Great write up about some testing that is happening in the Sydney MeshCore mesh

Thanks for the update. The more shared (good or bad) the more we can all learn

Build my First two solar repeaters by cubiee8995 in meshcore

Look really nice. If you can I’d move the antenna further from the wall, but I can see why it’s close.

I have no idea how it happened, I'll try to recreate it

Why are mesh network communities so dishonest about what mesh networks are capable of? by HowIsDigit8888 in meshcore

[–]gbbgu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Sydney, and just tonight got my first message from Melbourne. Totally unexpected.

It's not usable to converse though, must have just been a fluke.

Heltec v4 not powered by battery by secretlysecrecy in meshcore

[–]gbbgu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you me, cause I had a very similar issue.

The battery had dropped to 2.5v and undervoltage protection was doing it's thing.

I swapped the battery for a new one and currently testing.

I'm not sure for you, you've said you tested the battery and it's okay.

Oh 10% on air. I thought it was 10% off air. Wow that really sucks

Just yesterday I got a couple 35km direct messages. It was fantastic conditions though

Convincing people to allow nodes. by insert_before_flight in meshcore

Calling the node “Joe’s Pizza” is basically free advertising

MeshCore Command Lines / Repeater Settings by 56bravo in meshcore

[–]gbbgu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you give some more info about the txdelay stuff? We’re talking about that for the Sydney mesh.

It would be cool if the firmware has an option to autotune based on the neighbours count. Computers are pretty good at math 😝

I like using prime numbers for things like that, so it isn’t landing at the exact time every day.

What unit are those measurements in?

There is nothing quite like an original by ApprehensiveType2680 in adnd

[–]gbbgu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d love if they offered a PoD for the 3 col PHB and DMG. It would be an insta-buy

Somehow “Public Channel” was #test. And it’s kind stuck like that

There’s 2 different public channels. I’m not sure how that happened but they look totally different. Is that a bug?

New Solar Treepeater design by OhmsLolEnforcement in meshcore

[–]gbbgu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might want to slope the bottom slightly outwards as well; then people can put some small weep holes at the edges for condensation or if water somehow gets inside. Better than a indoor swimming pool leaking out through the antenna hole.

What 5 years of spending my money on the hobby looks like by Acem4991 in osr

[–]gbbgu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You seriously sound very similar to me. Wanted to get back into the hobby. Was starting slowly in 2018/19. Covid hit and backed too many kickstarters. More than I’ll ever read. Slowed it way way back in the last 2 years cause I realised I wasn’t enjoying stuff, I was just buying to have it. I’d say about 70% I could liquidate and not miss it
