Here are two (three if you count the bird) of my characters: Glutanus, left and the sentient trashcan right.

A python program for 2-way texting with the REYAX RYLR998 33cm band LoRa module and the Raspberry Pi 4. GOTA with a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5, a RYLR998 module, five wires and ten female-female GPIO connectors. No threads: only asynchronous non-blocking I/O calls.

Code: https://github.com/flengyel/RYLR998-LoRa

Side-by-side SSH sessions into a Raspberry Pi with an attached RYLR998, running rylr998.py. Yellow is transmitted text; magenta is received text. LoRa indicator flashes red on xmt, green on rcv.

For reasons I cannot entirely fathom, I ordered a Meshtastic Station G1 from Tindie, and now I have to reprogram the firmware for 33cm amateur use, following https://meshtastic.org/docs/software/python/cli/usage#ham-radio-support

By sheer coincidence I had three 18650 3.7V 2A batteries on hand identical to those in the photo here: https://uniteng.com/wiki/doku.php?id=meshtastic:station#accessories_-_12v_battery_docker

Good thing my Waveshare LoRa HATs resisted my programming. The REYAX RYLR998 led to a programming project (still in progress), and God willing, I might even build a 33cm band repeater.
