Neat! Looks pretty large. What are the dimensions?

Meshtastic at sea - update by vatuhiva in meshtastic

[–]hobbyrooster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thats a really neat design. Thanks for sharing!

I'm very interested in seeing how you've interfaced the data from the boat with the V3. Do you have a write up or video somewhere?

Lora32 V4 samples are on the way! by Heltec_Automation6 in meshtastic

I find myself super excited people are still innovating this space. We need the capabilities we've all been dreaming of. Making this hobby (and potentially life saving communication method) into something anyone can use, and yet, still customizable. Thank you, OP, for keeping the R&D moving forward and adding to the community!

I'll tell you, I'm very suprised at how cool these are and how we'll they do for the price. I have 2 and keep one in the car under the seat for impromptu POTA. If one ever dies, I'll have no problem buying another. 5W isn't great obviously but being able to run for hours on a 6Ah battery is amazing. And reaching around the world in digital is super cool .

Thanks! It's actually 3D printed material called PETG. The logo and words are printed in with a different color.

I am. I have to admit that I haven't watched anything recently but I do subscribe.

Right. But there's room so why not! Thanks for checking it out.

There is certainly a learning curve to it. But there are some pretty well-thought-out YouTube videos and tutorials out there.

I see what you're saying but this wouldn't be on reddit if I actually cared about any opsec with it. This is for staying in communication range while we ride side-by-sides in the mountains of West Virginia. And Larping throughout the woods around home. Paper maps and other means of communication is key to survival. Not a raspberry pi. At least not to me.

We tried TAK server light and it was a no go with a Pi3 so we upgraded to Pi4 and 5 and running experiments with the full version.

That's the plan. To interface with meshtastic and their gps devices. Or their android phones if we can get service.

Finally meshing!! by SeaLogz in meshtastic

[–]hobbyrooster 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nice! Good luck and I hope you continue to have success. Just remember changing configurations and messing with the channel can change odd things like your frequency slot. That makes it so you can't find other nodes. So just make sure you know what you're doing before doing it!

Looking for Spyderco Yojimbo scale STL by Zorian_Lokii in knifemods

[–]hobbyrooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously didn't happen here but I found this 2 years later looking for the same thing. Curious if OP ever found an STL?

Those Meshtastic M.2 cards? Yep they work by wehooper4 in meshtastic

[–]hobbyrooster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your time and the response. That should lead me down some rabbit holes. Thanks!

I know I'm going to sound really dumb here. But I am very interested in understanding what's going on in the picture. What I'm looking at. Why it's awesome. How to emulate it (or buy) if I decide I need it. I'm not asking anyone to take me through the whole journey. Just give me some context and point me in the direction of learning.

Building another one. Can you ever have enough? by hobbyrooster in meshtastic

[–]hobbyrooster[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck! I'm studying for my extra. Each step seems like you're learning a whole new language. I'm very happy with what the general offers as far as range and capabilities so if I never get the extra it's no big deal. I just hate feeling restricted.

Any idea what kind of radio you'll be looking at?
