I walk you through the entire process in this video. This radio will enable you to send text messages, GPS coordinates, and more to other Meshtastic devices without needing cell coverage or internet access. It's completely off-grid and uses inexpensive LoRa radios and the open-source Meshtastic software.

Great video. I have got over 10 days with my Wisblock on a 3500mAh 18650 battery.

@davidm1635 Месяц назад

Client mode also works as a router, router should be used for nodes with the best antenna and height above terrain.

@adavies6696 Месяц назад

We need to emphasise router/repeater/router_client should be extremely limited in the network to edge nodes in advantageous positions. Too many are choosing router_client, and its limiting the distance and the communication in the mesh

I wish we could get the kits out here in Australia, theyre always had to get and even at $80 for the kit Id love to get one if the freq was available

@AskIveSolar Месяц назад

Really enjoyed video and this simple approach. Love the idea of meshtastic but I'm waiting for the hardware to continue to mature but I love the way it's going

@naomi-g Месяц назад

Default pin for screenless devices is 123456. Recently some wisblocks have been shipped with it set to random pin. RAK is working on fixing this - they're copying a preconfigured firmware instead of unconfigured.

@mattreviewsit Месяц назад

Yeah I guess I got some of the ones with random pin set as default. Definitely would be more convenient if it was just set to fixed. Thanks for the heads up

@kaoticrecoil2 Месяц назад

Same. Luckily I ordered an oled. You can put the oled in the pin holes and shove your finger in between to hold tension and it'll display the pairing code...lol. I only had one oled and multiple boards, this worked with each.

@naomi-g Месяц назад

Remember folks, you can always connect it via USB to your pc and reflash. I always do with new boards, as the firmware is always out of date

@paulfromswiniakowo Месяц назад

Great. Today I started with the same device. Very easy config. The board has battery and solar connectors and it is my next step :)

@mattreviewsit Месяц назад

Yeah, I'm going to do another video that goes into a more in-depth build. I want to build a solar repeater too.

@KH07734 Месяц назад

All 4 of my mesh boards are transceiving at 908 MHz.

@hemigod427 Месяц назад

Great video. Love the Wisblock. Crazy how long they last on battery.

@KillRoy0351 28 дней назад

Love how you edited out the 30 min it took to connect the LoRa pigtail to the board 😂

@RyanDurbin10 Месяц назад

Works fine in Firefox

@mattreviewsit Месяц назад

Nice!

@philippkeil5358 29 дней назад

Great videos. As a complete beginner which device would you recommend to get? Thinking either the Lilygo T-Beam (I would need a case though which are hard to come by here in Germany), the Wisblock (same problem with the case) or the Heltec V3 which you can order with a case. Can’t really decide…

@dave882 Месяц назад

Good luck finding anyone out there close enough to talk to 😂 we need another 10k people setting up nodes. They need to fix the software to make messaging actually work too.

@mattreviewsit Месяц назад

I'm more interested in getting a network set up among my existing friends and family, instead of texting random people who happen to have radios. Although I lucked out and found someone right down the street from me who I picked up and made a new friend.

@heart4Pahoa Месяц назад

My focus too is to get trusted neighbors into this and establish communications in power down scenarios. We are in Hawaii (Big Island rural) and power outages happen several times each year. Big storms can bring in bigger down times. So this can be a potential solution for us here. Most of us have small solar generators and/or gas/diesel generators for critical home power. But internet phones typically die within the first hour of a long outage. And we have older family (Kupuna) we need to keep an eye on or help when these things happen.

@jameslee522 28 дней назад

With no screen attached the pin defaults to 123456.

@Stealthy_Martian Месяц назад

What mesh app are you using? Yours looks way different than mine and cleaner.

@mattreviewsit Месяц назад

It's Meshtastic for iPhone. Android looks a lot different, is that what you're using?

@Stealthy_Martian Месяц назад

@@mattreviewsit Ahh makes sense. Yeah I am using Android.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1uTyHQCPvs8.html, Hey, how do you get those environmental outputs on the supreme? Not in your supreme build video.

@corneuys Месяц назад

Found it - Module Config - Enable the Environment Telemetry

@mattreviewsit Месяц назад

Yeah I just discovered that when I was recording this video. I was like wait a minute, I thought the supreme has all this stuff built in, lol. But I wasn’t seeing it show up.
