I’ve got my Chatter2.0 up and running but earlier today, after getting the 5v boost board and adding/removing/shuffling it between the LiPo charging board to try and fix an incorrect power display, I found a new problem. I’m encountering an issue where if the chatter2.0 receives a DM it flashes the DM on screen, reboots immediately after, the sending node does not show the msg was received, and the chatter doesn’t show the msg after its reboot.
I’m curious if anyone has run across this kind of issue before. The only thing I can think of to cause this problem is the voltage changes from shuffling the sequence of the charger and 5v boost boards between the battery and device. But this has been easily reproducible after a more intentional reshuffling of the boards between power and device.
From what I understand the firmware should be expecting ~4.7v and I’ve only been able to supply it ~3.7 and ~5.2v, which is what got me leaning towards incorrect voltage being an issue. However, I also know that I’m wading in over my head on this device project too lol so I’m curious is anyone else may be able to weigh in and possibly steer me in the right direction on how I can best troubleshoot this.
I think I solved my problem. After getting a reply on the GitHub discussion for the device, I built the other node and began setting it up exactly as I had the first. No problems sending or receiving.
After flashing the stock firmware onto the first device, I put meshtastic back on it and began reconfiguring it the same way it was before. It began rebooting receiving DMs again. After a few public channel messages I got annoyed with the slow RTTTL playback. So I set it with a different, shorter ringtone and the reboots stopped. I guess some RTTTLs won’t work well for these 🤷🏼♂️
