Hello! I'm Tom, M7XXI on the radio. I am interested in lots of things, but on the radio I'm often on #2Metres and #70cmBand, and I run a few #meshtastic stations, details on tomprobyn.uk/radio. Outside of radio, I'm a hobbyist #soundengineer, currently in the process of becoming professional. I normally write about things I am interested in, including sound, radio, the open web, programming, linguistics, information architecture and Ecclesiastical architecture. #introduction

NanoVNA testing bluetooth antennas for a rooftop #meshtastic node.

Mixed messages.

Trying out #Meshtastic for the first time with these Heltec LoRa 32 boards inside this neat 3D printed case. The red one has a 18650 battery inside.

So far looks like there’s no one around me that I can reach successfully. Any tips for longer range comms?

Working on BLE packet sniffing and transmission for MeshTNC, bc who doesn't want to do APRS or meshcore over BLE advertisements 😉

My quick hack feels promising so I think I'll clean this up and PR it.

I know I’ve brought my #meshtastic unit to the right shop when I see an #erlang sticker.

Thanks to @photomattmills and his drill press, this outdoor solar node now has a connector for an external bluetooth antenna. It’s gong to be about 35 feet or so from ground level and I want to make sure I can perform firmware updates without getting up on a ladder each time.

Still getting used to the whole 500 characters thing so I guess you'll see a lot of threads.. I'm a rambler.

Also looking to learn more about #meshtastic and #lorawan to help facilitate communication and connectivity while living the semi nomad life. If I build a server into the walls of the van, I won't need a diesel heater for the winter... right?

This is a very complicated case, Maude. You know, a lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-you's. And, uh, lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Lotta strands in old Duder's head.

It’s getting busy up in here.

#meshtastic #baymesh

#Boston area #MeshCore has continued to grow over the last few weeks thanks to both the local volunteers who make stuff, design stuff, hike up hills, and install repeaters, as well as a number of very generous people donating time and money to make it happen.

We have been deploying nodes north into New Hampshire and increasing overall repeater density, which has brought redundancy to various links.

Every dot is a former #Meshtastic user repurposing gear.

Absolutely loving @vaurora's talk on crisis engineering and digital resilience!

From moving to European services to the #meshtastic Lan! #SFScon

Wooooo! Wifi Pineapple Pager has official FCC approval so they can ship this year.

I’m eager to get the #meshtastic
CLI onto one of these and have it drive a radio over wifi.
