Great upgrade! I just got a few of the seeed studio Xiao esp32s3 + wio-sx1262 kits to play with, along with some other stuff from seeed. I'm going to build a couple of these, one for indoors and one to go outside on the screened in porch. Thanks for the great videos! 👍
Thanks, John! That sounds like an awesome setup-those Xiao ESP32 S3 + Wio-SX1262 kits are a solid choice. I love the idea of having one node indoors and one on the porch for improved coverage and versatility. Have fun building them, and let me know how they turn out or if you run into any questions. Really glad you’re enjoying the videos-thanks for watching!
Air temperature should always be measured in a shaded location so if this unit is going to be used in outdoor situations it would be better if you could incorporate a small sun shield in the body. Is there an stl file available for the case ?
Yes for sure, thanks for pointing that out. This one is indoor only. It's interesting they called it "Indoor Air Quality" applying these cannot be used outside, but I think they can. The standard, as far as I can remember is, "In an open area, 1 meter above ground, in the shade"... As for the case, here is a link to the original case I butchered, I don't think you want my STL files :) www.printables.com/model/819973-meshtastic-ttgo-t-beam-case-scifi
New to mestastic, but not amateur radios. Does the meshtastic paradigm have the equivalent of say GMRS where people put out repeaters that you can reach greater distance that others can use or is the Meshtastic paradigm more about private use between your own group of 2 or more devices?
Thanks for your comment. Yes, the aim of Meshtastic is the former. Building a community driven mesh network where every node expands the network so it reaches further. Inside of that expansion, you can also do private (and secure) communication between two parties, but when you add a node it automatically forwards everyones packets to expand the network. There are roles like repeaters and clients, very interesting.
Here is a good picture .. meshtastic.org/docs/introduction/ Or I tried creating a video explaining some of this here .. ruclips.net/video/rjmfeuJEBRw/видео.html
cool project!
