@KrissyKat "I bought a Meshtastic compatible device, a Heltec V3 LoRa transceiver, to do some experimenting with the DIY messaging system. It can be used off-grid to communicate in situations where cell phones are not available, for example. I'm still learning how to use it. I have connected it to the MQTT server run by Chicagoland Mesh and have been checking out the group chat channel by replying to people sending test messages to let them know I saw them. I did see a message sent from an airplane passing through the Chicago area skies this morning which was pretty great."
This is awesome!
@tk thanks for giving me some direction to look in. it's much appreciated i've been looking at all these different offerings and going.. "uhhhh..decision paralysis".
I found this after a quick search on what you mentioned https://loganmarchione.com/2023/05/lora-and-meshtastic/ and I'll leave it here for myself & others.
Thanks again!
Koen Vervloesem shows you how to use ChirpStack’s LoRaWAN implementation to set up long-range wireless traffic for sensors even if you are far from a WiFi access point

Langsam aber sicher trudelt meine MeshCore-Hardware ein. Drei WisBlocks sind schon als Repeater programmiert. Jetzt warte ich noch auf Solarpanel und Antennen, dann werde ich die Teile mal provisorisch an ihre zukünftigen Orte hängen und den Empfang testen.
Nachdem ich diesen Thread gelesen habe, bin ich froh, mich nicht für Meshtastic entschieden zu haben:
Excellent tropospheric conditions in the last few days. The #MeshCore community in the UK and NL have been able to exchange a lot of messages. With distances close to 350-450km. Sadly there's no similar activity possible on @meshtastic at these distances.

Important thread for anyone interested in #LoRa #mesh #radio systems like #meshtastic and #meshcore

So when it's this easy to get a MITM going things like making posts in public chats as anyone you want feels kinda low key.
But I do hope that extended warranty works out, everyone seems pretty concerned about them.
The first new tool is lorapipe, a firmware that runs on most consumer LoRa radios.
We've tested it a ton on ESP32-S3 based Xiao Wio boards.
This turns your lora radio into extremely minimal serial device that sends and receives packets in a dirt simple CSV format.
The radio can be tuned on the fly to switch between meshcore, meshtastic and LoRaWAN sync words and frequencies.
I've been busy as hell this past week.
A lot of people have been asking hard questions about the security of LoRa systems when they hear about mesh radios.
I'm not one to trust the marketing so I and several friends put together two new LoRa tools to help us audit the security claims of LoRa mesh systems!
Nach der letzten FW Aktualisierung auf v7.7, kann der T‐LoRa Pager bei eingehenden Nachrichten wenigstens blinken - wenn auch noch keinen Sound abspielen.
Vielleicht kommt das ja aber noch
@elperronegro @adele Thanks for that article about #reticulumnetworkstack ! I have gotten some #LoRa modules but not done anything with them yet
