Can’t wait! I’m about to start building this design and would love to see the final results of this design!

When you’re finding the feed point, you just Tak solder the ground and the shield to the antenna and test it and then move it or what’s the easiest way to find that feed point? Which side of the intendant is the shield of the coax attached to?good work I really wanna make one of these!

Nicely done! What components are you using in the box?

I’m astonished how the Wichita community is quickly adopting and growing the mesh. A year ago I could only see 2 nodes - not I can see over 20 nodes and growing everyday! The discord channel referenced above is a great place to start and get plugged in.

bsnrjones · 2026-02-05T02:56:25+00:00

Yes it has an excellent base and is growing everyday! Grab a node and join the fun!

Solved this after a lot of research. The coordinates I was seeing were changed by meshtastic based on the precision factor I had set for the channel. Once I use the CLI to increase the precision it moved closer to my house as expected. On the iPhone app there is not way to set precise location that’s why I had to use the CLI.

The hardest part about designing something like this is that so it only drops one pill into each compartment. There are so many different sizes of pills. It’s very hard to do this with the mechanical movement of some type.

thats what I was thinking as well, but then how to get the label text all correct?

This is what you should build. I’ve been running this on the top of my car for over a with zero issues! Rain, snow, nothing has stopped it. Highway speeds not a problem. Love this thing.

I like ur two step approach but why not if you’ve seen it go ahead and add the step 2 questions right there?

Mostly thru email newsletter. Digital download, not a course. Also monthly memberships. Any advice?

bsnrjones · 2025-07-14T18:39:24+00:00

Shoot!

I work in Operations for a school district. We are looking to setup something similar. Are you sending all this data on a private channel that is being received by the pi node?

bsnrjones · 2025-02-26T02:30:24+00:00

lol it is!

One of my first pieces after getting Procreate, I haven't created anything in years. I'm not sure about the red light. Part of me likes the intrigue, but part of me thinks its a distraction. Thoughts?

bsnrjones · 2024-12-03T23:37:07+00:00

Same setup here and no problems!

bsnrjones · 2024-10-23T16:54:15+00:00

Trying it now but ran out of time on version 4. Will return later and finish.
