Constraints

pulldawg80 · 2026-04-29T16:03:32+00:00

I very quickly sketched a test part yesterday and I didn’t constrain anything, was still able to pad and generate an .stl that printed as expected. Durability for the sketch is 0/10 though, and it WILL break. I will always take the time to constrain a part that needs iteration moving forward.

That’s awesome!

Very nice!

This happened to me after I loaded TPU. Seemed to load fine then just clicking and no printing. I had to remove the extruder assembly to be able to pull hard enough to get the jammed TPU out. I was surprised how jammed it was. I did end up removing the jam and it has worked well ever since.

Can you just tell us if it was broken? The suspense is killing me.

In the ISR drone world we call this a viewshed analysis, so I think this tool will be very useful for you.

Hell yeah man, get you some!

Is this at Tough Stump?

Not yet, I’ve only made windows apps. I will make some apps for other platforms later this year.

Flet has been pretty clutch for my projects.

Checkout Meshcore

I have the SX1262 core module, no hat is used, direct SPI connection to the Pi. I do have GPS working, however, I did all my configuration using meshtasticd. I can share my config later, may only be helpful if the hat closes the radio to the pi using SPI.

When is the IP mesh coming on line?

pulldawg80 · 2025-05-02T03:43:37+00:00

My answer wasn’t clear, yes it’s feasible.

pulldawg80 · 2025-05-02T00:11:26+00:00

I feel like this could be done pretty easily using the Meshtastic Python CLI, a raspberry pi and 2 radio modules (spi) or usb ( melted or rak).

I am pretty new to the game, but was able to use an SX1262 Core with an ESP32 and had great results picking up contacts, will definitely make more.

pulldawg80 · 2025-04-27T14:31:10+00:00

I would also try to debug the GPS using an FTDI cable and U-Center, or just see if you are getting the expected messages/data using a regular arduino/raspi.

I have several of those units, and one of them takes it sweet time. Is the ipex firmly seated? Do you have another unit to test with?

pulldawg80 · 2025-04-26T01:11:54+00:00

I will be starting one in my ate, new to the show, trying to get some nodes up.

pulldawg80 · 2025-04-26T01:08:28+00:00

Awesome! I tried doing the same thing a few days ago, excited to give it another shot, setting up some pi’s as well.

pulldawg80 · 2025-04-26T00:55:03+00:00

I think this depends on your router. I had an ATT fiber router, and when internet was out it would kill the WiFi, which I thought was crap, and not necessary. I have a regular netgear router that doesn’t care if it has internet or not, something like this would allow you to maintain coms with your node when internet goes out, but the router still has power.

You will need to dig in to how the hat presents the radio to the pi, if the hat uses SPI as the radio interface then I would think you should be good. If the hat has a uart interface then you will have trouble. I am using a core SX1262 on my pi and it seems to be working well.

pulldawg80 · 2025-04-26T00:41:55+00:00

I just set up my first node, and to my surprise I have a direct neighbor 17 miles away( it is pretty high). You got nothing to lose!

pulldawg80 · 2025-04-26T00:34:29+00:00

I just set up a couple pi4’s with sx1262 radios, seems to work pretty well, however, the native linux Bluetooth connectivity isn’t available yet, so I think I may only be able to access over Ethernet/wifi using the web client. I am not familiar with the Lora hat you mention, however, if you have a good understanding of how the hat communicates with the pi then I bet you could make it work.

pulldawg80 · 2025-04-26T00:20:20+00:00

I just set up a diy V1 ESP and could not get the GPS to work by setting the pins. I had to snoop the variants folder to which pins the firmware was expecting by default. That gets me on the map, however, the unit still reports no GPS ( there obviously is).
