@@The_Comms_Channel been a ton of activity on that code from what I've seen on Github. I would imagine we would have something approaching a usable beta in the next month or so.
I wish someome would send me one of these to review. In the UK 868mhz is used but very few stations on air. I think its just starting to be more of interest. Struggling in the area I live with only a couple of station in 25miles. Looked an intetesting bit of kit. Cheers from old George.
For some reason, I've had no luck with RAK. My solar unit will not stay running for more than a day and when it locks up I have to remove the battery to reset it. Maybe I'll give them another shot with this unit available
Finally started getting into Meshtastic, got some T-beams set up yesterday. Was playing with another LORA module and some arduino stuff, did some experimentation and built a non-mesh LORA repeater, it just receives any LORA message, and waits 30 seconds, and sends it out.
Nice! RAK has some non-mesh example code on their GitHub that has been fun to play around with. I used it to slow down the LoRa settings so the CHIRPs could be seen on the waterfall. Used that for the LoRa video
Nice. Is the board battery connector polarity correct? Where are these fancy ui firmware? Every link i find is expired. I'd really like it on my t-deck
It's the usual RAK 19007 board. The UI firmware is far from ready, but a number of people have asked about it so I may do a video on it. It's still pretty buggy though.
@@The_Comms_Channel ya I'm aware. With the addition of more touch screen devices in betting they will devote more time and energy into a touch UI. What the project needs is people to head that up instead of it getting worked on when the main dev team has time. I'm surprised one of the device makers hasn't forked it
Why do so many designs have the antenna sticking out like that. Like you are only going to use it on a desk. I like hanging it on a backpack or sticking it in my pocket. Wish they would have had the antenna port perpendicular to the screen like thr H1. 😢
Hey, thanks for the videos! Just wanted to let you know that your audio is pretty hard to hear for some of the video. The background audio is about the same level as your voice over. I know it's only in the beginning when the water was running in the video, but I would hate for viewers to see that first part of the video and click away thinking the entire video would be link that.
Not sure what their plans are for the European market. I believe the RAK4631 supports 868MHz so it would just be a matter of having an antenna for 868MHz
Wavelength at 915mhz is ~12in, a 1/4 wavelength is 3", which is a good compromise of gain and receive pattern. If you really want more gain, a 5/8 wave is ~8in. Anything bigger probably won't help much if at all.

The new interface will make meshtastic a very feasible standalone device. This most certainly will fuel the next boom in new meshers.
Absolutely! Can't wait for the release of the new UI!

Looks sick! Love the river footage as well.
Thanks! It was a fun one to make
Great review. Guess I'm gonna get yet another MT node for the collection.

It's definitely been growing. Especially in the UK as well. I'm sure it won't be long before you see some more nodes in your area!

can you make a video about the radiomaster 1watt fpv transmitter that has meshtestic support :)
Based on the Field Tester product by looks of it, not sure if that product is new too? Keen to get my hands on the TFT unit, cool possibilities!
Yep, this is based off their Field Tester. Definitely! Would be cool to see the TFT on some other devices!
@@The_Comms_ChannelFingers crossed they release the 14005 soon. I need to send you my new case Flexo, it’s a Rak case!
I like your thinking Chris 😉
@@grahamwebber9208 Bender Touch ssshhhhh
Thank you,
Sure thing!
Just ordered it
🎉🎉
Nice overview video, God bless.
Not sure what area you're in, but when you were scrolling I thought I saw some similar node names lol. You in Tennessee?
Haha, sure am!

I get that, it is a bit awkward! Probably a bit too thick to be pocketable
Did you ever try a preamplifier
Not tried one yet

Appreciate the feedback! Sounded fine with headphones during editing, but I can see where it's a bit hard now that I watch without them
Hello, nice but about for the frequency in Europe???

@@The_Comms_Channel tnx how can we be sure about that?? 73 qro HB9GUR
Awesome
Is LILYGO T-Echo still good?
It sure is!
Will they be putting on some decent antennas? Most of these come with those stubby antennas that are worthless
The included antenna is great 👍 It's mentioned in the video
Wavelength at 915mhz is ~12in, a 1/4 wavelength is 3", which is a good compromise of gain and receive pattern. If you really want more gain, a 5/8 wave is ~8in. Anything bigger probably won't help much if at all.
I realize this allows use without a phone, with limited ability. However, $110 is getting a bit wild, considering their limited use case.
Why would anybody pick one up? It's not finished yet!! Maybe in 6 months. Maybe not.
Neither is meshtastic
