    I’ve always wanted a backup network connection, no matter how slow. But i cant find anything cheap enough to be worth it. What service do you use?

      It’s not a fully redundant backup network. It’s a microcontroller called a particle boron that has a 4G antenna. I bought it because there’s no monthly connectivity charge within a certain usage limit, and I’ll never go anywhere near that limit with this use case.

      I learned about it from this cool YouTube video where a dude uses one to build a pizza compass.
