM world.


POLITICS:

This is not really a political thing, but what isn't?
Since there is a "political content"  flag available on printables.com i will get all political below.

We can't sustain billionaires.


Our society plays a rigged, destructive game that feels like the world is a spa for 500 people and the rest of us is staff. 
At the same time our environment is polluted because barbie wants to have some fancy cake and decides to take their private jet from LA to paris.

F*ck this sh*t.
The revolution will not be advertised.

(printables said there was bad language detected, so lets think of the asterisks as u and i)
