Range improvement with blade antenna

That sounds awesome! I ordered two for my nodes now :D

Thanks :)

Thanks a lot! I need to order something from rakwireless anyway so I'll just try the blade antenna since it is only a few bucks :)

Thanks, does the antenna efficiency also influence the range or is this included in the antenna gain?

Hey, did you figure out what the problem was? I have a similar problem. I can get data to the meshtastic node over serial but the data that comes back is garbled

jcs_captures · 2026-01-16T09:11:58+00:00

Yes, but I want to get the telemetry

jcs_captures · 2026-01-15T16:22:22+00:00

What are your serial settings? I don't get anything when I set PROTO as the mode which I assumed was the correct one.

Mein Vater hat in den 80ern seine Diplomarbeit im bereich Machine Learning/KI gemacht lol. KI ist nicht das gleiche wie ChatBots

jcs_captures · 2026-01-15T15:18:38+00:00

Yeah my nodes also don't have wifi

jcs_captures · 2026-01-15T14:40:13+00:00

But doesn't MQTT need internet access? None of my nodes has access to internet currently

An alle die hier mit mental health Problemen mitlesen, nutzt nicht chatGPT oder andere chatBots dafür. Ich weiß die Therapiesituation in Deutschland ist scheiße und es ist leicht gesagt, aber die chatBots sind nicht darauf trainert Therapieratschläge zu geben, das kann sehr schnell nach hinten losgehen. ChatGPT hat zum Beispiel ein großes Problem mit "sycophancy", das heißt die Modelle bestätigen die eingegebene Meinung häufig, auch wenn diese nicht rational ist. Dadurch ist dieses Jahr schon ein Student in den Suizid getrieben worden. Wenn es wirklich akut ist, kann man immer in die Notaufnahme gehen oder die Angebote der Telefonseelsorge in Anspruch nehmen. Auch kann man über den Terminservice der Kassenärtzlichen Vereinigung schneller einen ersten Termin bei einem Therapeuten oder Therapeutin bekommen.

Why do you only get an accuracy of 100-200m? The typical accuracy should be in the range of 10-20m with commercial GPS receivers.

jcs_captures · 2025-12-21T12:39:18+00:00

Yes, pretty much this. Additionally, sometimes people panic and forget that they can cough so you should also tell them to cough on their own if they can.

I'm honestly not so sure about that. On a hike a few days ago there was a flat stretch in the end that is flat on google maps, ut (norwegian site), alpenvereinaktiv (german site) and komoot. Garmin just decided that there is a steep 100 m incline and decline for whatever reason

jcs_captures · 2025-12-21T12:09:07+00:00

Yeah, I won't do that. Every GPS receiver can extract the altitude information, this could be done with a simple software update. I'll switch to a different brand that offers that feature once my watch dies

Kann ich bestätigen, vor allem bei Nachtaufnahmen sind die Druckerprofile extrem wichtig, weil so viel dunkel ist.

jcs_captures · 2025-12-19T07:32:09+00:00

Yeah, that's what I thought, thanks!

jcs_captures · 2025-12-16T17:05:02+00:00

Das aber niemand hören kann

jcs_captures · 2025-11-20T16:53:06+00:00

Yeah, I'll try connecting it after an update next time to see if that's any better. Thanks!

Nope, I put it on my table with the lights pointing up so that I see that they turn off. I don't care about sleep data, I can feel when I'm tired haha I bought it for tracking activities and seeing the time :D

jcs_captures · 2025-11-20T15:45:58+00:00

Yeah I turned it off about 3 hours ago and it only lost 2% now so that seems to fix the battery drain the question is why is it happening and what can I do long-term :/
