Nibbler Pocket - Heltec T114 Meshtastic Powered Portable Node case with internal Antenna

Nibbler Pocket for Heltec T114 is here! The tiny “pocket” Meshtastic powered node case with an internal antenna for maximum portability now gains the T114's crazy energy efficiency and multi-day battery life!

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

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!

Nibbler Pocket includes an internal PCB antenna for the smallest possible footprint. This antenna is very small and is ideally suited for use in areas with a high density of nodes or if you have a relay node or Bender close by! If you want a Nibbler with a bigger antenna I have that covered with Nibbler Pockets sibling, Nibbler Plus!

The base Nibbler Pocket configuration includes a flat back for easy pocket-ability and measures just 73x49x26mm. If you want pretend it’s the 80’s again there’s an optional belt clip so you can rock it like a pager too! The clip is super strong and replaces the normal flat back (if you order the clip no flat back is included)

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.

Something this small must have rubbish battery life though right? Nope, Nibbler uses a 2000mah flat LIPO cell that which thanks to the T114 provides battery life measured in days, not hours! (over 2 days with GPS enabled and many more with GPS disabled) Using this battery is only possible due the custom cable we include with each case (we’ve had it manufactured in bulk, no soldering on this one thank god!)

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 73x49x26mm
• 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!

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!
