Today in “adventures with #SpectraMesh” - I’m going to test automatic location info with my GPS enabled T-114 from Heltec, as well as continue multi-hop testing. I think ADR might need some tuning / tweaking as I think it may be causing some dropped traffic in some scenarios when it shouldn’t be - I’ll have to test with it on and off to see if that’s the cause, then troubleshoot.
I also want to tweak the network join / sync logic to be slightly more resilient.
@Wrewdison One of the things that I’d like to see in this kind of system is a solid ability to control the precision at which you share location. To me, any system you’re going to advertize as being private or secure needs a fairly robust way to do this.
I’ve been looking at https://h3geo.org as an approach. It’s a hex grid that supports 15 resolutions from ~1,200km accuracy to ~0.5m in a 64 bit binary representation.
The library is in C, but I haven’t looked at how suitable it is to run on an embedded device.
I’m currently in the middle of an international move, and most of my hardware is on a ship somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic, but once I get settled I’d be interested in giving it a try
@number9 Yeah, there's a precise mode and "general area" mode which will place you in the general area but not give a precise location.
And as I've said before, location data is optional to begin with.
