17 days agoI’ve tried a lot of alternate keyboards, but I hadn’t heard of Heliboard. I just gave it a try and I really like it! Thanks for posting about it.

The truth is that everyone should be paired with a dog to help them deal with stress.
I have mine. It works wonders.
Aside from the outright bribery, Trump pardons rich people who were caught doing something illegal and punished for it. He seems to have strong personal feelings about that situation.
If you plan on using solar or battery power, I strongly recommend against getting any of the boards that are based on the ESP32S3 processor. Get something that uses the nRF52840 processor instead. The main downside is that you don’t get WiFi capability. Most people don’t use that, but it may figure into your decision.
The Heltec V3 is a great starter, but it uses the ESP32S3. The RAK Wisblock kit may be the best overall choice for what you’re doing. The pre-built solar repeaters I see are nearly all best on it. (I have two and they work very well.)
Another good choice is the Heltec T114. It uses the nRF2840 and it is one of the easiest boards to flash firmware onto. My repeaters are RAK Wisblocks, but my personal radios are all Heltec T114s.
And if you really want to get the cheapest possible board to start with, look at Seeed Studio. They have an ESP32S3-baed board that sells complete for under $10. If you want their case for it, that goes up to around $15. It does include an antenna, but does not come with batteries, and the case has no room for a battery.
