M0SFW – Experiments in Radio Communications

So I had an interesting discussion on discord with some of the other local mesh contributors about why Meshtastic modules seem to perform poorly in locations which should be great such as the top of local hills. One theory is the abundance of other communication devices here could be interfering with the modules which are […]

I have two Meshtastic nodes mounted on top of a mast as infrastructure to contribute to the mesh. You can read about the solution here. Yesterday I updated the firmware on the nodes from 2.4 to 2.5…. The only problem is that during the upgrade the nodes factory reset and also disabled the serial interface […]

It’s only temporary…. unless it works! I’ve been interested in Meshtastic for a while now. Meshtastic uses low power LoRa devices which are license free to build a distributed RF mesh communications network. I have several of these devices however the area where I live is not well served with meshtastic nodes. So it’s time […]
