A community to discuss Meshtastic (https://meshtastic.org/docs/introduction)
I wrestled with the choice between these two earlier this week. I liked the aesthetics of the T000E better. It's slightly smaller and also friendlier-looking to my eyes (less likely to cause concern from muggles?) The Tag has a Death Star vibe...
But after shipping to my location the Tag was actually cheaper and has a theoretical battery capacity advantage. I'll have the GPS turned off so the Tag's greater GPS suck won't be a factor. So I got the Tag. We will see.
Under LoRa settings turn off rx boosted gain and you will save some serious battery. It took my t1000e from 2 days 20h max to 3d 5hr max. Tjat one setting extended the battery by 9 hours.
The thing with the tag dying at 44% means the ADC override in power settings is too high. I think the default ADC is like 4.9.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm surprised it made that that much of a difference.

It's cool that you submitted it to the project. I appreciate it!
