r/meshcore

Its an unverified APK but it's a official. I can't get past the verifier screen to install it.

I've read that meshtastic sub doesn't like the mention of the Meshcore so I thought I'd pose the question here. I assume I can run both on two seperate repeaters - my question is, should distance between the repeaters be a consideration? Can they sit next to each other or should I place one on one side or my house and the other on the other side of the house? Thanks in advance!

Instead of everyone running their own analyzer for their own corner of the map, a few of us put together one central instance for the whole of Europe: meshcore-analyzer.eu

The idea is simple. One place that aggregates the entire EU mesh, so you can see nodes, channels, coverage and traffic across borders instead of only your own region. Regions can also run their own front-end on the same backend. cornmeister.nl and analyzer.meshcorenetz.de already do, and more are welcome.

You already know what an analyzer does, so we'll skip the tour. The point is having it Europe-wide in one place: live map and a 3D globe, node, channel and observer views, packet traces and type breakdowns, all filterable by region and time window.

If you want your area on the map, you can add an observer: a companion radio in the browser over USB or Bluetooth, or a standalone board running 24/7. You can also use KiekR (https://kiekr.app) on your phone. It can map coverage as you move around and can double as a mobile observer that feeds straight into the analyzer.

It's still very much beta. Numbers can be off, things move around, and some features only exist because one of us wanted to see them. Best place for feedback is our Discord: https://discord.meshcore-analyzer.eu . If you hit a bug or there's a stat or view you wish it had, drop it there. Bug reports and feature requests are exactly what we're after right now.

Let us know what you think.

I’m brand new to MeshCore. I have a ThinkNode M6 that I just flashed as a repeater. I’m 99% sure I did it correctly. I do not have a companion node yet. I can’t connect the repeater in the MeshCore app, as it not discoverable via Bluetooth. I completed the repeater set up on MeshCore.io and everything looks good for my region and it saved successfully. Do I need a companion node in order to communicate with my repeater? I should be able to connect directly to it, right? I’ve tried resetting and it still doesn’t show up in Bluetooth. Any ideas?

Hey all, I’m new to meshcore/meshtastic - I have a Helltec v3 on the way right now because I love to tinker and I love the idea of having a mesh network setup that others can use without subscriptions or selling data to some corporation. I love the idea of contributing to the overall health of the network so that it’s there for when others need it. I’m sold on the idea and understand that there are several great theoretical applications for it (emergency communication, private communication, wilderness communication, etc).

What I don’t know though, is how often do people actually use this tech to communicate? And what are you using it for? Are people using it like a general chat room? Are you using it to organize private events (protests, for instance)? Or are you just tinkering and building out the network and waiting till the need arises to use it yourself?

This is just out of personal curiosity and I guess I’m also trying to level set in my head about what I should expect when I get my node online in a few days.

New T096 flashed repeater, tx dbm default was set at 9. Why is that? I thought it was max 28. What should I set it to? thanks

Looking at maybe try out Meschcore but all install videos I've seen refers to using a microSD card when they come to the 'place data on SD card' step in the flashing.

Is using a microSD card required?

RAK offers 2 different GPS modules that work with the Wisblock. Do both work with Meshcore? I couldn't find anything in the docs that wasn't T-Deck related.

The reason I ask is because one is cheaper than the other. :)

Hey everyone! I just set up my first companion node and I am looking to extend my mesh. I live in a fairly remote area with lots of trees. I have a tall flagpole in my yard though, and I thought about trying to put up a solar repeater box up on top to clear the trees and maybe access another repeater. I have a few questions that I thought some of you folks might be able to help with:

1. I saw on the website that mounting it on metal can cause issues with the antenna. Does this mean my plan won't work, or do I just need a buffer of some kind between the flagpole and the device?
2. I see all kinds of antenna options and I know exceptionally little about radio technology. Does anyone have input on what I might want for this purpose? What kind of gain would be best, or how long of an antenna, etc?

Thanks for any and all help!

I have two devices: a heltec v3, and a T1000-E. My goal is to have the heltec v3 setup with MeshMonitor on my server and poll the location of my T1000-E every 30 minutes or so, with that location telemetry being sent encrypted. Right now, I've got the heltec v3 setup on my server with MeshMonitor and all that is working great, and I can send messages between my devices no problem. The issue is that whenever I try to poll and request telemetry from my T1000-E, I get no response. I've got the settings all turned on in the T1000-E to allow telemetry to be polled and sent to that contact, but nothing has solved this problem...

Thanks in advance for any help!

Folks, I'm a long time tinkerer and new to Meshcore. My wife and I have aspirations to head out with our truck camper for some big trips to remote locations. I always had this idea that I could mount a Repeater to the camper and use the Companions to keep up with each other's locations, or message, if one of us went for a hike or something, especially where cell signal is particularly bad.
Maybe I mixed up Meshcore and Meshtastic location tracking, but I'm not finding that function easily with Meshcore. Maybe it's simply using the map and filtering on specific users?

For reference, I have a Sensecap T1000e and a Wio Tracker L1 Pro.

Thoughts are appreciated.

PS - and not to dilute the thread, but I could not get the T1000e into DFU mode unless I was connected to just a USB charger, then moved it to my PC USB port to get the serial connection. The light will be solid green to show DFU. I don't know why...
