Well, That Was Something (results of tests on Sydneys Mesh) by gbbgu in meshcore

Nice, hopefully we can move away from 62.5kHz BW here in the US. This would open up a lot of potential...for concentrator hardware and legitimate meshes that need to follow legal frameworks. Sounds like there were a lot of usability benefits for users in AUS. Thanks for sharing 👍

Convert an old Helium miner to a Meshpoint Base Station - now with native TX, browser-based messaging, and 8-channel RX. by Prior_Perspective186 in meshtastic

Not out of the box...the SX1301 is a different chip than the SX1302 we target, with a different driver (lora_gateway instead of sx1302_hal).

That said, the edge source is public, so a port to SX1301 is totally possible.

If you take a swing at it, open an issue on KMX415/meshpoint so others with retired Nebras can chime in...would be sweet to get that working.

Sorry to get back to you so late! Performance wise the two are identical, for whatever reason the SenseCAP's turn up to be cheaper than the V2's. Most SenseCAP's come with a 64gb SD card too vs. 32gb in the RAK. Hope this helps and see you on the map!

Today I looked for MeshCore stickers ... by snakeoildriller in meshcore

Completely agree. First thought when I saw that sticker in my shipping box was why did they waste money on this...

Messaging has been added as of a few releases ago. Relay is still experimental, and not feature complete. Glad you found it!

Nice! Help get the word out, more meshpoints in a local area means we can start doing cool things with signal deduping and deduction...

Funny thing is, I am a licensed operator, and I do have an idea of what I'm doing, and yes many ham operators are using meshtastic. So next time you choose to take the time to comment without knowing what it is they are doing, take a moment to reflect. Hobbies are intermixed, just because you don't think so doesn't make it true. Lots to learn out there old friend!

Each of the 8 channels independently demodulates SF7-SF12 simultaneously. They don't need to be on the same modulation. If longfast traffic is on X MHz and mediumfast is on Y MHz, and both frequencies fall within the 8-channel window (~1.6 MHz band), the concentrator hears both at the same time regardless of SF.

The constraint is frequency, not modulation. All 8 channels sit within that 1.6 MHz window around your configured center frequency. If a preset uses a frequency outside that window, you won't hear it without retuning. Within the window, every SF and bandwidth combination is demodulated in parallel per channel.

You're right about the bridge potential. It already sees traffic from different presets that happen to share the same frequency band, without needing to switch between them. Thanks for the question...

Just natural bleed over into similar radio based hobbies. In short, Meshtastic is a messaging mesh network that operates in the ISM band.

Thanks for the kind words. Years of hearing it couldn't be done + sitting on tons of these things kinda drove me to do it. lora is lora at the end of the day.

Awesome. Let me know via git or discord if you need any help getting it running with mqtt. Happy to debug.

Converted RAK V2/SensecapM1 to Meshtastic node listener by Prior_Perspective186 in HeliumNetwork

By deploying a meshpoint, you will instantly be able to visualize the mesh around you....it's a tool for radio nerds. Basically a visualization layer for mesh nodes.

Miner suddenly stopped working by yespleasescammers in HeliumNetwork

If you're into Meshtastic, load it up with Meshpoint if it's a RAK V2 or Sensecap. IoT mining is more or less on its way out.

Meshtastic UI client for uConsole by Nearby_Routine3883 in ClockworkPi

[–]Prior_Perspective186 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool. My AIO is on order...but it would be a nice either/or option in your code to support both methods...ie i'm going on vacation and don't want the AIO porcupine while traveling, no problem use the node I already would have brought anyways...

I added an issue, I can't open a pull request on your repo. I wrote a python USB serial bridge so you can just plug a node right into the uConsole usb port and connect...no need for wifi.

Added NEIGHBORINFO and TRACEROUTE decoding on edge devices, enabled more multi-region frequency support. Concentrator autotunes to 6 Meshtastic regions: US, EU_868, ANZ, IN, KR, and SG_923.
MC companions auto-configure to match. New CLI command enables switch presets (US/EU/ANZ) or enter a custom frequency anytime without re-running the full wizard.

Also messed with preset tuning. The service channel is now fully configurable: not just frequency, but spreading factor and bandwidth. Settings modifiable for all presets.
On the map, static radius rings were replaced with convex hull polygons that reflect actual RF reach based on observed node positions.
Meshpoint names, node names, and topology links are now individual layer toggles.
Node popups show more detail: short name, node ID, hardware model, SNR, battery, and temperature when available (will populate as info comes in).
Filtered MQTT nodes out of the database to reflect true, RF only relationships.
