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.

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.

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鈥檇 estimate some members of the #Boston MeshCore network have spent thousands of dollars on equipment.

Seeing an increase in #MeshCore traffic around the downtown #Boston area today. Glad to see folks out using it during #NoKings.
This is an example of community-run, #decentralized, off-the-grid #mesh networking #infrastructure playing an important role in society.
Folks are reporting that cell phones are essentially unusable due to the volume of people but MeshCore and Meshtastic are both functioning.

What's the vibe on #Reticulum, folks?
@noracodes Its the coolest thing! Sadly somewhat incomplete, so it can't be used to its potential. Still some major dealbreakers left:
- no (good) Smartphone Apps
- no native multicast (for groupchatst etc)
- no complete implementation suitable for microcontrollers (so you can't build a solarpowered mesh like we do with #meshcore right now)

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've been playing with #meshtastic and #meshcore a bunch recently. I've had some thoughts about the modulation settings used with both projects, and what that implies regarding kinds of hardware we're able to use.
I've written a blog post on the subject, and I hope you take the time to read it and provide feedback, if you know about these systems. Especially people in #Seattle where I know a log of this stuff is being used.

@nullagent I know you've looked into meshtastic v. meshcore, but maybe your network might have more insight. From what I understand, someone going by Cisien is responsible for some of that, but he's not on here. I've chatted with him on Discord and he seems cool.
Anyway, that's all to say that I'm having a lot of fun, and I'm genuinely curious whether this idea has legs.

Is there anyone on here who can explain the differences between #Meshtastic and #MeshCore and explain their relative merits? My sis @kazooloon and I are interested in getting started with one or the other.
#meshtastic / #meshcore / #LoRa people near #boston: assemble. Get me connected to your non-corporate non-ham networking. I have nothing. What is the simple beginner portable setup I could buy in the US today, either pre-made or as a kit, that ships from the US? https://youtu.be/oAo2sb8LpFc?t=12 https://cambridgemesh.net

An alle die #meshtastic benutzen. Kommt r眉ber auf #meshcore.
Gerade bei uns in Augsburg ist das Lora-Band so saturiert durch die Stadtwerke und wir haben jetzt mehrere Tests gemacht und k枚nnen sagen das EU Narrow Band funktioniert mit Meshcore am besten und holt auch nochmal mehr Reichweite raus. An alle die mit #meshtastic in #augsburg rumspielen. Kommt vorbei ins @OpenLabAugsburg@chaos.social
und helft und ein stabiles meshcore Netzwerk in Augsburg aufzubauen! Heute Abend w盲re zum Beispiel eine gute Gelegenheit mal vorbeizukommen
