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.

@ai6yr PS Not sure if you have waded into the #meshtastic vs #meshcore debate yet but the latter looks a more friendly to my liking, in the sense of giving more visibility into message routing and acknowledgements. Like, you can tell if anyone actually received your message and you can specify routes to be used.

Memo

#Mastodon, #Diaspora, #Matrix, #Discord, #GitHub, #MeshCore und ein #Debian #Server voller andere Tools und #Webseiten, die ich nutze oder betreue.
Das alles hat natürlich seine Vorteile, wie die individuellen Einstellungen als Admin.

Nachteil: Alles zusammen ist wirklich sehr zeitaufwändig.
Für mich im Moment zu zeitintensiv, sodass ich den Zeitaufwand ein wenig reduziere.

Ich ziehe unter anderem mit diesem Mastodon-Konto, aber auch mit meinem Diaspora-Konto auf andere, nicht mehr selber gehosteten Server, damit ich für das Posten und Lesen von Beiträgen wieder mehr Zeit und vor allem auch Freude habe 😀

Ich nutze ab heute mein ehemaliges Mastodon-Backup-Konto: mastodon.online/deck/@memo
und mein ehemaliges Diaspora-Backup-Konto: diaspora-fr.org/people/5bab36d als meine Standardkonten.

Im Anschluss an diesen Beitrag werde ich hier den Umzug einleiten, und hoffe wie immer, dass alles reibungslos verlaufen wird.

Wir sehen uns auf der anderen Seite 😆

Woot, just finished implementing my first GitHub / Forgejo Actions which allows me to programmatically push meshcore builds to my radios on the roof from the comfort of my browser.

It currently only supports deploying to esp32s3 based LoRa devices so far.

I'd highly recommend trying out meshcore instead of meshtastic in Seattle.

Also tons of antennas are not actually tuned correctly so definitely a good idea to get a well tested antenna like the Muzi works whip if you have antenna concerns and don't know how to test antenna performance yourself.

But also the hills are real, try using your radio in other parts of town, you may just live in a deadzone due to terrain.

Ok #meshtastic and #meshcore people. Here's the results of todays testing with meshcore. I was able to walk all around my neighborhood and talk with my wife at home. I got in the car and could talk with her almost all the way at victory park. There's a repeater on Mt Wilson that makes this possible, also a repeater over near Lake and Woodbury. So with those together, the region is pretty big where I can talk. The choice to make only certain nodes repeaters is probably very smart and Mt wilson

ok, well, flashed the Keltec v3 to #Meshcore, no problemo. But on my #grapheneos phone I can't get the meshcore app without using Aurora Store to grab it from Google Play. So did that, and then paired the device with my phone, but the app doesn't detect the device so I'm stuck with just no way to talk to it.

Meshcore made some of the repeater firmware features also paid. They sell unlock codes for this feature on their store, see below.

I developed and PRd a similar feature but was unaware they were working on a similar paid feature. They seemed to ignore my PR so they could complete the paid version instead.

Which is totally their prerogative but imo not the greatest FOSS approach.

It seems #meshcore is a direct message first protocol, with group messages flooding like #meshtastic but the client nodes never flooding. There are two other roles with separate firmware. Repeater, and Chatroom. A chatroom, which can also repeat, stores messages for people who are offline. So there are synchronous and asynchronous messages.

Thinking that I'll flash my two nodes as mesh core tomorrow and see who's around.

really interesting to read @nullagent thread on LORA/ #meshtastic vs his preferred #meshcore. I'm also kinda surprised meshtastic uses the MAC as the identity, and if meshcore uses an encryption key that is really a huge improvement (decouples identity from radio). anyway I'll check out what's up on meshcore down here in LA.

PartyOnnullagent (@nullagent@partyon.xyz)This is a subtoot and should probably be a blog post. But basically some techbros are re-inventing mesh radios (badly). Low cost, developer friendly mesh radios have kinda been going in circles for decades. I've personally been watching this space for 20yrs & it's not progressing. So in many ways I guess I shouldn't be surprised to review yet another cheap mesh radio project and realize, "dude this just plain sucks and isn't improving at all, oh and the community is kinda awful". #meshtastic

Good news, there's an unreal amount of interest in meshcore lately.

My community came together and group purchased 20 nodes and have rapidly been onboaring tons of new LoRa curious hackers.

It looks like I might have single handedly increased the user base of the Seattle meshcore user base by 10 - 20%.
