Description
PDFUPFRONT!
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!

Added a printable Hex nut key to easily open and tighten the antenna counter nut.
I also added a base with a GPS Switch so it can be switched on and off on demand.
Believe me you wanna go with the GPS switch variant as a constantly switched on GPS is draining the battery twice as fast!!

Always liked Alley cats design but it was to bulky so the remix this remix is based off is a huge step into my “ I like it” area, a slim approach does compromise runtime as the batteries cant be as big, but that for I added quick charging.
its 5 times faster then with the T-decks original charging circuit and it can be simply connected in parallel to the batteries BMS connectors as it does not interfere with the rest of the circuit, battery can be easily charged while in use as the PCB only provides 3amps @5 volts.
GPS Switch: (Optional)
Quick charging PCB:
Metal belt clip:
GPS module (GPS +BDS):
M3 brass inserts ( 4.5mm) Optional!
