km5ge<p>Good morning <a href="https://mastodon.radio/tags/hamradio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hamradio</span></a> world on mastodon, it’s been a while.

What are you doing today?</p>
KuJoe 💞<p>Meshtastic solar node is online! The farthest nodes I'm seeing now are over an hour drive away from me with 46 nodes currently found! That's impressive for this little guy! The current location is just temporary, I plan on properly mounting it higher up in the future.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>meshtastic</span></a></p>

Chris Wenham<p>Does anyone know if there’s a <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Meshtastic</span></a> software module that can count the number of pulses it gets in a minute, apply a formula, and broadcast the result? It’s for a geiger counter.</p><p>I have a simple DFRobot geiger counter that pulses a pin every time it detects a particle, but I don't think the Telemetry or Sensor modules that come with Meshtastic can count these and convert the number into Sieverts.</p><p>I live near a train line, see. So y'all know if they're transporting hot stuff.</p>
concretedog<p>Lovely Sunday.. this triptych of images is what I've been up too... some work on a scrappy Dahon Expresso project I picked up, some tinkering adding a neo6 gps to the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/xiao" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xiao</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>meshtastic</span></a> setup interspersed with reading this fun book. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/biketooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biketooter</span></a></p>
kravietz 🦇<p>Wow <a class="hashtag" href="https://agora.echelon.pl/tag/meshtastic" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Meshtastic</a></p><p>Technically, it’s not surprising because Meshtastic can easily reach 10 km in line of sight, and airplane flying at this altitude has probably the best radio horizon around. But still it’s nice to see this in a chat full of messages from the local range.</p>
coffe☕<p>Nu har jag lagt hela kvällem till att läsa på om <a href="https://social.piewpiew.se/tags/LoRa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LoRa</span></a> och <a href="https://social.piewpiew.se/tags/meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>meshtastic</span></a> </p><p>Om någon har tips på var jag kan köpa ett bra starter-kit som inte är för dyrt och som gärna finns inom EU skulle jag bli otroligt glad!</p>

BedastGPT<p>With my stationary Meshtastic node deployed, with its antenna at the top of a small mast, the number of nodes seen has grown a lot. My senscap tracker is currently aware of 51 nodes, most of which are through the station node.</p><p>As far as how well it's running on solar and battery, the small 2P battery setup and small 5W solar panel are having no problem running things. The 5W is overkill, but easiest to deploy.</p><p>I'm also starting to see conversation on the public channel.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Meshtastic</span></a></p>
