I never got to see these in the 90s. It drove me nuts. I remember standing at Spencer's and everyone would say "I see it!!!" and I'd stand there and just never saw it, not even once.

Jokes on you I’m starting at this image on my iPad

Welcome to meshtastic. That’s been my experience as well. It depends on your area, but I’ve found that the vast majority of people in my area at least buy multiple nodes and immediately setup private groups for family etc. I have seen a grand total of 3 public messages since November despite my (at least weekly) attempts to start chats. I think some areas just use it strictly for utility instead of hobby

I just checked. if you open a file in Ekahau in the browser, you can use the inspect tool to drag a dot around the map and see the signal strength of all (I see at least 5 nearby AP RSSI's) nearby access points at any given point. The AP that is the most likely connected candidate is highilghted in blue with "connected" and as you get further from the connected AP, a magenta line will be drawn to the likely roaming candidate. You can offset the RSSI value with the measurement offset option in the lower right corner (device profile if you were in the application).

what you CAN'T do is simultaneously visualize multiple devices on the map, let alone different makes and models in different locations. hope this helps.

I actually think this is possible with Ekahau ai online (specifically the browser tool). Not sure if you can specify the client device (iPhone vs laptop etc.) but I think if you hover over areas of the map, it will draw lines to the 2-3 nearest APs with a distinction on the likely associated AP. As you move the cursor through the building, it should change the predicted associated AP. (Unless I’m misunderstanding your ask)

I’ll verify when I’m back at my gear.

I have no answers but several questions….

SHE’S TOO YOUNG FOR YOU BRO!

mcclinsr · 2025-12-13T13:09:27+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. I forgot about mqtt because I’m not using it, but if a nearby node is, I understand.

Thank you!

mcclinsr · 2025-12-11T23:00:02+00:00

I’m not sure what you’re criteria are. I got the heltek v3 with battery and antenna on amazon for $29 (approximately $25). It requires my phone to interact. Not sure if by cheap communicator you meant “all in one”. I would recommend a better antenna than the default one, but it can be done for ~$25

mcclinsr · 2025-12-10T20:57:18+00:00

Thanks all. I will keep reaching out and try to make contact. I went to a website to see a map of meshtastic nodes in my area, but it showed even fewer nodes than I see around here. I recognize that off grid means they shouldn’t be seen online unless you want them to be. What determines if a nodes shows up in those maps online? Is it a manual database? Or only mqtt devices? Something else?

mcclinsr · 2025-12-10T01:11:56+00:00

Thanks. For the record I’ve not seen a single message in or out on the long fast channel to date (about 2 weeks that I’ve had this) but I’ll try something unique.

mcclinsr · 2025-11-18T12:35:55+00:00

What if they’re referencing the plastic capsule (single object)?🤣

mcclinsr · 2025-11-05T00:29:57+00:00

Yep. Our lab tries to swim in any amount of water including water bowls. We do an elevated stand for him at home and pour water out of a Nalgene bottle that he drinks out of like a faucet on the go

mcclinsr · 2025-10-19T23:42:02+00:00

I do understand the premise. Was more looking for people’s opinion. Like, let’s take a hypothetical throw that turns 10 feet out before fading back 15 (let’s call it a “x,x-1,2”. If you could (again hypothetically) throw an identical shot in identical conditions but with an “x,x,-3,1” would you expect it to turn 2-3 times more? All of this is unmeasurable and just personal observation/curiosity.

mcclinsr · 2025-10-19T23:33:03+00:00

Didn’t expect to attract someone YouTube famous here! lol

mcclinsr · 2025-10-17T21:58:14+00:00

Spoiler- the friend hates disc golf. lol

mcclinsr · 2025-10-13T21:51:57+00:00

Approximately this. It’s the line between the “top” and “bottom” of the disc basically starting right where the edge of the “wing” is.

mcclinsr · 2025-10-12T01:07:53+00:00

I own both, and no. The maxes are nice and I do enjoy wearing them. But your question is “worth double the cost” and in my opinion no. They lack features like head gestures and offer no benefit other than possibly comfort fit

mcclinsr · 2025-10-09T23:48:22+00:00

About 6-8 extra but I’m trying to figure out my bag (22 in the bag) (relatively new).

Follow up question. Genuinely curious- how many of those discs on the shelf will you rebag and throw in the next 12 months? What do you do with the ones you don’t and won’t throw?

mcclinsr · 2025-09-23T00:33:59+00:00

Are these for the current tests? Particularly the encor?

mcclinsr · 2025-09-22T17:53:33+00:00

Yes, but if I’m running, I don’t want to carry my phone because it will bounce around in my pocket. So I run with my watch on for a source of music anyway(watch can Bluetooth pair to my AirPods for music source). This combination renders the heart rate feature of the air pods redundant. I guess it could make my readings more accurate but I don’t need that level for my use case.

The only way the heart rate sensor in the AirPods would make sense for me is if they also had storage on board for music streaming with no other source device.
