So I’ve been experimenting with LoRa and meshtastic.

(and to the nay-sayers that are popping up as expected I say: I am free to play around and try to find people that are also interested. You trying to shoot me down at every single step instead of offering help or productive criticisms: that just flows off of me like if I'm plated with teflon #WBSB

@lobingera When it comes to that stage, I will make it public and, of course, open source. If you have ideas on how to approach this, I am all ears But demanding time from me to satisfy your curiosity that according to my experience with you always ends ups with destructive criticism won't happen

@jwildeboer I would need to start by getting at least two devices and for a fun project, this isn't "cheap"
do you have suggestions for the lora modules?
(well intended, not a troll)

@luisfcorreia I got a set of two Heltec V3 boards for around 40€. Printed cases for them with my 3D printer. They run meshtastic and I can hook them up via WLAN to my MQTT broker and thus inject commands from/to NodeRED.

@luisfcorreia And I already had a LilyGO T-Deck I got quite a while ago. But that one I mainly bought because it is a cool looking device with an original Blackberry keyboard https://www.lilygo.cc/products/t-deck

@cymplecy No, establishing individual identity ownership as a fundamental human right is a project I have been working on since 10+ years. Working title: TCP/ID. Comes from the ideas of the United Transnational Republics, which goes back to 2001. http://blog.utnr.net/the-venice-draft

@luisfcorreia If you have more time, they are often quite cheap at aliexpress. Also check eBay. I got them via Amazon because I needed them fast

I really like meshtastic because it allows for innovation on top of their base solution. And it is GPLv3 licensed https://github.com/meshtastic

But first: upgrades The two Heltec nodes now have batteries, so I can take them outside!

@jwildeboer really curious about the range you can achieve. And compare free range vs. city ...

@jwildeboer you know the battery has a 🥴🥴 'CE' 'Chinese Export' logo and not European 'C E' logo?
As there is no price difference what to use, you can, be sure that it won't comply with 'E C' regulations.(top logo looks like the real EU logo.)

@vosje62 that’s an old urban myth, AFAIK. See „Misuse“ and „China Export“ at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CE_marking These Makerfocus batteries are a known good brand and used a lot in maker projects.

@maxheadroom The nodes I can directly „see“ from my Heltec node are 13 km away (with bad signal) and 7 km (fair signal). I don’t know which antennas these other nodes use, though. UPDATE: 19 km with "fair" signal.

@becha Sounds good Let’s see if I have enough time (and energy) to document a more detailed plan so we can all find out what already exists and what needs to be made

And why not? Printed two stands so the nodes can sit around in style Big thanks to Alley Cat for sharing her beautiful case and stand at https://www.printables.com/model/936437-heltec-lora-32-v3-ht-slimpro-cases-by-alley-cat
