We live on the top of a hill in Warwickshire. We are putting Meshtastic on a 10m pole outside and line of sight coverage will be huge. Also putting them in the cars with antennas on the roof or inside top of windscreen.

@ogbt 4 месяца назад

@@bigmouthstrikesagain4056 Meshtastic has a "canned" message feature that could be setup for emergency messages, the Wisblocks are better for low power and solar setups.

@ClickClack_Bam 4 месяца назад

There are solar panel setups that power a battery in a Meshtastic device. You would be able to rig something up fairly easily. Even 18650 battery shields have charging ports & you can buy a small solar panel that plugs into that.

@pperrinuk 4 месяца назад

I am sure there would be a market for a solar/thermal/wind/earth battery pack that would keep one or two 18650's topped up to power all kinds of remote projects (keep everything USB compatible) I have tried to make many for lora, rasberry and other projects, it would be so much easier if the chinese just released one.

How long will a 250mAh battery run an ESP32-based Meshtastic node? About 4 hours?

@innercityprepper 4 месяца назад

something tells me this is the kind of thing you would ONLY turn on when trying to send, as opposed to using to receive as well. I'd give this thing 2 hours before the battery is shot. That said, maybe it's something one plugs in when using for any more than a few minutes.

@dcobblers 4 месяца назад

I get exactly 96 hours from 10000mAh, so the battery life of this would be roughly two hours.

@markhaus 3 месяца назад

Would be great if they made a version of this but made the case capable of holding a standard 18650 lithium battery by basically making the same case but longer, at least 65mm longer to be exact. Then you get a much longer life and can swap with a freshly charged battery with seconds of downtime

@JohnBaxendale 4 месяца назад

Battery is 1/3rd the size of the T-Echo battery (850mAh) with an ESP32 that's way more power hungry. I can't imagine the battery life is going to last more than about 30 minutes. I've never been on an off-grid adventure that short, wouldn't even get out of the car park 😂

Looks like the 'Wireless Boot' initially creates a WiiFi hotspot that you connect to from a device and then input your credentials, so it can join your local wifi network or Bluetooth device (like how you first set up some types of Wifi cameras) Also from what I took from the video, this thing lacks a USB port entirely

@paulsengupta971 4 месяца назад

A normal meshtastic at about £13 delivered from China? I think that's what I paid last weekend for a Heltec. Of course there's no battery or GPS with that.

@bigmouthstrikesagain4056 3 месяца назад

I know that nrf radionmodules were £5 at one time.. I'm not sure if they are now.. but I've wondered whether a nrf mesh could be built for cheaper..... I'm looking into trying to build the cheapest meshtsatic alternative for my community.. because I've heard that meshtastics been cancelled and also my area is poor working class and economically deprived... so this nrf nesh would probably involve a lot of diy-ing , a lot of recycled materials, mutual aid and direct action to build this up

@bigmouthstrikesagain4056 3 месяца назад

People who build mesh networks have called me crazy for trying this btw... I also want ro create a commons capital pool setup... example: if 10 people wanted to build a 2 nrf meshes at about £12 each they could split the cost equally (it must be equally or its not a commons capital pool) and then they could build base repeaters from those for everyone in the community to use. Also the workshop barter model is also interesting
