Meshtastic X-Mini-Faketec powered "TinyTiny" portable Node

UPFRONT!

I created a Discord channel for  my Thermal vision builds but will add a #meshtastic  channel there as well in case you have questions or problems. Please remain to the meshtastic channel for all sort of questions as all the other channels are ONLY for my thermal builds!

Back cover with keychain / lanyard mount will be added soon! 

A toned down "Mighty-tiny"  removing the GPS module and antenna, the big 18350 1600mAh battery and the environmental sensor, the "Tinytiny" now featuring core features of a node like a display, navigation switch, prog button, reset button, buzzer , notification LED and vibra motor. and a much smaller and lighter 400maH Lipo battery.  Offering a runtime between 2-3 days depending on usage  it is recommended to use the "Tinytiny" in Client_Mute role. 

The building process is also a lot easier without a big amount of cables to bother with as the Xmini-Faketec board goes in and the only external things are the display, vibra motor and battery, thats it. 

The needed PCB can be downloaded on my GitHub or you can directly use the gerber file attached to the files. GitHub Link: lupusworax/MeshtasticMini-ultimate-: An improved and updated variant of the original Meshtastic Mini

Simply upload the provided “gerber.zip” file to the manufacturer of your choice and order the amount of PCBs you want, its that easy!

Important Stuff!:

Before you place the main board into the main case, make sure you removed all support material completely!!

For the OLED display I recommend to solder all the cables to the display, feed the cables through the recommended square hole and solder the wires to the board. IF you use lacquer wire like me they of course all have the same color, dont glue the frame  on top of the display as long you havent connected the display to the board and tested it, you will not have the chance to measure what wire leads to what connection of the display if you glue the frame one before that!! 

OPTIONAL: 

People kept asking where I got the cool cyberpunkish stickers, they are water transfer decals normally used on Gundam models, you can find here:

Easy display Color HACK!: You can turn your blue Oled display into a green one by applying a single layer of kapton tape to the display! 

Kapton tape for all purpose isolating components from shorting out each other and also used for the display color mod.
