I hope this is a good title ^^

Hmm I thought it was disliked behavior. I’ll change it then!

yup.

But I have to post it with the original title, correct? Or would it be fine for me to give it a more descriptive one?

This is pretty funny

Wife bad

I don’t have one. It’s to tinker with my first esp32 board and lora.

It’s basically a hobby. If you live somewhere super rural or something it might be interesting to chat with your neighbor or whatever but I think meshtastic is still too much in the alpha stage to be usable really.

It might be useful on a festival or something, where cell networks are overloaded and you and your friends can contact each other via meshtastic. Idk if that would work though.

Yeah I might upgrade to a 18650 cell that I reclaimed if the phone battery is too small.

For now I use it mostly for exploring meshtastic and trying to send a single message to someone else in the network xD

But chatting through the internet kind of defeats the point imo.

Also I tried to connect to mqtt but it did nothing. Do you have instructions for dummies how to set it up? I used the meshtastic module config docs and it didn’t work ^^

Yeah I don’t have one around ^^

Actually though that’s not true, last night I found an old device of me that I could harvest a 18650 battery from.

That’s cool, will you post your setup in the meshtastic community?

Honestly just get a heltec v3 from aliexpress, it’s only like 12€.

The board works with the cellphone battery, even with just holding the wires to the contacts ^^

Yes exactly that’s what I am trying to do. I just found a 3.7v battery in an ancient cellphone of mine, maybe that’ll work as well.

Assuming that you’re living in the US I think the secret is that disposable vapes aren’t as abundant in Germany yet.

Oh that’s a good idea, I think supermarkets also collect batteries in general to recycle, maybe there I can find empty vapes.

Not in Berlin. I see them sometimes, but not often enough. I want one now ^^

Which antennas do you have? How far does it reach?

Ok so I got myself a heltec v3 xD

If you want to use multiple internet connections and combine their speed, that’s possible. Dunno how though and I guess to work best it would need a server somewhere else like a VPN to manage the packets coming from different ips

Because it’s not useful. Two routers still share the same frequencies and thus can’t send more data over the same air. A single router can already use multiple frequencies to increase throughput. You don’t need two to do that. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIMO
