Do you have any recommendations for a cheap Meshtastic-compatible board? I don’t need GPS or a battery, since I’ll power it with a solar panel or a power bank. Having a case isn’t important; what really matters is avoiding any soldering.
I’m basically looking for a low-cost board with an integrated LoRa antenna. The goal is just to experiment, connecting it via Bluetooth to a PC or smartphone.
I had to do a lot bit of research on RF radio repeaters just to get an answer as to why there isn't a analog radio repeater that repeats in real time and one of it was that it would effectively increase the transmitted power above the legal limit and there would be "packet bumping". it explains the the meshtastic protocol has to be digital. ... read full post
I got a kit and just assembled it. I tried to google it and I can turn it off but it powers back up after 5 minutes or so. I haven’t even set it up yet. Any ideas what’s going on?
I thought about being a "meshtastic pioneer" and in my head that means rebroadcasting on multiple frequency slots just so meshtastic user can connect without me independently having them to tell them what channel and modem preset I'm on. with my research it seems that there isn't 1 thing I can buy that can work on the entire US(915) band). im curious if anyone would recommend or has installed a radio repeator for meshtastic bands ... read full post
I just got these Heltec v3 sets for 29€ and plan to give one to a friend and keep the other for myself. ... read full post
With no guarantee that this project would ever be useful or even meaningful, I decided to develop a node called Meshtbank. ... read full post
The idea came from event firmware such as DEFCon and hamvention. The thought is that having an automatic 50/50 split between CLIENT and CLIENT_MUTE should reduce channel utilization while still allowing the user to manually change the role if needed. ... read full post
What are some good resources for learning how to create nodes. Say I want to get creative and make a solar powered node that I can stick on my car's roof rack. How do I even go about learning how to do that?

This was down in Mexico. Any idea what it is? It’s on the default channel.
I've made a little utility on Android that allows you to record audio > compress > encrypt > convert to base 64 and I am wondering if there are any ways to streamline sending the data over meshtastic or are there limits to the amount of characters you can send?
I think I have a decent setup (heltec v3, 3000mah battery, aftermarket antenna) yet I struggle to make contact with anyone. I'm a little confused as I do receive messages on the general the Long-Fast channel but my messages never seem to send or be acknowledged. Am I doing something wrong or is this just the nature if radio comms?

I'm curious about trying meshtastic, and I was planning to buy the Wio L1 Tracker once aliexpress sales start. Though, I have read that the antenna isn't quite great, so I was thinking about buying a better one. ... read full post
Finally after over a month of order issues I have one of my T1000-E trackers. It was easy to set up and connect and I see several nodes. Haven’t reached anybody yet. I am in Canada but the location on the map still shows Shenzhen in China. I don’t see anything to change that and was also expecting the GPS would do its thing?!
What the heck #meshtastic device is that with the T9 keyboard? It's got me seriously remembering my very first flip phone back in like 2005.
Side note: how do y'all carry your antennaed nodes while out and about? Like to the gym or errands
The lamp isn’t used/connected any longer. It’s wide open around the building but no way to get there. The tractor won’t reach. 😟

You know what would be kinda cool? A #Brailletastic. It would be a #Meshtastic node, but instead of a visual screen it would have a braille display and braille keyboard input similar to the orbit reader 20
Has anybody heard about this? I ordered a couple beginning of the month. They were back ordered with an estimated re-stock date of Oct 25. Now I get an email they are discontinued and it sounds like the order is cancelled. 😞
I tried to find another store in Canada who sells it but no luck?! Also if it’s discontinued what should I buy instead?
Is it possible to show the friendly name of a message sender instead of the short ID?
Is it possible to turn on message timestamps?
I’m on IOS.
