I’d like to have one at two physical locations, best I can do is a window and a third on me to actually message from. Hope to get sensor data from the two stations and have all three in client mode.
Is that good, bad, whatever!?
What are you doing these days in your local area?
Thanks for the quick response.
Im happy that uptime seems to be as good as you say, and not having to worry about excessive traffic for the future is nice.
I will have highest access point for my area from my grain bin elevator and it looks so far like im alone in this experiment here. I can also get access to another high location or two. Its definitely enough to “paint the town” so to speak. Nothing else even remotely close in the area according to meshmap.net so ive got a nice sandbox to play with all by my lonesome. Small town perks i guess.
Ill do some small scale playing around before i start climbing or aquiring more hardware, but this looks like fun. When i am satisfied on doing low elevation tests, ill definitely be interested in best hardware for a router, but i can take this step by step for now and be happy with learning. It helps that this all seems, at least at first glance, to be fairly straight forward so far as hardware requirements.
oh then by all means please do I think you will very much enjoy it. Mesh map is definitely a good starting point, but it’s not entirely believable. For example, it says we have two nodes in my area on Mesh map, and yet I know for a fact that we have at least ten that occasionally pop up, most of which do not offer their location and therefore are not on Mesh map. There are two decently large cities of over 100,000 people, 70 miles away in opposite directions from me, and one of them says it has five nodes, and the other says it has three nodes. And I’m almost certain there’s more than that. So MeshMap is a good start point but not totally reliable.
