    A different beast to Meshtastic, I like the agnostic interface options. Lora SX1280 would be an interesting choice for transport mode, with no duty cycle, license free ISM, providing a higher speed shorter range backbone, with the advantages of CHIRP over standard WiFi modulation, when suitably provisioned. A nice hobby nonetheless.

  • @detaart
    @detaart หลายเดือนก่อน +69

    There's a reason this hasn't been done before on lora ...
    The duty cycle and channel utilization will go through the roof. Especially with the duty cycle limitations in place in europe, this is a non-starter. You've essentially used up your airtime for an hour by sending an image and that voice clip.
    Even without those duty cycle limitations in place, any node that can hear you transmitting is effectively blocked while you are sending an image, file or audio clip. This cannot scale.
    Now imagine a router or repeater ... it takes 2-3 people sending an image or whatnot to essentially bring the service down. Built-in denial of service.

      This is assuming all connections are over LoRa. You can change your transport(repeater) settings to not forward attachments or limit message size. Good points though, however this is not a LoRa only network. Also it does not utilize flood routing.

    • @rfnexusyt
      @rfnexusyt หลายเดือนก่อน +14

      It can and does scale. Here in North America, there are no duty limits on 915 MHz. Not every node in a Reticulum network (whether it be running over LoRa, TCP, packet radio, etc) is a repeater as in the case of Meshtastic. Reticulum uses table based routing with destinations rather than channels and flood routing in the case of Meshtastic.

      It's a LOT more performant than meshtastic. Meshtastic basically wastes a whole bunch of airtime to get even simple text messages through. Reticulum has proper (and extremely efficient) routing, so the number of nodes on the network will not negatively affect it as on meshtastic. The "dumb repeating" of meshtastic wastes an incredible amount of airtime, and Reticulum is a lot more well thought out in how it handles packet routing.

      Depends on your use case. If you are plotting against the regime of some country, from within that country, reticulum / sideband may be of some use.
      But for the average user it is essentially pointless ( especially over LoRa )

      Why Meshtactic? When you can just use your cellphone? Or get a Ham license and $30 VHF-UHF radio?
      Ask the people in Austin TX why they are installing solar Meshtactic nodes all over the Austin area.
      In January, the forecasted weather isn't looking so good.

      @@XRinger Why meshtastic?
      1. Cell operators / the powers that be can monitor cellphones.
      2. HAM radio is not encrypted, not a mesh, is not mapping enabled and has lots of undesirables using it.
      3. With meshtastic friends / family / groups can easily communicate without others listening in or interfering with comms.

    As far as I've understand the documentation I can't use sensors, like a BME680, attached to the RNode to transmit telemetry data. That's a real drawback compared to Meshtastic.

      You will be able to soon with micro reticulum, which is standalone, for now you could do it by using a Pi.

      Why would you? For sensors, use LoRaWAN, or just simply rawdog LoRa. This isn't designed for sensors.

    You are transmitting at 22dBm and doing image/voice transfer on a frequency that only allows for 14dBm and has a 1% transmit duty cycle (36 seconds per hour)…

      The rules are there for a reason. It’s pretty selfish to use shared spectrum like this, and recommending your TH-cam audience to do the same is especially bad.

      No, because you can use any type of connection you aren't just confined to low power radios.
