We used it at Burning Man in 2023. Burning Man is hard on gear and a surprisingly busy RF environment. It was reliable and has a good user experience. I really liked it.
- exadeci 3y agoI've also used it then, it worked fairly well but it seems that I might need to tweak it to update my position faster. I also made a fork of a modified firmware that gives you your playa location https://github.com/exadeci/Meshtastic-device-bm https://github.com/exadeci/Meshtastic-device-bm
- reissbaker 3y agoI used it at EDC this past year and it similarly worked quite well.
- danesparza 3y agoMy understanding is that LoRA isn't high bandwidth -- so just out of curiosity, what kinds of things did you use this for?
- eql5 3y agoThe official meshtastic app can only transmit text messages (max ~230 characters) plus location data (GPS). Optionally it can also transmit sensor data (see RAK WisBlock devices, where you can add sensors for temperature, humidity, air quality).
- toomuchtodo 3y agoCan the mesh control plane be orchestrated/monitored/bridged by out of band comms like cellular IP or StarLink?
- gh02t 3y agoYes to all of these, there is a managed mode where nodes are controlled via commands from a command channel. Bridging networks is done via MQTT so you can use virtually any transport.
