Hmm.  Forgot about the hop limit, but would have anticipated the Florence relay would have been visible.  Perhaps the keep-alive ping from that location fell outside drone activity. ...

The drone is an S&F node, yes.  It was flown again for about ~30 mins 5:30pm-6pm CT today (10/28) It is able to bridge quite a large number of nodes. We got a few acks on the public grou...

Sorry about the delay here. Will need a couple of days to set this up again; set it up on a unit that has since been imaged.

Oddly, the 29 and Florence locations can't see each other even with the drone at 400ft AGL. Trying to figure out why that is. With regards to hops, I am not quite certain about your question, but ...

Soooo, do you have some settings to get gqrx (shown above) running with the SX1262 card you include with NOMAD? When I open the pre-installed gqrx App in NOMAD, it returns a config error. None of t...

I cannot see the Florence node either, and I'm on the second floor.  I would need another 240' to hit Spec5. Scadacore indicates no direct line of sight to specfive: 30.8329906, -97.8881598.&n...

I was not trying to discount the importance of a large asset.  One boat could launch a massive drone search for a particular area.  I've had to watch surveillance videos at which point th...

Is the glider an S&F node?   I missed that last flight.  Might be a nice addition to Meshtastic to send when a particular node becomes visible.   Is that the Spec5 Dr...

@Joe I believe each has its place.  Drones would surely be a great suplimental asset for, as you say, let's just find someone and I would add determine their status physically.  Save the ...

Two flights completed today between 5:30pm and 7pm. Up in the air for about an hour total. ~400ft AGL.

Drone will be up in Georgetown area 10/26 around 5:30pm CT

I test my Ranger all of the time for specific nodes, and get "Message delivered to Unknown Broadcast."  Or some such...  It would be nice to get an indication that the message was NOT del...

I find it amazing that S&R still requires either large aircraft or dedicated Naval assets, where a drone would be sufficient and "flights" with processing found in ZoneMinder would be a better ...

Thanks, TXP. I've been looking into the drone with a Meshtastic.  It follows intent, so requires a 107 Certificate to simply use a drone to get a radio up and then down.  There isn't a l...

I'm going to try and get a drone up this weekend in Georgetown - will let you know if am able.

Hello, The SX1262 card doesn't seem to be communicating with the RasPi. When I open the Meshtastic Web App and connect to Device "raspberrypi". The screens "pops up". But it still thinks it is som...

Ya know... I'm just saying... That the auto drone launch BBQ pit could carry an MT payload into a bit of a low earth geosynchronous orbit.  :D All kinds of issues there, but I plan on sending...

Hi,  I appreciate your help as I get started with, what I believe, is the future of off grid communications for Search Teams.  Clearly, there are already some really robust systems out t...

Daniel, it was a couple of things.  The biggest was the browser, you know the rest on that one.  Got the link in FLASH and saw the software had found the device.  Knew my drivers wer...

Hi Rusty, has the serial connection to you PC ever worked? If it has then I would assume there is something wrong with the board.If this is the first time you are connecting the Trekker Bravo to th...
