A link to the light would have been appreciated! Still it is a good video.

Only issue will be when acma get excited about the repeater nodes

Very cool! Great job man. I plan on doing something similar next time I visit my parents in Florida. It’s not uncommon for them to lose cell service for weeks when a major hurricane comes through. My plan is to use raspberry pi zero 2W’s over POE but also with a battery and solar panel. The POE is mainly so I can keep them updated remotely but also to keep the battery topped up. Thanks for some good info and inspiration 👍

I came here for RAK Wireless Meshtastic and stayed for the bird. Nice video.

Genius. I'm copying this

Great video, I'm going to set one up in Mullumbimby for the same reason.

Great vid. the red areas on the map, areas with coverage?. I'm blundering around trying to figure LoRA out , is there any reason you went the raspberry pie route over heltec straight out of the box? I bought a couple of Heltecs, I think I've bricked one during the learning curve, but can still see huge potential in them.

what hardware for 444 mhz ?

I would Shove a Pi5 (8GB) with LoRa LoraWAN Shield or 2 Hack RF One SDR's ( or a few for Directional sectoring 433MHz & 838Mhz 915MHz) Nice Thing With the Raspberry pi (PI3 ~ Pi5) They All Support POE 24V ~ 48V DC over Ethernet cable 30W 80W you just need 2 Path Jumpers for the POE 4 pins However I would also Use Mesh WiFi v6 for Closer Nodes even run a Mesh Telnet BBS (bulletin board system) Terminal Mesh Service on both Wifi Mesh & LoRa WAN Mesh (After all it is a PI5 With SSD M.2 nvme ) so can run a OFF Grid micro Internet (LoRa & WiFi)

Damn you beat me to it! I was in bunnings the other day and saw those arlec units with the same idea in mind. Ive just built 2 repeaters the same way. The only difference was a 3d printed custom housing that attaches via the existing hinge mounts with waterproof cable tunnels similar to the arlec design. I'll upload the design and link here when I get a chance. I was concerned about the panel size and battery capacity so I'm glad the hear they stand up OK! Nice work.

What is the benefit of a node over a repeater? In a small isolated group of three devices communicating, which would go on the mast?

Would this function as a kind of LoJack for the truck? In other words, would you be able to track the vehicle in the event of theft?

Very professional!

Hey now, now, now, now baby I'm beginning to see the light One more time There are problems in these times But ooh, none of them are mine Oh baby, I'm beginning to see the light

Way to go Matt! Looks Like it's my duty to build, install & be responsible for continuous maintenance of two or three Meshtastic LoRaWAN repeaters for the Alstonville plateau area, Lennox, Ballina, Buckombil mountain, Evans Head wrapping around through Woodburn, Coraki Dead straight back to Lismore!! >8-D

Right on my brother! Starting to look into Meshtastic recently . Been wanting to setup LoRaWAN for years (Northern Rivers). Finally preparing to rig up a few... Good work mate. >8-D

Mount the camera. Bouncy camera movement very quickly became extremely annoying. Also, not fond of your choice of background music, we turned it off.

Im hoping meshtastic and LoRaWAN start getting a greater following over here in Australia as much as it has over in the UK. Be nice of there were more 'local' suppliers that didnt want to charge an arm and a leg for the stuff the UK and USA get dirt cheap

Great video could you show the settings for meshtastic app for this setup I am doing the same board ........

Nice music but what is the video about????????

The 5 W claim on the box is for the led, not the solar panel.

What mapping program do you use to work out your coverage?

What antenna did you use?

Another banger

Bonus night footage there, truly spectacular that entire region out to Suffolk and down to Iluka with weather. Thanks for all your content especially the Lora nodes/base stations that are self powered, would love to drop a few and record some useful data and even non useful. 👍🏼

I could watch this all day.

I really like the birds...they look happy. I wish my wife would let me have one. Thanks for the video.

nice job!

awesome. 🌚

You say you were impressed by the range… how much range did you get with the vehicle node?

Check it for parroty errors

Love your work! I have one in my car. The RAK uses so little power, I charge about once a week from the cars USB C socket. Great bluetooth range. Great bird too.

I'm a 56 yr old Aussie living in USA 21 yrs,... Just heard about Meshtastic the other day then stumbled on this video, well done ! I'm new into radio here & using GMRS but we have some frequencies which are free & unlicensed to use, also think it's cool that CB is still alive but this whole Meshtastic LoRa concept is pretty cool :) I'm wondering how much it cost you in AUD to set up both systems in the video.

Encouraging to see, while I'm trying to figure out why I can't make a 2.8 km link work in the middle of my city!

that's a nice view

Just ordered the wis block kit

I built similar here in the UK and it's been rock solid and hasn't;t dropped below 85%, the RAK boards are seriously impressive on low power.

hey mate thanks for the video I am just about to hit buy on the wisblock starter kit

Very cool.

Can you send me that link to your solar panel and mount you used? Also…. What website is that that shows you your coverage?

👍for the bird and meshtastic info.

Oh I guess I should say, thank you!. Words cannot describe how deranged people making such content are, yes?. Or do you have a word for how deranged some people are?. So you are aware that children may view your song/content, yes?.

you don't worry about the sun making the cabin really hot and damaging the board or battery?

G'day did you check the maximum no or low load voltage of the solar panel? That Wisblock board has a 5.5v max input on the "solar" connector doesn't it? Nice conversion, I was looking at those lights last weekend for the exact same reason :-)

Nice work

How about a parts list of what where to buy
