Alec PerkinsBuilding a thing. Currently Meshtastic-only but it will also support MeshCore (probably, hopefully, if we ever get a MeshCore mesh going around here).
The local mesh can be accurately described as a cooperative, distributed, autonomous project. Socialist and anarchist even. And this seems to break people’s brains sometimes.
But “just a bunch of randos doing their own thing” sounds less pretentious.
Related, it’s pretty impressive what a good antenna, filter, and a little height can accomplish. #Meshtastic #NYMesh
Getting close to ready for wider local testing with TestFlight for the Unnamed Coverage Tool. Very deliberately choosing empty grey hexagons instead of filled orange squares for the “no coverage” indicator, like other tools do. #Meshtastic #NYMesh
@meshoregon #NYMesh had people stranded for almost two months until their crucial link caught up yesterday, activating whole neighborhoods. Patience and continued testing is key!
…and a little more. #Meshtastic #NYMesh
I look away for not even an hour and the local network is buzzing. #Meshtastic #NYMesh
The new Meshtastic network is working so well people are troubleshooting MeshCore connectivity over it 😆 #Meshcore #Meshtastic #NYMesh
Meanwhile, the new NYMesh MediumSlow network is flying: full-on conversations and ack’d DMs. Strong validation of the theory behind it. https://nyme.sh/preset-testing/ #Meshtastic #NYMesh
