I hope this is a good title ^^

Hmm I thought it was disliked behavior. I’ll change it then!

yup.

But I have to post it with the original title, correct? Or would it be fine for me to give it a more descriptive one?

This is pretty funny

The coordinates of other and own node

I thought the app might be able to calculate it

Ah okay so it’s calculated on the node, not in the app. Bummer

Hmm not sure I like that. Apparently the default channel has too much traffic to be handled well by the esp32 devices.

I am not sure if the mesh size is limited. They’re doing “managed flood routing” which is like normal flood routing, but routers wait for a while to see if someone else is flooding the message already, then they don’t send it out themselves if they see it flooded. I don’t know how that behaves in different network topologies

Das war vor Jahrzehnten schon ein Auslaufmodell

No I am a noob at this as well. The heltec v3 seems to be the most popular device though.

I don’t have one. It’s to tinker with my first esp32 board and lora.

It’s basically a hobby. If you live somewhere super rural or something it might be interesting to chat with your neighbor or whatever but I think meshtastic is still too much in the alpha stage to be usable really.

It might be useful on a festival or something, where cell networks are overloaded and you and your friends can contact each other via meshtastic. Idk if that would work though.

Yeah I might upgrade to a 18650 cell that I reclaimed if the phone battery is too small.

For now I use it mostly for exploring meshtastic and trying to send a single message to someone else in the network xD

Thanks. Where did you get the channel from? “Show full details”?

I am in Germany. I would like to find a root topic for Berlin :)

Thanks I’ll search around.

But chatting through the internet kind of defeats the point imo.

Also I tried to connect to mqtt but it did nothing. Do you have instructions for dummies how to set it up? I used the meshtastic module config docs and it didn’t work ^^

Yeah my plan was without charging. But I found another solution anyways :)

Yeah I don’t have one around ^^

Actually though that’s not true, last night I found an old device of me that I could harvest a 18650 battery from.

That’s cool, will you post your setup in the meshtastic community?
