The local meshtastic group is learning about the #meshtastic to #HAMRadio pipeline 😅 🗼📻

Have my own little #meshtastic node now, and I have no idea what I'm doing. I already want to upgrade my antenna.

Genuinely impressed with #meshtastic thus far. I've got a pair of ThinkNode M2s, and the antennas that come with them are literally bits of printed circuit board, and yet they've managed to get a surprising bit of range (maybe 300m) out of them with suboptimal placement and no special care. I can see that with a real antenna and an elevated position they'd go quite well. https://meshtastic.org/

Whatever stroke of luck that was giving my #meshtastic node access to the rest of the mesh is gone. Until yesterday there was an otherwise silent node out there that was forwarding packets to and from mine. I'm now anxiously awaiting my new antenna to arrive, because it feels wrong for my tiny radio child to be cut off from its friends.

Baby's first solar powered LoRa #meshtastic node. Still waiting on a better antenna.

So here's something I'm not understanding about #meshtastic. On channel zero, your primary channel will always broadcasts location even if you disable it. Thats what I read somewhere. So I figured I would put the long-fast public channel on channel 1 and not broadcast my location in public. This apparently breaks the interaction of the channels. So my question is now : If you're trying to communicate with somebody and you both have the same private keys but have assigned them to different channel numbers, does that break communications completely? Like, if you're a member of seven channels and your friends only on four and the channel numbers don't line up, can you just not communicate? This seems to be the behavior I'm experiencing between my 3 devices and the rest of the local mesh.

I should probably figure out a better setup for this. #meshtastic

Still troubleshooting radio or channel issues with the Heltec V3 #meshtastic radios. But I've got the Pi Zero Ws working so it can be the web dashboard for the devices in the network! ​:neocat_think_anime:​

The #Meshtastic / #MeshCore rivalry is pure nonsense, just like saying that hammers are better than screwdrivers. MT is awesome for adhoc mobile groups and discovering nodes when I'm out and about; MC is perfect for large scale, stationary community meshes. It's never been an either/or thing. This is your tribal brain talking. Free yourself from it and enjoy.

Took a break from software* to assemble a couple of new Heltec V4.3 Meshtastic nodes. These will replace the V3 nodes I've been as fixed bases in the office and at home. I'll be turning the V3 nodes into Reticulum RNodes and start exploring that space through those. #Meshtastic #Reticulum #Heltec

Announcing the BYOMesh! We've been hard at work designing what I believe is now the worlds SMALLEST & most CAPABLE LoRa companion dev kit ever! It combines the tried and true SX1276 allowing access to the full sub-1GHz ISM band all mesh enthusiast know and love, along with the SX1281 providing high speed 2.4GHz LoRa all on ONE tiny board. https://shop.dataparty.xyz/products/byomesh @dataparty@partyon.xyz @rfparty@partyon.xyz #BYOMesh #LoRa #MeshCore #Meshtastic #MeshTNC #Reticulum #BLE #SnoopUntoThemAsTheySnoopUntoUs

When I wrote a post on Meshtastic vs Reticulum last week, I got many messages asking "What about MeshCore". I have tried answering that question in todays post https://schulz.dk/2026/04/29/beyond-the-mesh-the-meshcore-paradime/ #meshtastic #meshcore #reticulum @blog #blogpost

Ob wohl jemand in der Umgebung von CH-5400 oder DE-501xx Lust hat mir einen Einstieg zu #Meshtastic zu geben? Ich hätte schon mal Lust mich ein bisschen mit #LoRaWAN oder #LoRa zu beschäftigen. Irgend ein kleines Relay an jedem Ort zu betreiben und ein mobiler Client der an einem Apple Macbook und einem Samsung Android funktioniert wäre noch toll. Da ich gar keine Ahnung habe, wäre ggf. ein Client toll, der auch Relay und Client in einem ist und per Wlan oder Bluetooth angesprochen werden kann. Aber an im Grunde fände ich per USB-C auch nice, ich kann ja ein Relay draussen platzieren und dann darüber mit meinem Client gehen, oder? Ich bin mehr so ein Learning bei Doing oder halt ausprobieren um etwas neues kennenzulernen.

@fasnix@fe.disroot.org Problem ist dass solche Technik nur dort geht wo der #Staat diese nicht aktiv bekämpft, weil sonst brauchts nur Schlägertrupps wie Basjij oder Armee mit nem #RTLSDR welche dann Geräte suchen um diese zu stehlen und die Besitzer zu knasten. Wenns so einfach wäre, würden Medien wie #RimjinGang kein #SneakerNet betreiben, bzw. gäb' es nicht #Toosheh…Denn Lösungen wie #Meshtastic / #MeshCore / #Freifunk … haben 0 Maßnahmen gegen "Elektronische Kampfführung"
