  1. Lots of mesh enthusiasts are doing a good job of introducing #Meshtastic and #Meshcore to their friends. Meanwhile, #Reticulum and #NomadNet are the real prize.

    ANSWER: "You don't configure a type. You configure capabilities."

  8. Just for kicks. Making a simple interactive html browser-based game for teaching kids the basics of mesh networking.. Want to play it and offer feedback? : )

  9. New updates of the rnsd-menubar app. Searchable, clickable lists which open the pages. I think I’ll leave this app like this. No need to re-invent MeshChat. Chnages are uploaded to GitHub: github.com/varna9000/rnsd-menu

  10. I've implemented imperfect rns:// scheme into MacOS rendering pages through rnsd-menubar app. It basically converts micron to html, so it can be shown on the browser. Unfortunately I can’t open rns:// in the same tab I type the address - it has to be a new window - but it’s still Safari. This essentially can enable putting rns:// links in regular html pages <a> tags and if you click it will open the nomad page in new window.

  11. #Cyberdeck Concept

    Haven’t built this yet! Just a rendering/concept right now. But it got us excited about maybe making one for real!

    Anyone out there tried making something like this?

  12. You remember how it felt to get a Gmail address in 2004? When you had to know someone to get in? And having one meant something? Or how about the people who grabbed the first dot coms in 1995?

    There’s a window like that again right now, and most people don’t even know it’s open.

  18. Freedom is a protocol.

    NomadNet lets you communicate, browse light weight web pages, and share small files across LoRa radio, packet radio, WiFi, and the internet.

    Built on #Reticulum. A cryptographic networking stack that runs on anything. #NomadNet works without kill-switches, surveillance, or central oversight.

    The same encrypted packets flow across vastly different physical layers. Simultaneously, seamlessly, with automatic routing between them.

  19. ok I'm leaving this flaky setup on for few days. If anyone wants to test it try connecting to tcp interface rn.varnatransport.com:4243 The node announces itself every 5 minutes so you should see it and then you can open the page.

  20. Just added particle sensor sds011 to the firmware. On the image below you can see a page showing both bme280 and sds011 readings. I need a custom PCB to get rid of these jumper wires 😁 The lxmf node example can also return the value of the sensors, when it receives keyword “sensor”.

  21. Mirando con interés el rollo de #Reticulum y la #NomadNet ¿Alguien active por ahí?

  22. Right. The port is getting actually quite usable. With addinng direct link messaging and file transfers, we can actually:

    1. Put a stand alone page on an esp32s3 microcontroller,
    2. Connect some sensors to it and put it into a solar powered enclosure
    3. Fire up the LoRa radio chip
    4. Put it up somewhere on a high tree

    and you can serve information pages with files (even camera pictures or sound recordings) and live sensor data over LoRa purely off grid!

  23. I need volunteers for a test. I’m hosting page on my experimental micropython esp32s3 node. Could you connect with nomadnet capable browser (MeshChat would do fine) with a tcp interface to rn.varnatransport.com:4243 and see if you can load the page? On the page there’s a link with mp3 - easter egg message (2kb) 😁 The page is hosted on the esp32s3 itself (below). I’ll leave the node online for few hours to see if it’s stable with more than one link (me).

  24. Latest changes (mainly node for page hosting and bug fixes) uploaded to the repo: github.com/varna9000/micropyth

  25. After some more testing, I could load page over LoRa. The page is hosted directly on the esp32s3. I made also dynamic loading of the bmp280 sensor data 😄 If you just run normal node, the example node responds to “sensor” keyword and echoes back the sensor data. So either works fine on all three tested interfaces - TCP, UDP and LoRa (Rnode).

  26. After some more testing, I could load #nomadnet #reticlum page over LoRa. The page is hosted directly on the esp32s3. I made also dynamic loading of the bmp280 sensor data 😄 If you just run normal node, the example node responds to “sensor” keyword and echoes back the sensor data. So either works fine on all three tested interfaces - TCP, UDP and LoRa (Rnode).

  30. Now it’s quite easy to hook bme280 via i2c and show sensor data on page, just using standalone esp32. No additional hardware needed. The page is served off the esp32 with
