I’ve been experimenting with #LoRa #mesh radios, starting with #Meshtastic but recently switched to #MeshCore.

I can “hear” some messages from the larger mesh, but so far my messages don’t make it out (due to geography and limitations of my node’s antenna) so no one else “hears” me.

That said, I can still enjoy notifications like this, when my node sees another node for the first time. 😅 ✊

Ben ik ook mee begonnen, maar liep snel tegen wat beperkingen aan. De actieve community lijkt nu overwegend naar Meshcore over te stappen.

Au moins c’est clair, le transceiver LoRa est cuit ! J’aurais ptet pas du cheap out sur ce projet et m’informer plus sur les modèles, je découvre que cette version a un très mauvais process de contrôle qualité et que le transceiver s’auto détruit pour pas grand chose… Finalement l’investissement sera plus élevé que prévu 😅 #meshtastic #LoRa

#Introduction - A new home for longer mountain ramblings & tech dabbling!

After years on a managed Mastodon instance, I've finally jumped into the #selfhosted world! Say hello to my new personal #ActivityPub instance, powered by #GoToSocial from home.

While I test the waters here (and learn all the complexities of managing self-hosting!), this space will be for the longer-form, deeper-dive content:

1. Extended mountain trip reports with more photos.

2. Ramblings on my rather amateur adventures in #technology, #landscapephotography, #lora mesh networks, #degoogling efforts, and #linuxphone solutions.

Think of it as my digital base camp. If you're a mountain person who loves tech (or a tech person who loves mountains), we probably have things in common. Boosts and introductions are welcome!

Je pense que mon module a un soucis. J’ai tenté plein de paramètres différents, je découvre aucun noeuds (certains sont apparus mais probablement au travers de MQTT) alors que je suis dans la capitale au milieu de plusieurs noeuds a proximité selon les cartes en ligne. Le taux d’erreur me fait penser à un soucis avec le montage du transceiver ou avec l’antenne. Il va falloir que je tente avec un autre module prochainement. #meshtastic #LoRa

A peine arrivé que le firmware Meshtastic est déjà flashé ! Après avoir fait les quelques réglages spécifique aux Heltec et suivi les conseils de la communauté IDF, j’ai essayé de rejoindre Meshtastic mais malgré un peu de monde dans le coin, la topologie de mon terrain m’empêche de me connecter au réseau bien que l’appli m’indique recevoir quelques messages. A voir demain en rejoignant la capitale, il y aura forcément un peu plus de noeuds ! #lora #meshtastic

We're not officially open yet, so this is a pre-launch test run of radio night at @dma

Ik zie zojuist in #Nijmegen een repeater van @waag #Amsterdam binnenkomen met #meshcore #lora techniek.

Toch bijzonder hoe we samen een open source netwerk tot stand kunnen brengen.

@marleenstikker

Next week, students from Radboud University will visit. They’re very interested in mesh communications, and we’ll introduce them to MeshCore—another opportunity to increase the density of our local Nijmegen mesh network. A denser network means stronger connections across the Netherlands (and beyond).

Step 3 will be expanding my pocket universe to my #Community. I've got some #LoRa communication nodes and will be setting up some repeaters, hopefully sometime soon. Hopefully, I'll also be able to host a #Bonfire instance to serve the area.

( @bonfire Social 1.0 arrived literally as I was putting my Pi 5 together. Thanks for your hard work!)

#MeshTNC #devlog

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.

#lora #meshcore #meshtastic #amateurradio #embedded #esp32

Woot, done with BLE receiving. Added some new commands to control it all.

Still need to actually test the KISS output and support transmit.

But its been running all day and seems pretty stable.

#MeshTNC #devlog #radio #ble #lora

First things first, I want to make it so that the ASCII CSV output format for BLE packets roughly matches LoRa packets.

Every packet gets an arrival timestamp, type, RSSI and SNR values. Followed by whatever payload.

In the case of BLE packets there's also a 6 byte MAC so I slap that infront of the payload.

There's no SNR data for BLE so that's always 0.0. But the RSSI is good.
