We’ve got somewhat of split in our #meahtastic network. A couple of the infrastructure node owners think they should run with local_only option of their routers and insist on knowing who runs what node. If the node doesnt identify itself by actual owner, it gets banned from the infrastructure nodes. I, on the other hand, am proponent of not doning such private like control to an open network. What do you think? Is there such discussions in your meshes? How do you solve this?

It was just the RTLSDR part of the board. The GPS and #lora parts worked fine I even played with a bit of #meahtastic while I waited for the new board.

Setup was easy and the clockworkpi forums were a valuable source of information (especially when debugging mu issue).

For my Mini Node I’m in need of some help sourcing what I guess is a #RAK produced Mini IO board but pretty sure it no longer exists 😔 been following this project from Printables

And it has a link to Etsy for the Mini IO board to expose a button but no joy so far figuring out what it actually is or where to purchase.

#Meahtastic #WisBlock #WisMesh

my first #offgrid #meahtastic node is online... it doesn't feel quite right yet and mistakes have definitely been made, but that's what you learn from? what you can see here: a #nibble from wonderful @skickar paired with a 5W #solarcell and a small buffer battery with charging electronics. The battery will be replaced by a 10Ah #LiPo and the solar cell will also grow. next version will be built with a #rp2040 or with a #nrf52840 or maybe ... many thanks to your inspiring talk at #38C3 Kody!
Annoyed I didn’t bring my #meahtastic node with me today though 🙄
