πŸ“» Adventures in #MeshCore communications - part 6 πŸ“‘

My teacher @stereo recommended I get more powerful antennas - price: 9 Euros for 2.

They are slightly longer than my hand… and miraculously I went from receiving signals in Lombardy (my region) to reaching repeaters as far away as Sardinia and Rome!!!

How? It feels like magic 🀯

#MeshCore update no.4: I'm now receiving messages from my Fedi friend @stereo who is 380km away across the Alps πŸ—»

I'd like to think my #LEGO stand proved to be a great good luck charm.

Ralf recommended I upgrade my antennas, so hopefully I'll be able to send out messages too... stay tuned!

a photo of two LEGO custom builds housing Heltec v3 LORA units. On the left: a rainbow-colored structure with a hole in the middle to accommodate the Heltec and its battery and on top there's a LEGO female minifig with long wavy brown hair holding the antenna. She's sitting at a LEGO desk with a purple laptop and a cup of coffee in front and there are two plants and candles as decorations. Behind there's a gold flag. On the right: a second LEGO structure in various shades of blue housing a second Heltec unit, plugged into power via USB-C. At the top there's a second female LEGO minifig holding the antenna and behind her there's another gold flag. In the background of the photo you can see a black printer

Update no.3: my #MeshCore Bluetooth companion is picking up my Meshcore Repeater - YAY πŸ₯³

We had to leave Paris in a hurry last month because of the brutal heatwave so I forgot the cases there. But here in Italy I have an endless supply of LEGO, so I built a custom housing for my Heltec v3 repeater, its battery and antenna. I really like it πŸ₯°

a rainbow-colored LEGO structure with a hole in the middle that houses my Heltec v3 unit and its battery - the antenna cord goes up and it's a minifig on top of the structure - that looks like me - who holds the Heltec antenna in its hand. The minifig is sitting on an orange transparent stool and has a desk with a cup and a purple laptop in front

Update: my Heltec experiments are still a major failure despite the endless patience and expert guidance of @stereo (my mesh guru)... BUT! My family is maybe starting to take me seriously?!?

Major pivot from yesterday... looking at me like: "what are you doing weirdo?"

to today:

Them: "Is anybody else around here using it?"

Me: "Yes, let me show you on the map!"

Them: "Wow, impressive!"

Step by step πŸ˜…

Day 2 of #MeshCore experiments, let's go! πŸš€

First I'll try to see if I can send any messages with just my companion unit and if that fails, I will set up my second unit as a repeater on my parents' balcony...

Thanks to everyone who sent in pics of their cute pets yesterday to cheer me up (after hours of failing to send any messages). Much appreciated! πŸ’–

It's time for a new PFP.

PocketPC, a portable Linux-based computer. Six years in development and refinement. Everything we ever dreamed of and more. Major project update in the works! We can not wait to share what we have been building in silence.
