Is it a bird is it a plane?
No, its place holder to remind me..
So Tuesday im off on my holidays, the store is still open and kit will still go out don't worry. If you have any questions ask in our discord and tag in Roadrunner (Neil)
Im leaving Heathrow the that day so keep an eye out for XMT3 ( the car ) heading south to Heathrow. Upon take off ill be running one of the Capsule nodes XMCN - so keep an eye out for this! If you see it on a map then drop it in our discord. just for fun.
While im away on my secret holiday i will be running three nodes, Now these pretty RAKwireless setups will have various configurations. If you manage to spot one by one miracle or another the first person to get the node name and its location will win one of these nodes.
Thanks to Scott at 3Dchicken.co.uk and Alley Cat for sorting the cases in such a short time.
Of course i will be doing YouTube videos from the location so this will help you find where i am!
Node names to be confirmed but like all our nodes they will have mpowered247.com in the long name and the short name will start XM - as they all do.
So there, win a prize.... a node.. for free....
The reason for the title, well its like this, we have ben known in the past to get our deliveries in a little bit of a mess ( Neils handling that side of it now so its.. well better ) When i was doing it a few weeks ago i kinda cocked a few things up. One of those mess ups was sending two Zerofox3D Bender cases( did i mention we are still cheaper than Zerofox3D for these? ) to the same person twice... so he ended up with four.... Now in this day and age its not common for someone to let you know you have made this kind of mistake. But this guy did ( faith in humanity restored ) and he even sent them back to us at his own cost?!
Of course we offered to pay the tracked postage and any out of pocket expenses plus a little thank you for the time and effort.. I got a reply tonight saying not a problem and pay it forward to someone who needs it. How nice is that? you know you have a great community when someone offers such a thing. So if you are saving to buy a node and its your first then what im going to do here is give away a RAKwireless meshtastic starter kit. First person to DM me on our discord who's not an existing customer gets a freebie meshtastic starter kit - we are still trying to grow the mesh here right?
Hopefully this covers the "pay it forward" protocol and then we are also contributing as mpowered247 right. ( I haven't mentioned this to Neil or Ben yet )
/puts above on to do list
In other new the "super node" is still running in the summer house, that node is eating that battery like no other?! A monster Ecoflow Delta Pro is down to 87% after a few days... wow. Unfortunately im not going to get any more on the project till i get back from my holiday now- i will keep you updated on the levels and stuff on the Mpowered247 YouTube channel though till i go away.
Amazon, as we said we are going through the process of fulfilling by Amazon so you can purchase RAKwireles starter kits from there too. People are asking us about this a lot now but as we explained the units will be more expensive than buying direct from the mpowered store - Amazon wants a cut of course. If your reading this then you either already on our store or in our discord so please use the store as a thank you for being a community member.
Thats all for now as im trying to pack, well supervise the packing.
Dont forget i will be doing plenty of videos on our YouTube and the odd meshtastic based live stream so keep an eye out.
Thanks again to our community and technical team, this is what grows the mesh and connects people truly.
