Description
Meshtastic MeshCore Pet Tracker (Large Version, GPS + Faketec V4)
This is a large MeshCore-based pet tracker, designed for improved range, reliability, and GPS tracking. Built around the Faketec V4 board, this enclosure provides extra space for a GPS module and a bigger battery, making it ideal for long-duration outdoor use.
The design focuses on durability and usability for real-world pet tracking scenarios. The larger form factor allows for better antenna placement and stronger signal performance compared to ultra-compact builds.
Features:
- Designed for MeshCore / Meshtastic-compatible hardware
- Supports Faketec V4 board / Other Faketec
- Integrated GPS module compartment for real-time location tracking
- Increased internal volume for larger batteries (extended runtime)
- Secure, pet-friendly enclosure design and clips
Use Cases:
- Pet tracking in rural or off-grid environments
- Outdoor adventures (hiking, camping)
- Backup tracking where cellular coverage is unreliable
Notes:
- Make sure to properly waterproof the enclosure if used in wet conditions
- PETG is recommended, especially for clips. I used PLA enclosure and PETG clips.
- Adjust print settings depending on your hardware tolerances
Clips need to be glued into the enclosure, be careful when doing so.
