Bring-up Is Slow

A project log for uMesh

A 1" squared ESP32 module that natively takes LiPo batteries, charges them, and doesn't kill them.

As expected.

I've spent two evenings on this, and it should take one or two more.

Going through the prepared assembly plan line by line and not really having to think about it is waaay easier than just ad-hoc building.

Everything is also quite tight! I full expected this.

Fortunately, I have a microscope.

It's helpful, although a binocular microscope would be boss.

I expect the next two days of assembly to look like this:

Next time, finish the last of the support circuitry for the ESP32 itself and power it up. Flash with my test programs.

Final day: Antenna assembly, testing, tuning, and reassembly.
