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! 🙏

Meshtastic offers End-to-End Encrypted Messaging https://meshtastic.org/docs/overview/encryption/ #meshtastic #encryption
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. :-)

Cities around the country should be thinking about how projects like #Meshtastic and #MeshCore fit into events such as #NoKings.
It requires the support of technical members of the community taking the time to set up this infrastructure, which has a cost and is certainly not free.
I’d estimate some members of the #Boston MeshCore network have spent thousands of dollars on equipment.
For context this is what the whole #Boston #MeshCore map looks like right now.
The bulk of all traffic is concentrated around the area of #NoKings downtown.
The #mesh is certainly doing its job right now.
Community run, #decentralized, #encrypted, open-access #infrastructure at work.

This ought to be high awareness for anyone engaging with #meshtastic
Deleting an report made in good faith because you disagree with it on premise -- several times -- does not convey an approach I trust.

Over the weekend @meph added some mind blowing new features to lorapipe.
- APRS over LoRa
- Ethernet over LoRa

All of @meph 's work on #lorapipe is under MIT license.
Features like APRS over LoRa and Ethernet over LoRa serve some interesting niches we're not likely to monetize.
More than anything we want lorapipe to be a rapid prototyping tool for LoRa solutions. It's key for this to be as free and open as we can make it and I hope these features demonstrate our direction.
We'd appreciate donations towards the effort so we can knockout lorapipe v1.
Finally setup the github builder and now there's pre-release lorapipe firmware available for download!
We're building 79 different variants so testing on your favorite LoRa devices is highly encouraged!

I really like finding new creators who are going over technology in a way that is so clear and helpful. I found this new #youtube channel called BITS and BYTES going over #Meshtastic that is great.

@mkb great! thanks a ton <3
@noracodes You’re welcome! I’m only a few weeks into #meshtastic but I’ve been in full-on ADHD fixation. :)
Your area might have a local Meshtastic group. They’re probably worth connecting with. Mine (#BayMesh) has been really helpful and welcoming.
I'm hoping to fill a hole in my local #Meshtastic network. I'm looking at the T-Echo from Lilygo, as well as some of their handheld devices. #FediHiveMind, do you have thoughts about those devices, others you'd recommend more, and best practices on setting up an effective router node?
