Is the mesh in Milwaukee growing?
Is the mesh in Milwaukee growing?
I didnβt realize it at first for node 68b5 but like bb4c it appears on the mapβ¦ at a police station. I think itβs pretty high up as well to get the coverage it does. Is MPD using Meshtastic?
Exciting Meshtastic stuff in the neighborhood with a new node that might be between @mathias and me...
They haven't responded to messages yet, but hey... more nodes is good, right?
I made Meshtastic contact with @joe todayβ¦
Picked up two Meshtastic nodes on the bike ride with @mathias todayβ¦
(Though I may have seen those previously on trips through Milwaukee.)
@joe Thank you for your service!
Looks like my outdoor node may have been knocked out by the coldβ¦ if I canβt connect to it this morning Iβll pull it down and have a closer look.
The outdoor Meshtastic node is currently about 16 feet high, which is not taller than my house, so that's an issue... I can (occasionally) reach it from about a mile away but that really needs to improve.
A better antenna and more height are on the list of improvements. I'd like to someday see nodes besides my own!
I like that #Meshwaukee name. π
I found two more nodes in the Third Ward and had a brief chat while waiting for an appointment.
