Heltec Wireless Tracker (V1TR):


Named "N0ZYC Tracker"

AKA "Heltec HTIT", I picked up this one to have a box-able unit with built-in GPS

I haven't gotten it properly mounted yet, but the ESP-32 CPU in it is going to limit its uses as a portable
tracker, since it'd require a substantial battery (10,000mAh?) and large solar panel (20w?) to power it.

Wh test started at 1:00 am, BT and display are OFF. Power supply set to 4.0 volts, 2.0 amps maximum.
2.264 Wh used by 9:26 AM, that's 8.43 hours, averaging 269 mW power draw.

A 2,500mAh 3.7v pouch has 9250mWh of capacity, which should be about 34 hours.
