TechwerkersGreat to catch so many of you at the LoRa mesh networking intro session this evening! and super questions & discussion about communicating via #meshnetworks and #meshcore
there were some hiccups with the live-stream 🙈, but a partial recording is here: https://techwerkers.nl/en/events/2026-01-15/ (eventually we'll upload a full version, but that needs some re-recording and editing)
What if the Internet goes down? Intro to mesh network communication
Would you like more autonomy at work? Better pay? More time off? Work remotely? Less burnout? Make it happen! Join forces with fellow tech workers in and beyond The Netherlands to get the workplace changes you want.
If you're getting started with Meshcore, do share how it goes! On the mesh, you can find techwerkers in the #InternetDown channel
untitled goose@techwerkers bedankt voor de heldere uitleg gisteren. We gaan ermee aan de slag. waar kan ik de shopping lijst vinden?
@trapped hey, super dat je er bij was! Hier is een lijst met de apparatuur die in de sessie genoemd werd:
- LoRa bord: Heltec Mesh Node T114 Rev. 2.0 - nRF52840 - SX1262 LoRa 868MHz - with 1.14 inch TFT Display. Antenne zit hier als het goed is al bij
- Behuizing: Heltec Enclosure for Mesh Node T114
- Batterij: PKCELL Li-Po Batterij 3.7V 350mAh. Though you can find batteries that last longer.
Je kunt die halen bij verschillende zaken. Die van de presentatie haalden we bij tinytronics.nl
@techwerkers Geweldig! Inmiddels heb ik jullie blog ook gevonden. Komt er aanvullende informatie/blog over hoe repeaters te installeren? Daar hebben we nog wel wat vragen over!
Irdi@techwerkers Can you share the shopping list please? Could not find it on the website.
@irdi yeah for sure (still need to add it to the website). So this is what we used in the pilot:
- LoRa board: Heltec Mesh Node T114 Rev. 2.0 - nRF52840 - SX1262 LoRa 868MHz - with 1.14 inch TFT Display. The board comes with an antenna.

Best of luck with getting started and just ping if you have any questions :D
Garlic Cheese@techwerkers Thanks for that great introduction! Seeing how many people attended, it would be great to have a handful of recommendations for purchases (both clients and router), to make it easier for newcomers to join the mesh.
I love that people directly considered setting up (solar) routers on tall buildings!

Freddy_NovaIk had gister om 19:00 aan willen sluiten maar dat liep anders. Helaas.
