Woah, have you actually gotten MicroReticulum working? As I have not yet, only usdled the standard RNode firmware paired over Bluetooth to my `rnsd` daemon. I saw MicroReticulum needed to be compiled from source, which I can do but just want to know if it is easy. Saw it needed Platform IO and all?

No idea if it is enough, the battery. I can upgrade in the future. But yeah it will probably die after some time as it did when I left it running over night. So I will need to look at that.

If I see correctly - you have TTGO, which is ESP32 based. I recommend RAK4631 they consume 10x less energy while idle. Super cool HW (and still compatible with micro-reticulum) 😊
