My favorite feature of the Adafruit YT vids: Shortcuts to each section in info! Man that's a pain to do but I want you guys to know we appreciate them! :)

Hey guys, I've got a Feather LoRa in australia, something I noticed which seems to be an oversight on the most the feather designs is there is not blocking diode to stop LiPo battery voltage or power applied to the 5 volt external pin (such as external power) from going back up the USB connector, I've modded mine to cut the tracks/bodge job linked the charge LED in two spots from the circuit to the USB connector in fear that the USB might not like power being applied to it.

I used a coin cell breakout with the switch and a single royal blue LED with a tiny 3d printed cover. Placed it right under the collar on my cheap leather jacket. Mebbe 48 hour battery life? But it's been a great conversation starter. It's curious enough for people to ask about it when I have it on, simple enough to explain in a few sentences, and a great lead in to open source hardware and electronics. (My rural town doesn't get much exposure to diy electronics, at least not at the community college..)

I think most importantly is it's minimalist appearance, it's not so many lights that it has become a spectacle. Sadly I don't own a phone, yet. But when I do I'll be adding bluetooth, lipoly batt, for some more complexity, blinking, fading etc.. But it has been really fun trying to come up with a use for a single led.

Can you link to the example code you used for the LoRa Feathers? Nice use of the OLED shield, buttons and the LoRa radio

[adamsocki]

How do you all make those little batteries that are attached to the radio transmitters?

if you ever release the LoRa Feather with the SAM D21 micro, i'm in all the way.
