Can't wait for the hobbyist lora satellite communication network. The satellites could give each active grid square a portion of the bandwidth, or some other throttling scheme, so anyone can send and receive messages without anyone plugging up the network. It could work well for off-grid text messages, in case of service outage or just for fun really.

Thanks, very informative! I've just ordered the board recommended in your description! Give it the requisite 4 weeks delivery from China and I should be up! Would be nice to put my M7 licence to use on these cubesats one day!

Quest2 is an inexpensive gateway, and I only suggested BigScreen app because We can host a chat room and play your RU-vid video and chat while watching anything we had questions or comments on.

Hi Matt ,Thank you for a informative video .Can the battery be charged via the lora board or do i require a charger ???

@TechMindsOfficial 2 года назад

Yep, the battery is charged via the USB. I’ve purchased a solar panel to see if that will charge it but yet to test it.

@@TechMindsOfficial hypothetically if the panel is able to give off at least an amp at 5 volts the TTGO shouldn't have a problem with it.

Hi I have a lora 32 board I uploaded the firmware I got my station in tiny gs dashboard but the problem was i was not able to recieve the packets from the satellite. The antenna that I used was handmade dipole antenna what could possibly go wrong? What antenna you are using for getting the satellite packets? Please 🙏 help

@sto2779 2 года назад

This is one of the most valuable opensource project that has potential to replace commercial. So basically you're just tracking a satellite, that's all it can do?

@BollerwagenPicard 2 года назад

If I remember correctly, you don't need a license to broadcast on 443mhz in Region 1. Region 1 includes Europe, for example.

Hello, I have bought the appropriate Lora Board for this project but now I realise that one has to solder the OLED screen onto the board oneself. To put it simply, I am decrepit and no longer able to hold a steady soldering iron. Can anyone suggest a U.K. website that might do the job for me?

@ikehsamuelifeanyi4925 2 года назад

I couldn’t get to set my esp8266 and esp32 running in my Arduino ide even after installing Python 2.7.3 and pyserial from adafruit. I have downloaded the drivers and installed the board in Arduino ide. The port is “com 28” and I think I used “nodemcu 1.0 module 12E” for esp8266 or there about! ( I am using CP2102 chip) The device manager shown that the hardware was properly installed and ready to use. If I try to open the serial monitor in Arduino it will never open, instead I will see “error com port 28 busy” If I upload code on the boards it pops out bunch of errors among which is “error opening serial port” or something like that. I am frustrated, I need help please!

@InternetGoldMiner 2 года назад

Its a neat toy that i would be tired of after few uses. I will stick to my beam and duplex radio.

@chrisw1462 Год назад

RG-213 isn't great, sure, but while LMR-400 would cut the loss in half, it's also more expensive. For only a few feet, it's not worth upgrading (especially if you already have the 213). I'd upgrade if the antenna is used for transmitting, or receiving if it's longer than 25 feet, if you can afford it. Over 50 feet, RG-213 will hurt performance a lot at 440 MHz. Consider LMR-400 a minimum, and Heliax worth a look the closer you get to 100 feet.

@TechMindsOfficial 3 месяца назад

Funnily enough I was looking at the TinyGS website today to see what Sats are still active. It looks like most of them are still around 400 mhz, so it would be the 433 version. However I would recommend to check the active sats on the website and make a choice :-) Thanks Matt

@x_CrossHair_x 3 месяца назад

@@TechMindsOfficial Many satellites look to be regularly active (I don't see any reason why) 433 MHz would not work I will need to try tracking a few using Orbitron or G-Predict (Software) to be sure if passing over Canada (My QTH) well enough to potentially work this side of the Pond. TNX 73s 📡

TinyGS Lora sats is going a long time now, so nothing new here, simple enough for the basic experimenter to play with, but not complicated enough to be a challenge. Not my bag, i would find it pretty monotonous, other more challenging projects to work on, everyone to their own ;-)

@MrSq5npo 6 месяцев назад

I have the same problem. New firmware, new version of Meshtastic app and no connection to MQTT. It seems to me that the lack of connection to the server is due to the lack of a network module in the T-Echo. Via bluetooth you connect the APP with the T-Echo, and there is still no connection because it is lora that is supposed to connect directly to the server without going through the app on your smartphone. That's how I understand it, please correct me if I'm wrong.
