I have not posted so much about #meshtastic lately, mostly because our area have basically moved over to #meshcore instead. The reason is that the few people who where active wanted to try out meshcore - so I joined them.
Connection between Borås and Kinna/Skene is much more stable n…
I finally tried Meshcore on some spare heltec v3 boards I had.
Not many meshcore nodes here, but it hurts my feelings how much more reliable it instantly seemed for actually sending and receiving messages compared to meshtastic.

Donation campaign to help fundraise legal costs to protect the #meshcore trademark
A while back, I was mostly-lurking on a regional #Meshcore (like #Meshtastic , but different) discord, when someone on there tried to update a repeater and accidentally soft-bricked it. They needed to climb up to where it is to get a physical connection. But there's a raven nesting near where they've …
„In the pilot NodeNet: Meshnetworks for Emergency Communication, Waag, in collaboration with the Municipality of Amsterdam, investigates the technical feasibility of mesh network technology using a set-up of 30 devices hosted by citizens from Amsterdam.“ #meshtastic #meshcore
Czy jest tu ktoś kto bawi się w #MeshCore? Zdziwiłbym się jakby nie było, bo Mastodon to właśnie miejsce dla takich świrów (jak ja) 😅
Już jakiś czas temu słyszałem o tym rozwiązaniu, ale w zasadzie dopiero po podcaście @… chyba się za to wezmę 😉

#MeshCore / #RaspberryPI #Weather bot is coming along quite nicely!
I did a test in Romania, #meshtastic vs #meshcore and here is the quick summary:
Over 250 Meshtastic nodes found, compared to 70 Meshcore nodes.
BUT
Meshtastic was basically dead, no one talked, or answered anything. I only got one message with the following - "test&…
Atmosphere condition was excellent this night, we connected to Denmark, Gothenburg, Skåne and Norway via the new node that we deployed last week.

Fun!
I guess I'll try meshcore again in a year or two. It's not mature enough, doesn't have an actual purpose, and it's just not fun to use.

#MeshCore in theory has sensor support, but I didn't have any luck getting my BME280 recognized, so I used a Raspberry Pi instead! It can still respond on the mesh network too.
Next up: installing HomeAssistant to see if it can send environmental data to be logged / stored in a pretty UI.
I'm at @… for Mesh Night tonight. We'll be here for at least a few hours. Stop by if you're in Montreal and curious about #meshtastic , #meshcore , or
ok, I've got some questions for users of #MeshCore
How do you handle custom sensors and modules? In Meshtastic they generally "just work" after setting the pin configuration, but I'm having zero luck. Currently fighting with trying to get a NEO-6M GPS module working with a Heltec V3 radio.
On Meshtastic it worked as soon as I set the pin configuration, but in MeshCore, it's…
#RaspberryPi and #MeshCore project coming together. Just need to finish the software and get some smaller cables.
DIY Mesh-enabled Weather Station
The DIY project of the week for me has been a fusion of mesh technologies and weather sensors, brought together with a Wifi backbone powered by a Raspberry pi.
Read how to build your own MeshCore-enabled basic weather station that can also push data to your local Home Assistant.
