Rapidly moving my meshtastic nodes over to meshcore 🤘🏿

Going very smoothly so far. Meshcore is notably very fast at message delivery and delivery confirmations back to the sender.

Thinking I'll leave my primary meshtastic infrastructure nodes up and build meshcore nodes to deploy next to them so as the network matures I can do head to head comparisons.

Anyone have a #solar #lora #radio #rnode using #reticulum ?

Making a new #Meshtastic solar node with a #Rak #WisBlock

#meshtastic Can a #solarnode using the #RAK (#wisblock) wake up automatically when, following the battery system powering it having gone flat due to lack of sun, the battery is eventually recharged when the sun shines again? There has been discussion about a wake up / restart needing a manual intervention like pressing a reset button or unplugging and re-plugging the (solar re-charged) battery. This issue is really important in case the node is placed somewhere inaccessible. continued.... 1/10

#WisBlock #rak4630 using Android #meshtastic app. What does the blue light mean when it flashes on sometimes? Cheers.

#meshtastic #WisBlock #RAK19007 battery #socket polarity wrong way round. What is best work-around if I want to keep plugging in batteries that I charge using the right polarity?
1) Cut the cables & swap the poles of my batteries & then adapt chargers' polarity round? Is that a fire risk if someone then puts in a normal polarity battery?
2) Soldering out socket & turning it round?
3) An adapter to be had?
4) Adapt the socket?
5) Adapt the battery plug?

Very light #node....perhaps... will it fly ...? #rakwireless #WisBlock #rak4631 #meshtastic #drone #drones #HolyStone #HS175D

What is the #battery #connector specification in this #wisblock #baseboard #RAK19007 #meshtastic #RAK
Will it take a molex and/or JST connector?

Here's how we set up our own #LoRaWAN Network with RAKwireless RAK7248 #WisGate Developer D4H Gateway... And test it with RAKwireless #WisBlock in #Arduino

Let's copy the Join #LoRaWAN Network Request generated by #BL602 ... And retransmit with #WisBlock ... Surprise: the Join Request succeeds! 😲 Which proves the Nonce and Message Integrity Code are OK ... Probably the BL602 Power Amplifier setting is wrong 🤔

#BL602 vs #WisBlock: Join #LoRaWAN Network Request ... Let's check the Nonce and Message Integrity Code ... Wonder if we can retransmit the BL602 packet from WisBlock 🤔

#LoRaWAN Packet: #BL602 vs #WisBlock ... Seems BL602 is transmitting at Lower Power than WisBlock ... Let's check the Power Amplifier settings 🤔

Here are the #LoRaWAN Packets transmitted by RAKwireless #WisBlock ... Captured by Airspy SDR and CubicSDR

#LoRaWAN "Join Network" Packet transmitted by #WisBlock ... Looks similar to the one transmitted by BL602 ... Nonce and Message Integrity Code will differ of course
