For the node telemetry data, is there a way to change which nodes or how many show up there? My friend and I were doing some testing and his node wouldn't show up but ones I hadn't seen in 48 hours or more were showing up...

[@blueskies_solutions]

Hi Axdsc, There is a function to select nodes that are your favorites, but i have not fully tested yet on the priority to be shown on the OLED Screen. on the iPhone app > Nodes > Tap on the Name of your friend Node > Add to Favorite. In this same menu, you can also tap on "Exchange Positions" so the mesh network knows that you and your friend wants to exchange your telemetry data. I think the interface should be similar on Android phone. Secondly, I would be releasing another video on how to create "Private" Channels that you can place your specific friends or family members inside. It will be helpful to chat with specific persons than the entire population on the Meshtastic network

My Heltec screen shows “Unpowered”. Sometimes one line, sometimes two lines both saying “Unpowered”. This happens when the node has power (of course, since the display is active). What does “Unpowered” mean?

[@blueskies_solutions]

Which firmware version are you using and which Heltec model you are using?

You need to do one for the iOS app too.

Let me look into it. Thanks for your suggestions, we have quite a number of Meshtastic videos planned to be released in May 2024. Subscribe to us to be notified

@@blueskies_solutions Thanks. I especially am confused by the RSSI indicator as I have great RSSI values for stations that I can obviously not hit directly by RF (over 60 miles away and my node is indoors with a short antenna). Also the app says I can see 50+ nodes, but when I try to send a message I get no acknowledgement. So which of the 50 nodes is actually closest to me and providing me the connection to the larger community? Many of the nodes do not have GPS, but there must be a routing list that I am receiving OTA would show this. See my confusion? Thanks.

Thank you for the informative video. One comment, while your video has a lot of useful information, it is very difficult to understand your audio. A different microphone may help. Thanks!

[@blueskies_solutions]

Thank you for your feedback. Has since changed my microphone to a better one :)
