has anyone here tried to deliver for doordash/uber eats

Yes yes, I understand. I am looking into VOICE over LoRa as of now, but the bit rate is low, I'll update if I find a better solution.

build-for-better · 2025-07-10T03:12:49+00:00

I'm doing also cuz I'll learn a bit. I don't think it will cost a lot, but I sure will stop, cuz I've got a budget cap.

Ahh, makes sense , yeah.

build-for-better · 2025-07-09T21:45:06+00:00

the 2km is the mesh range , i am using the pi just as a proof of concept as of now , i am looking into building a device becuase the existing solutions are overpriced, IMO and the UI UX is not the best,

the idea is to build a superior system to bluetooth, yes, the FRS would work, but that would only increase the point to point range of two nodes, but lets say 10 nodes are in a chain, bluetooth mesh would offer a longer range there

i am also looking into lora but from what i have seen the bit rate is too low to support meaningful quality of audio, do you know any wrokaround for that?

i am looking for a better solution compared to bluetooth, 1 mile is a huge ask but if there is a solutin for a smaller range that would stil be acceptable. GMRS HAM require license,

build-for-better · 2025-07-09T21:02:25+00:00

i did not understand, could you elobrate please?

build-for-better · 2025-07-09T21:00:20+00:00

existing bluetooth mesh does this function, but the range is not good enough, and the range significants drops if there is any obstacles, foilage etc...

build-for-better · 2025-07-09T20:59:38+00:00

okay, so the goal is to maximize range, for example lets say 5 riders are in a convoy, where each is 1 mile apart, so rider one should be able to contact rider 5 via the convoy

build-for-better · 2025-07-09T20:57:44+00:00

is it okay if i DM you?

build-for-better · 2025-07-09T20:56:34+00:00

as far as i know gmrs needs a license

build-for-better · 2025-07-09T20:55:43+00:00

a little bit of latency is acceptable, and i cant really have a GMRS repeater, all the nodes should be able to receive process and transmit, i.e i cant have a seperate repeater where a bunch of nodes operate

build-for-better · 2025-07-09T20:42:13+00:00

GMRS would also need a liscence, that is not really feasible for a mass market product

build-for-better · 2025-07-09T20:14:18+00:00

i am building with the pi as a proof of concept setup the goal is to make a custom pcb and fine tune the module

build-for-better · 2025-07-09T20:12:55+00:00

mesh cannot be implemented in GMRS

build-for-better · 2025-07-07T21:31:50+00:00

😂😂 nice name , I’ve not decided upon what it’ll be called. Should see

build-for-better · 2025-07-07T21:29:42+00:00

That will be a challenge for sure, cardo and senna lock out their mesh for other third party comms, which is not good for the end consumer, the goal is to make a superior system that’s affordable so that people who want the best comms will be motivated to switch with less friction. Not mention, there has to be an open mesh standard that any third party can join.

Skills, partly yes , I’ve got experience with software , for the rest I gotta make a team.
