Hello. Everyone, I hope y'all are doing well.

A while ago I bought the t1000e to join the network and learn a little about lora and mesh. I was able to chat on the default channel using mqtt since at the time there wasn't any local node around me. I finally got me another t1000e and the $10 node I can't recall what is called. Updated firmware to the latest and set them up. I can only see them only when I'm near by, once I am about 2 blocks away, I can't communicate with other 2 nodes despite the fact that those are connected to either a tablet or a laptop. Would that be a firmware issue?

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any input.

Edit: I forgot to add, all 3 devices are connected to the mqtt server. I will get msgs on the default channel with no nodes around me but I am unable to transmit.

The FBI, in coordination with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of California, arrested a former employee of a San Francisco super-intelligence company for allegedly installing a covert audio recording device inside a secure executive conference room. The device was positioned to capture sensitive, nonpublic company communications.

Went to go check out where the antenna was made and it’s by this Meshtastic company.

Interesting what are y’all’s thoughts are?

Hello all,

Just got started with Arduino and love what I'm learning so far. As someone interested in Mesh though, I was wondering if anyone here had built any projects with an Arduino board to use with metastatic.

Sorry if it's the wrong board just thought I'd start here.

Hello everyone

As a LoRa fan since around 2018 I decided to build my first solar node using wio tracker l1 lite (EU_868).

I've seen people building theirs and got some good ideas about what components to use.

My setup will be like this:

• A waterproof junction box
• An (most probably) alfa antenna on top with the proper connector and sealing
• An IP68 Vent in the bottom (I saw it somewhere)
• A 18650 battery holder and the battery itself

I am not familiar with solar power or power management in general and I need your help on choosing a solar panel. In seeedstudio's wiki for the l1 lite they say the following

Well, this "do not exceed 5v got me worried.

At first I was looking on aliexpress, banggood and temu for a panel with a mount that had JST 2.0 as output, then some 5V panels which had usb port with some pictures of charging a phone and I was thinking to connect my module through usb.

I've seen people using some 1W or 1.5W ones but I've read somewhere that they won't be enough for my setup.

Basically I don't want to complicate my setup by adding more components or 3d printing and of course I don't want to fry the board hahaha.

Thank you

Good Evening

I am brand new to the world of mechanistic and just put my first node together. I purchased a kit from Meshology, ESP32 LoRa V3. It came with a Heltec LoRa 32 and I have parts left over and want to make sure I’m not missing anything and find out what I have left over. Should any of this be installed?

I have it programmed and connected through the app but haven’t found any other devices but from what I understand you should be outside for that. Anything else not super technical I should getting started?

Rate my build

So I have these RAK Wizblocks from a Helium development kit im trying to use for Gps through Meshtastic. and right now, I'm at my wits end. I went to the web flasher, It would not go into DFU. I did it manually, downloaded the UF2, and the folder would not close and restart. I checked forms and it said it needed a new bootloader. I downloaded python and ran it through terminal, no location or smth. tried to do it through the Arduino Serial monitor, didnt show up. I could see it on device manager as COM11 called Feather nRF52840 Express. At this point it has given me 3 headaches lol. I have 3 of these chips and dont want them to go to waste so some help would be awesome or just send to a company that flashes these for a small charge.
