Hello meshers,

A bit of an odd one this unless I'm having a blonde moment.

I have accumulated quite a few Meshcore companions over the months, and thought I'd do some side by side comparisons over the past few days.

On my companions, I have the default public channel & #test channel.

The messages received, presumably all relayed from my repeater just 30ft away, don't always match. IE - One of my companions might RX 25 messages on the public or test channel, yet the other might only RX 23 in the same amount of time.

For example, today, my Seeed T1000-E received 48 messages on the public channel and 70 messages on the #test channel, but my Wio Tracker L1 received 52 messages on the public channel and 73 messages on the test channel.

Adverts received on both companions were also slightly different.

As these are presumably both receiving signals from my repeater, shouldn't the number of messages & adverts be absolutely equal on both devices?

Has anybody else noticed this message number discrepancy between companions?

By the way, both companions were in the same room when I did this.

I see firmware available for many of the Xiao modules like the esp32s3, esp32c3, nRF52840, etc', but can't find any for the esp32c6.

Can anybody please shed any light on where or if this is available anywhere?

Many thanks.

Hi all,

I recently purchased a brand new HP BM2U2EA laptop with this spec': AMD Ryzen 3 7320U Processor | 8 GB RAM | 256 GB SSD | AMD Radeon Graphics.

It works well for what I use it for, but the battery life is dismal so I'm returning it for a refund.

I'm looking for a reliable and used Laptop, and it will only be used for web browsing, YouTube, and flashing firmware onto Arduino modules.

I intend to purchase from the Amazon UK renewed store for what it's worth.

Can anybody order some suggestions for a budget of around £500, please?

TIA.
