  3. Il mio primo nodo #meshtastic è arrivato. 🎉

    Non mi aspettavo fosse così piccolo. 😅

    Il primo problemino, appena aperta la scatola. Come falshare il firmware senza usare Chrome/Edge a causa della mia avversione a questi due browser?

  5. Hello #meshtastic and #meshcore yes hi I have ordered a #heltecv3 because cheap. Which of you should I put on it when I get it and why?

  7. Having easily got working on , I'm having ALL sorts of issues trying to get working on my two devices. I can't connect to either via (connects then drops) but I have managed to get one of them to connect via WiFi so I can power it it up independently of phone/computer. 2nd device is stubbornly refusing to connect to my WiFi :-(

I can't connect to either via #Bluetooth (connects then drops) but I have managed to get one of them to connect via WiFi so I can power it it up independently of phone/computer. 2nd device is stubbornly refusing to connect to my WiFi :-(

  9. Using a #steamdeck to flash #meshtastic nodes? Sure. 3 #SeeedXIAO , 2 #HeltecV3 , and an older #tdeck. Then to find places to set them up for coverage in the #Aberdeen area. After the snow...after

  11. How did I miss the existence of MeshCore for so long? 😇

    Looking forward to playing with this. Heltec v3 looks like an easy starter for it. The v4 may have excess power limit issues, but looks good for a go-bag. (If things have got bad enough that this is your main comms, who cares about power issues?)

    Planning two devices. First as a BT5 connect to get it running with a phone. Second as a repeater to extend the coverage.

  13. Like I mentioned, I don't know a lot about #MeshNetworks, but I'd love to know what others think of the #MeshTastic systems. This seems to be a pretty up-to-date guide on how to set up a Mesh network (there wasn't a date on the piece, but they referenced QR codes). Personally, I'd rather go the #HamRadio route, but there's a few hoops to jump through for that (like the Ham radio test and licensing).

    How to Set Up Meshtastic: A Beginner-Friendly Guide You Need

    "Meshtastic enables encrypted communications over distances of 11 kilometers with uninterrupted line of sight. Setting up this powerful technology is surprisingly simple.

    "A LILYGO® TTGO Meshtastic T-Beam board costs just $30 and ships with pre-installed software. The devices are equipped with AES256 encryption to ensure secure communications between authorized radios. A single 18650 battery powers these units for days without charging, and solar cells can keep them running indefinitely.

    "This piece covers the complete setup process for #TBeam, #HeltecV3, and #TDeck hardware. You’ll learn everything about antenna installation, firmware updates, and message configuration to optimize your device’s performance in #OffGrid conditions."

  15. I have a #heltecv3 with the stable #meshtastic firmware and the device restarts several times before running stable (it just restarts without 'shutting down'). I reflashed the firmware and checked all connections (battery and antenna) is this behaviour known/normal?

  17. In other news, the #meshtastic node I have been carrying all week has behaved swimmingly.

    Battery life is around 11 hours, maybe 12.

    Its a #heltecv3 with a cheap serial GPS (which seems to take forever to get a lock on power up). Amazon delivered me 1000 2n2222s and 2 ublox GPS units to the house today, which I'll use to set up some powersave features and switch the #GPS on/off via meshtastic's enable/disable function. Should extend battery life a couple more hours, at least.

    I hope.

    There's a few things I wish Meshtastic did automatically, like automatically switching to the correct subtopic for #MQTT based on GPS, so I don't have to manually switch from msh/US/XX to msh/US/YY when I land or take off.

    Look for AWED in the air, or on the ground, if you are wanting to see if you can ping me. I try to answer all messages with confirmations. I view that like #QSLing.

    Anyway, now that I've got another 2 hour wait in this frelling airport, I'm going to get some reading done.

    Hope everyone had a great week, and will have a better weekend.

  18. mein Paket aus den USA ist da *_* danke an muzi works für die verdammt schönen Kleinigkeiten 🎉 ein #heltecv3 zum selberbau, ein #rak3172 mit allen Modulen zum selberbauen, ein #muziworks R1 (leider nur mit kurzer Antenne) und eine #SenseCAP von #seedstudio ... #meshtastic here we go!
    nächste Projekte: autarker Solarknoten für meshtastic... :awesome:

    The video is long but does show you how to do it and what to avoid. Highly recommended.

    - like device and software BTW

  21. I just set up a Heltec V3. Partly I think Meshtastic could be useful for occasions when I'm hanging around with groups of friends but nowhere near a phone mast. Partly I'm curious to climb some local hills and see who else is using the mesh network. But is there anything else that you can do with just the basic board and its teeny antenna? How likely am I to find people actually "online" if I head into a city and try sending a message? #Meshtastic #HeltecV3

  23. Just in case you're trying to flash a #heltecv3 for #amateurradio #lora #meshcom like I do at the moment and use #linux like I do, here's the command for flashing the files that can be downloaded from icssw.org/heltec-v3-anleitung/ :
    esptool.py write_flash 0x0 bootloader.bin 0xe000 boot_app0.bin 0x8000 partitions.bin 0x10000 firmware-mc-heltec-v3-4.34a.bin
    It took me a bit to figure it out... screen is still dark 🤔

  24. Anyone have any pointers on running #Meshtastic on a #RaspberryPi ?

    I'm having enough difficulty with these #heltecv3 and #lilygo #tbeam devices and the firmware on them that I'm wanting to re-work what I'm doing for the "base station" I'm putting on the roof.

    Seriously, any and all suggestions, recommendations, and stories about caveats and gotchas woule be exceptionally welcome.

  25. Tonight I hosted a #meshtastic #lora radio build night with #heltecv3 radios. My local cyber security guild @theNeonTemple sponsored the hardware and cases for members in good standing. What a great night of soldering and flashing for the same devices that will be used for #darknetng next month at defcon.Much credit to @ransomwear1 for your poster art! youtu.be/j7IgQ8Ot7BY?si=Ryur2M

    awesome ! With the meshtastic mesh you can retrieve messages and access
    bulletin boards. Reminds me of... internet but no service provider required. Home-made net. #bulletinboardsystem
