Mesh Network GPS Communicator (Meshtastic with TTGO T-BEAM)

[@JackmanFlicks]

We learned that cold soldering does work! At least long enough to finish the video.

[@jhlewis10]

You need to heat the pin then add the solder, after you flux.

[@jaimeivargas848]

thanks for the tip though i'm pretty sure it will actually take a lot of practice to really become "comfortable" doing it. 😅

[@teamzv7505]

@@Michael-pk5le the soldering part was actually a grueling experience for me as i only made use of what i currently own and really lack the knowledge, all the more the skill of soldering - so i cannot really help you with that. but a number of resources recommend the use a smaller soldering wire and tip.

[@paulladdie1026]

did you have flux cored solder? if not you need to add fluxt to the joints.

[@RyanDurbin10]

Omg that soldering...

[@QuentinQuark]

Where do you get the diagram to know which pins to solder the OLED display to?

[@MilanKarakas]

Pay attention on proper pin order; VCC, GND, SCL, SDA. Some OLED displays having VCC and GND swapped. Then on the board watch for 3V3,GND, 22, 21. So solder VCC to 3V3, GND to GND, SCL to 22, and SDA to pin 21.

Thats really cool! I'm waiting for both of my boards to arrive. Is it possible to setup the software to see the range on each one? (Hoping from my house and down the street until it stops) Any way to setup GPS on it for the measurement? Thanks

[@mikehen06]

i soldered in the right holes but the screen wont come on. battery installed right. plugged in, antenna on. any ideas? two boards the same problem

[@pisolo86]

Can these device work without any android or mobile link, I mean can I just send GPS position via lora and use the other one to track it?

[@csselement]

My guy's soldering technique is HORRENDOUS.

[@Meshtastic]

Really great tutorial!

[@sonnywee2000]

Which frequency configuration did you get? 433 Mhz ? or 915Mhz?

[@JNET_Reloaded]

The music is very annoying.

pardon my noob video editing. 😓

[@donnytrisandi8862]

how to change radio frequency in my region?

[@TheBlackBriefcase]

Man you are awesome, but what is with that music

[@mickeydomh9374]

what freq for philippines?

[@deecee5996]

any LoRa supports 10km? thanks sir

[@MilanKarakas]

So, what is purpose with TTGO to communicate over the phone, when you can easily send SMS? Underground communication? Really?! If your government want to track you, they will do it even if your phone is off.

[@jesarjamesgacula]

Sir, I'd like to develop a "proof of concept" where this tech can be used in information dissemination, and search, rescue & relief operations in times of calamities. May I know how do you intend to use LoRa?

[@jaimeivargas848]

personally, it's just a school project though it really got my interest already. ☺️ i do hope this gets implemented by our local government units - especially those in the remote areas and are calamity-prone. and hopefully in the near future, communication through mesh network will be mainstreamed and as part of my wishlist, that this topology will eventually replace these 4G/5G/nG networks. 🙏🏼

[@teamzv7505]

@@Michael-pk5le i agree. but please remember how our current mobile communication and networking started. ☺️👌🏼

[@maddogmorgan1]

Already been used for that purpose for awhile now

[@tophattommy2]

That's what I'm working on using it for with ATAK. I recognize that your post is a year old but conversation and lessons learned are good for progress.

[@justincase1898]

there was a apple store app btw...

[@snoozeandrelax]

You should skip the background music

[@GuidingLights272]

Great video Sir :)

[@Tabbyf]

What else can this gadget do without an Android phone? My guess the Android with the app is the device to send chat or text messages. I only have an iPhone but like to experiment with this LORA. Salamat.

[@jaimeivargas848]

using it with an android phone is simply the easiest path, of course only if you already have an android phone. haven't tried it yet but you may try using their python API (pypi.org/project/meshtastic/) from your (windows/mac) computer instead. if you're gonna try it with a mac, kindly comment here a link to your guide - wanna try it myself as well. 👌🏼

[@Tabbyf]

@@jaimeivargas848 Looks like this does exactly what the Gotenna does except the user can add more features and functions since it's reprogrammable.

[@jaimeivargas848]

@@Tabbyf yes, i've learned about gotenna as well. unfortunately it's commercialized. hopefully this meshtastic project pave the way to a speedier mainstreaming of communication via mesh network.

Over loud painful music, better without music

[@jebthereb2]

bro. the music is stupid loud.

[@kenbetenia8554]

Whats the deal with the music? Made the video useless

[@ramjet4025]

This yet another useless video on the Lilygo Lora board. Its yet another Meshtastic video that assumes we are all "MAC USER"s ...I get really sick of arrogant MAC tutorials that forget most of the world is on Windows

Please, please, lose the horrible music !!!
