        I should probably read into them before the world goes belly up. At the moment, I’m only somewhat knowledgeable about ESP and Arduino.

          It’s easy. Just get a nrf based device like the lil go echo and you are set.

          You can flash all variants of Lora network software and it has a built-in rink display if you need to read messages without a phone and also battery and charging.

    The funny thing is that that board is actually designed to be arrowhead-shaped, not just a shard sawn off a larger PCB. I wonder what it came from (assuming it’s real)?

      Perhaps a board from some form of drone that fits in the nose cone?

      Edit: Never mind, saw the comment about the #1 pin.

      I noticed the same thing. Maybe it’s AI. I don’t see any inputs or power source and there’s no indication that there’s anything big enough on the other side to be either.

      It does look close to PCBs you’d see in random key fobs but I think solid chance it’s a prop (or AI). If you look close and of course we do only see one side but a lot of the things you’d expect to see are missing. What could this do, how does it interact or connect to things, whats up with those traces and why are they going there, who made this and why is nothing labeled? None of that is definitive, but it’s weird to have that many questions like those on a real PCB.
