I concluded from this video that Meshtastic devices are like potato chips. Bet you can't eat just one. My solar panels arrived two days ago. My 8.5 dBi collinear antennas arrive tomorrow. I already had the 18650 batteries and 4 cell battery holders. I'm waiting for my WisBlocks to ship now that the Chinese New Year is over. I'm implementing a mesh network for emergency comms with my brother (2.5 miles west) and sister (2.5 miles east). I'm designing a 3D printed custom enclosure. Fun project, and probably needed soon! 😲
I'm from the Civil Defense era, when prepping was a citizen's duty and wasn't bad. Cell comms are robust, but that's no "plan b." SoCal is going to have a big earth quake, probably wiping out every utility. These devices are a promising plan "B." Thank you for the post.
You're in Florida and you are putting a node on a tower in MD. Okay, you kinda rock. I just put my first node on the air west of your (presumed) future node site and it is VERY lonely. Maybe your node will kickstart some more local interest. Looking forward to updates.
Follow-up after watching the whole video...you're putting a node on a mountain in MD? Awesome! Which one? Hopefully will be able to test with you from my home base near Summit Point WV or when I'm mobile.
Hi Mike, are you still in MD? Saw Something about you moved to Florida? Well hopefully you're still in the MD/VA/WV area & have a question for you if you do. Re: Meshtastic, has there been any talk of adding solar nodes to the repeater towers in the area? I'm near Bluemont & know that a ham repeater is up on the mountain & would make a great node location! Anyway, I'm just checking in & subscribing to your channel & ❤ the Meshtastic videos!!
Interesting video. But it would have been even more helpful if you put the names of the devices that you discussed in the comment section and/or even better a link where you can get those devices.
150 EU for the pico computer from Slovakia. I am not saying it’s not worth it. Interesting to see other options. I subbed to his ytube channel quite a while back. Can you program and or use add on chips to make those Wizblock modules accomplish the same thing as the other Lora devices? In other words, can it function as a stand alone text messenger with no Internet required?
I getting very scared. I watched one video 2 weeks ago on meshtastic and now 7/8 recommended videos are this. Especially after the recent news of nukes and civilian armies, and WWIII, I.. I don't know whats about to happen but I am so soo scared
It is the algorithm showing what you’re interested in. Same happened with me with motorcycles, then radios, etc etc. depends on what stuff you’re watching and engaging
@@0baakYT 1 video doesn't show interest let alone the entire feed. Its like if I watch motorcycle crash and then every subsequent "recommendation" is how to build a motorcycle
Got a few devices and trying to learn enough to create a system. Want to handle wife in/near car somewhere and cell down comm back to our homestead or me mobile. So, solar powered, good antenna at homestead and T_beam in car and Heltec with her phone on blue-tooth?? Not sure yet whether feasible in area with no other users (yet??).
