Yea it’s just sitting on the dash running off an Anker battery, lmao.
I saw 26 nodes and actually got to chat with someone on 0 channel LongFast in the next city over.
What does Meshtastic do again ? Is it a distributed form of internet ?
No, think about it more like a walkie-talkie, but for text messaging and GPS locations.
Kinda sorta, basically it is hardware wireless nodes (using LoRa on 915mhz) that can re-broadcast packets as a mesh network. You can send data and messages at a slow rate thru the mesh hopping between each station using very low power hardware. Not gonna be loading any web pages or anything though.
Lol I’ve run several nodes like this. Have fun!
Unrelated, but what car is that? Looks interesting.
Its a 1991 Chevy pickup actually. K2500. Supposed to be boring but I enjoy it.
That’s a workhorse of a truck. Easy to repair to.
Its good that its easy to fix because I’ve done a lot of fixing. Still needs the fuel injectors tone through as it runs like dog. Lol
