Nibbler Plus - Heltec T114 Meshtastic Powered Portable Node case with SMA Connector

Say hello to the ultimate Nibbler Plus! Combining the Heltec T114 and it's crazy energy efficiency together with the smallest “pocket” Meshtastic powered node case with an SMA connector makes an unbeatable combo.

But Nibbler is way too small to fit the GPS module... right? That would be impossible?!?!... well NO!!! Nibbler T114 has an "bump" that contains the GPS module, covering it with just 0.2mm of plastic so not to hinder signals. (It's a blooming miracle I got this to fit trust me) Don't have the GPS module? No problem! A blanking piece is included that replaces the GPS bump!

PLEASE NOTE: Nibbler does not include the Heltec T114, Battery or Antenna (although a PTPlace Antenna with collar is an optional extra)

Other than support for the T114 and GPS module the design shares the original features of the original Nibbler Plus. Designed to be a companion to Bender (this is a Mesh network after all!) with the design goals being maximum portability, practicality, antenna flexibility and usable battery life.... with the T114 version battery life is now measured in days, not hours! (over 2 days with GPS enabled and many more with GPS disabled)

Nibbler Plus has the same footprint as Nibbler Pocket but features and SMA connector for using the antenna of your choice. The base Nibbler Plus configuration includes a flat back for easy pocket-ability and measures just 77x49x26mm. If you want to attach it “walkie” style there is an optional belt clip available (The clip is super strong)

For extra security Nibbler also has a strong lanyard slot which will accept a loop, a simple black lanyard with quick connector is available as an option.

Nibbler uses a 2000mah flat LIPO cell. Using this battery is only possible due the custom cable we include with each case.

Nibbler has a construction designed to be tough, portable things get dropped after all. The key to this is the “Niblet” on the end of the body which attaches with two included M3 Hex bolts. These bolts screw into captive stainless steel square nuts inside the body and secure the front face and rear battery cover and option clip (Allen key included!). Nibbler will not come apart unless these two hex bolts are removed, accidental disassembly is pretty impossible!

To summarise the features:

• Supports the Heltec T114 (not included)
• Body measuring just 77x49x26mm
• Support for a EEMB LP103454 2000mah flat LIPO with PCM chip (not included, see links below)
• Included custom made battery cable allowing use of batteries with JST PH2.0 connector
• Strong Lanyard loop slot with optional Lanyard available
• Optional Belt Clip
• Access to USB-C connector for charging
• High quality tough PLA+ bioplastic
• Stainless steel Hex bolts and nuts included plus Allen key!
  

Also available is an optional antenna designed and made in the UK by PTPlace.co.uk.  This is now available in both EU/UK 868MHz and USA 915MHz variants!  These antenna's are hand made and tuned for the specific LoRA frequency.

Adapting Nibbler to support the T114 with the GPS was a challenge that took a lot of head scratching to solve but the result is something I'm sure you'll enjoy!
