Nice music but what is the video about????????

The 5 W claim on the box is for the led, not the solar panel.

What mapping program do you use to work out your coverage?

What antenna did you use?

Another banger

Bonus night footage there, truly spectacular that entire region out to Suffolk and down to Iluka with weather. Thanks for all your content especially the Lora nodes/base stations that are self powered, would love to drop a few and record some useful data and even non useful. 👍🏼

I could watch this all day.

I really like the birds...they look happy. I wish my wife would let me have one. Thanks for the video.

nice job!

awesome. 🌚

You say you were impressed by the range… how much range did you get with the vehicle node?

Check it for parroty errors

Love your work! I have one in my car. The RAK uses so little power, I charge about once a week from the cars USB C socket. Great bluetooth range. Great bird too.

I'm a 56 yr old Aussie living in USA 21 yrs,... Just heard about Meshtastic the other day then stumbled on this video, well done ! I'm new into radio here & using GMRS but we have some frequencies which are free & unlicensed to use, also think it's cool that CB is still alive but this whole Meshtastic LoRa concept is pretty cool :) I'm wondering how much it cost you in AUD to set up both systems in the video.

Encouraging to see, while I'm trying to figure out why I can't make a 2.8 km link work in the middle of my city!

that's a nice view

Just ordered the wis block kit

I built similar here in the UK and it's been rock solid and hasn't;t dropped below 85%, the RAK boards are seriously impressive on low power.

hey mate thanks for the video I am just about to hit buy on the wisblock starter kit

Very cool.

Can you send me that link to your solar panel and mount you used? Also…. What website is that that shows you your coverage?

👍for the bird and meshtastic info.

Oh I guess I should say, thank you!. Words cannot describe how deranged people making such content are, yes?. Or do you have a word for how deranged some people are?. So you are aware that children may view your song/content, yes?.

you don't worry about the sun making the cabin really hot and damaging the board or battery?

G'day did you check the maximum no or low load voltage of the solar panel? That Wisblock board has a 5.5v max input on the "solar" connector doesn't it? Nice conversion, I was looking at those lights last weekend for the exact same reason :-)

Nice work

How about a parts list of what where to buy

10 solar cells in series? that is perfect voltage for the Wisblock's inbuilt solar controller! Very nice spotted. Lidl or where did you get it?

Nice! I’m from the central west and am planning on setting up a network around the orana area 👍🏼 any tips would be appreciated 😁

Hope it doesn't get muggled 😂

Did you drill top and bottom condensation vents as it's wet as hell around here and I know from experience that moisture will build up inside that little enclosure.

When I saw lismore I was like WTF. Maybe this will spur me on to get a meshtastic radio

Nice work again! Where is that antenna from Matt?

Wow thanks for this..... Simple lovely 👊🌞🔋

Very nice.👍👨‍🎓.. I'm Going to use your Idea for the "Solar Charging Setup".. Not for Meshtastic.. (No one is in my area) I don't feel like being the only one.. (Will be for a TInyGS)

Sir.. not to alarm you... but there is a bird trying to Strategically Transfer Equipment To Alternative Locations (cit.) your node....

very nice :)

Doing the same with my truck, but using a bigger solar panel and case . Also I'm using a mounted antenna on the rail of the bed of the Truck.

i have the 868mhz version of that antenna,, works well. :)

I am busy with the same but then put the node on top of the car, using 2 Magnits 🧲

Hi, where did you purchase the Wareshare Lora Board From?

Thanx for sharing

Good video. I also like how your mains powered rooftop node has a red LED acting as an aircraft warning light 🙂

Definitely recommend "linerless rubber tape" or "mastic". We use it in the cellular industry to add extra protection over the N-Type Male connector. 🤜🤛 Great video!

Great to see. I'm planning something similar, but I was going to run 12-24v up to the node from a DC plug pack indoors, and use a small DC-DC step down module in the box up on the antenna mount. You can buy a potted module with a USB-C connector 😍, which is what I use for remote raspberry Pi. I once tried running 5V to a raspberry Pi 3B along about 5m of 0.75mm² copper but it wouldn't work, due to the voltage drop and power required. I guess these use 150-300mA or so, maybe that's fine. 😁 Thanks for making the video!

I was thinking of powering my node with mains but decided to run it with 12 volts

Was in Byron for that flood but it was the surrounding areas that got smashed

Isn't the first one going to work as a massive lightning rod?

Can you send a link to that solar panel and solar mount please?

Nice work Matt, where did you buy the Waveshare Board and the Pi from? Went through Lismore a couple of years ago, the ride in from the coast down through the hills was pretty crazy. Knew a few people affected by the floods, very sad, great use of Meshtastic.
