  1. I used #Bluetooth / #BLE as a short-range stand-in for #LoRa to test #Reticulum mesh behavior with #TBeamSupreme units.

    The RSSI graph worked: carry two units away from a base pair, watch signal strength decay, disappear, then recover on return.

    The GPS trace? Woeful. Useful lesson: RSSI test succeeded; urban T-Beam GPS precision did not.

  9. #meshcore #lora #reticulum #hamradio

    I live near 2 lora repeaters but have no direct line of sight. I can find good reflections on building, getting signal in -3dB range via a small yagi.

    The aiming of the beam is rather difficult due to intermittent ping or trace path in the app. Probably the repeaters have reception of stronger signals at those moments of failure.

    What would be a good easy practice to find optimal beam direction?

  14. I'm trying to figure out how to Internet without ISP, Starlink and all that, so: #Meshtastic, #meshcore or #reticulum? Are they even different? I have no idea of these things, the only thing I know is I need to do something about it while I can. And if it's repurposing already available tech and with the lowest energy consumption possible, much better #permacomputing #solarpunk

  19. Behold! 😁The first standalone LoRa camera, running micropython reticulum. I made a custom pcb which I’ll share separately. After TCP only interface tests were successful, I decided to use seeed’s wio sx1262 for lora interface. This lora board was already working fine with xiao esp32s3 and shouldn’t have problems with esp32s3-cam board. As it turned out I was right,. I now need to bundle this with solar panel, bms and at least two 18650 batteries. Esp32s3 is a power hungry board.

  24. Finally some real life progress with . Two transport microreticulum modified nodes 4.5km apart - solar with xiao nrf52840 Lora. I was able to send both ways few short and Link messages. Couldn’t test with image, because we had a thunderstorm with hail just after I put up the second transport node and signal was not too good😄

  29. Two $17 Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W boards exchanging encrypted poems over #Reticulum using Bluetooth only -- no LoRa hat, no extra radio, no carrier network.

    A small-board demo of #microReticulum in C++ with BLE as the link layer. Cheap hardware, built-in radios, real packets, real timing, real tinkering.

  39. The code 1.9.2 included a fix github.com/ratspeak/ratcom/rel
    and flashing from Chrome using the web flasher resulted in the working as an directly with no problem accessing my existing lora mesh.
