The Pinedio LoRa adapter lives thanks to Meshcore and pyMC_core!
The Pinedio USB LoRa adapter endured spamming a message at the byte limit to a Heltec V3 node for 30 seconds without issue.
Is your PINE64 RSS feed sad and lumpy? (It doesn't contain the full blog post, only a description) Well we have great news for you! We now publish the full blog post in your RSS feed (that's 65% more blog post per blog post!), don't know why it wasn't like that before, but there we go.

The PineDio USB LoRa Adapter is at the focus of a new effort to begin progress on potential new LoRa devices. MeshCore is the current protocol target for the USB LoRa Adapter along with help from the pyMC_core library project.
The current problem with the device is that the crystal oscillator is heating up too much and can cause clock frequency drifting instability. In a nutshell that means your messages come out garbled. This may eventually be fixed with a TXCO (Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator) to maintain a stable clock frequency.

I’m going to Arctangent festival later this year and there is no cell signal so I’m taking these three Heltecs and giving two of them to close friends so I can find them at the festival!
I’m going to be running Meschore on all three (my experience of Meshtastic is it sucks all of the air out of the room and good luck sending a message to any of those contacts you found).
So if anyone else is going and wants to hop on the same mesh, this is your heads up!
