@Sigmund can you expand on the bit about "building a 64Gb SDRAM from scratch using the Meshtastic guide" and "adding a 1TB NVMe?" is there already support in there for an NVMe drive? and is that gi...

Successful pair of flights with the Georgetown drone today. Thanks to all who said hi!  We saw a lot of new nodes come online. The mesh is growing...

Appreciate your interest in the Nomad, and your diligence in documenting things.  SpecFive is not trying to be a DIY company. We think the biggest service we can provide is in making these de...

Yup! I saw the writeup on Hackster and jumped right in. I was an early adopter. so mine came with a 4GB Pi. But I have an 8GB Pi I can swap in... BTW folks, NOMAD is very modular and easy to crac...

I was in on the 10/27 drone party.  Out-of-town 1028.  Drones are a quick bridge.  I'm liking it.

I HAVE been able to get the Map in the Meshtastic App to update to a "different" position. Although it isn't very accurate at all. I modified the following Meshtastic settings in the Web UI: ----...

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...
