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.

Hello, world. I'm Yrys. Rapidly approaching my 30s, musician, nerd, gardener and about a million other things, I guess.
Reformed IT Support Engineer, turned Events worker with a massive interest in leveraging tech to help build immersive experiences, as well as the nitty gritty that helps make them work.
Learning #touchdesigner and #blender for the pretty colours and flashing lights, spinning tunes with #rekordbox and building my own pirate radio station - all in the name of #opensource
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.
#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!

We have found that once #Meshtastic users have experienced the better performance and reliability of #MeshCore, they immediately switch. Folks are shocked to see delivery notifications, faster default RF presets (closer to MediumFast on Meshtastic), and they are no longer limited to 3-5 hops in practice.
We are doing 8+ hops reliably in what is essentially a metro-wide area chat room.
If you can reach any repeater on the map, you can reach any user within our mesh.

From moving to European services to the #meshtastic Lan! #SFScon
Meanwhile, back at the #meshtastic ranch, I built and configured three more nodes tonight.
Two have T-Beam supreme inside. The little T114 will be my one remaining node on Medium-Slow, just to see who is still around.
🚀 We’re excited to share that Meshtastic is featured in Make: Magazine’s 2026 Boards Guide, inside Vol. 95! 🙌📡
Huge thanks to contributor Jon "ShakataGaNai" Davis of the Bay Area Mesh (https://bayme.sh) and @makemagazine for making this happen. 💥
And shoutout to all the awesome hardware vendors who help bring Meshtastic to life! 🙏

Debugging some issues with my setup and managed to catch this nice spectrogram. This is captured from an RTL-SDR with the muzi works whip antenna, the cheap JMT bandpass filter for 915 MHz, and the gain cranked all the way up. The client sending the ping is a SenseCAP T-1000E, while the repeater is the SenseCAP Solar Node.
So after a few days of utter failure, I ordered a little +10dBi whip antenna and threw the whole #meshtastic node up on the roof. Immediately, 40+ miles range out of the thing! Gain and elevation count!! Now, time to build it into a more permanent form. :-)
