I revived my 2018 TTN Kickstarter Gateway in 2026!

With some help from Claude (LLM), I got the build chain running again and fixed two long-standing issues: WiFi AP always on even with Ethernet connected, and expired embedded certificates.

Old hardware, new tricks, and it still works!

We breathe over 10,000 liters of air every day – with no idea what's in it.
Our DL-PM sensor has been measuring particulate matter continuously for five years. The data shows winter inversions, New Year's Eve spikes, and that air quality has no quiet season.
The patterns only emerge when you measure continuously.

La différence entre LoRaWan, Meshtastic et Meshcore est simple :

#LoRaWan permet un réseau privé de capteurs (ex: agriculture), tandis que les 2 autres sont plus accès sur la communication et la géolocalisation.

#Meshtastic est plus orienté "off grid" : on équipe un groupe de personne et on les lâches dans la nature, un festival ou une manif où le réseaux LTE est inexistant, saturé (ou écouté).

#Meshcore a pour vocation de créer une grille de communication avec des clients et des relais.

Un peu de travail sur le portail #GerMaCrise, bonjours les rack 10 pouces ( au passage, vous avez des Raspberry pi3 ou 4 qui ne vous servent plus a rien ? suis preneur pour des projets de passerelle Meshtastic MeshCore ).

Voici la v4 en préparation, mais en version portail intégrant les outils d’administrations, de suivi….
