License Free Off-Grid Comms (LoRa Meshtastic)

RANGE Test is here!!! https://youtu.be/OwTy_-Y-A5o

Can't wait to get my first message on this thing about my car's extended warranty.

It should be used as such: Encourage as many people as possible to install in their attic for low cost. A small solar panel and lithium battery will allow the network to remain in place in power outages. Joining the mesh will allow access to the mesh. The mesh will carry encrypted data from users on the network. Encryption keys will be used like phone numbers. Individuals may communicate outside normal networks, with strong encryption preventing the ability of government snooping or censorship. Yes government tyrants, I'm talking about YOU.

Excellent tutorial and sharing of essential knowledge in the age of hyper-surveillance. Also good for the revival of interest in ham, cb, and other types of radio aficionado niches. If digital tech fails, analogue and radio will save us

I wonder when all of the off grid people gonna unite and create a grid...

I remember following a project that used the lora to setup repeaters like this in puerto rico? They launched them in floating rubber ducks.

This is killer - looking for dissident tech for the coming authoritarian era... more please 🙏💕🔥🙌

I just might start buying these like a few each month and setup my own private network around my house. I love up on a mountain in the woods so this would be cool to setup in my area and allow some of my friends and neighbors to connect. This is a fun little hobby

The things I'm learning on this channel are really exciting. I've never been a tech guy, but seeing what can be done with this stuff has changed what I do in my spare time. Thanks for all of these videos, and I look forward to watching more in the future. You now have a new supporter.

This combined with a raspberry pi, keyboard, screen, and a 3D printer could be amazing.

Great video Josh, let’s continue to experimenting on this powerful mix of LoRa and mesh networks! 👍 I’m waiting next videos 👏👏

I’ve been watching prepper/ham radio videos for a few months now and this is the most intriguing idea I’ve come across in them. Thank you for the information

The great performance of LoRa in all these 3 features (good sensitivity, low path loss, good obstacle penetration) makes LoRa a disruptive technology enabling really long range links. This is specially important in urban scenarios, with very difficult transmission conditions. To sum up, LoRa can get long ranges in Smart Cities deployments, so it reduces dramatically the size of the backbone network (repeaters, gateways or concentrators).

Just letting you know that these modules have GPS on them. Meaning that you don't even need your phone for others to see your location. The feature for your location to be pulled from your phone is there because other supported module don't have the GPS. Furthermore there is a new version of ttgo tbeam with better lora and GPS chips on them but is 7$ more expensive. Cheers

I've never heard of this before. It's definitely something I want to learn more about!

NOOOOOOOO. We mustn't let the overlords catch wind of this gem.

Josh! Thank for this great video! You opened up the flood gates for Ham Radio Operators with Meshtastic.

I watched a video earlier today of someone setting a world record for longest LoRa connection at roughly 150 miles. He was on setting 12 which I belive is long slow, and it was done with a small antenna. It's all about LoS.

This is pretty cool! I've been wanting to set up a basic mesh network for my property to monitor the charge of solar batteries that charge electric fences. There seems to be a lot of value to these kind of long range blue tooth systems.

Interesting! Two years ago I didn't really understand Mesh Networks. Today, I have a couple of mesh networks in my home, and it appears I will be experimenting with this as well. Thank you for making this video.
