I *love* this silly thing. Right now running gqrs, listening to a local FM station in stereo. Have Meshtastic open in Chromium browser, surfing the net in Firefox. Quick, snappy response. I think ...

Getting really close to a finished Unit. Smart Pi Touch Pro was on sale, and it seemed ideal for my purposes.  I need to find a second nut for the HDMI on the back so I can make it closer to f...

The Meshtastic Web Client does not load the message history from the radio, it only displays the messages that have been sent and received while the Client is connected to the radio. As soon as you...

Why do messages only show up on the Android app when my phone is synced to the nomad but when you go to the web UI on the nomad, no messages show up through the conversations. Is there a setting th...

Hey guys, thanks for the amazing responses back and that's what I figured living in the area that I do with the lack of nodes in the area. I figured it would be an issue. But it had me looking at m...

Hi Joe, The Ranger has a power switch and will charge the battery even if the switch is off. So you want be able to disconnect the battery and use the device via usb power only?   The board...

I place one of my Rangers next to my computer, but usually keep it plugged in.   Is there room in the case to add a battery disconnect?  I'd like to preserve the battery by not subj...

@Tyler Hello Tyler. and Welcome!  I recently purchased one as well. Expecting a "polished", out-of-the-box solution - I immediately had many similar questions... First of all, your initial ...

Getting into mesh networking as a hobby or for serious work can present a bit of a learning curve, but we're glad to have you join the community! Hang in there. Your questions: 1. The nomad shoul...

So I just picked up a nomad and I can't seem to get it to connect to any nodes in the area  Given that I checked a meahtastic map for nodes and only one came up  But other than that it ...

It's the one depicted in the image below. The white button on the pi motherboard.  

@TX Programmer there are three buttons under the kickstand, one for backlight and two for volume - does it matter which one?

It's not the prettiest, but it's possible. If you shutdown -h now the system halts, the Pi shuts down but the GPIO port continues to power the meshtastic radio. There is a button on the side (under...

My device works well.  I was wondering if the SpecFive relay is set to forward encrypted packets. thanks! --Joe.

You know, thats exactly what I suspected. But wondered if it was possible...  

Glad to hear it!

There are quite a few meshtastic users that will use their devices while on a commerical airline flight, blasting messages to Meshers below as they fly overhead. I'm going to assume this was the case.

First day I had my Ranger, I took it out driving. This popped up after several minutes of silence. It says I pinged something at 32,000 feet? I'm in Kansas, is this right? Or am I misreading this??...

It looks like the system doesn't have any power management included. is there a way to change that which I'm not aware of? is it possible to allow the Pi to go to sleep but have the radio still fun...

@Sigmund not yet but now that the kmod problem is fixed(!) that's next on my list.
