Great article ,ty , but most people are switching to meshcore , theire about 66500 nodes worldwide

Source? Seems like that’s not true: https://adrelien.com/meshtastic-vs-meshcore-i-run-both-heres-the-honest-truth-2026/

I feel like everyone is mesh-flued lol.

Almost everyone i know has a combo of both. Its a cheap hobby....to get into. Then you suddenly have 10 of the things.

Yep, thats correct ,ive got 6, started 3 months ago, just started reading about reticulum

In the states on 915 youre aloud more power than we in europe on 869.
In Belgium there about 800 nodes .

Iam just start reading to install reticulum on a lilygo t beam supreme, almost nobody here uses meshtastic.
Heres a link to the world map .
Not everbody or nodes are on it ,only 2 of my 6 devices are registert

Bery good article!! Ive found alot of the same.

Ha! nice.

I have mostly heltec v3s and they suck at certain voltages. But they are cheap and easy to work with. And run all kinds of meshes and projects.

2 seeeds T1000e

2 heltec V4

1 wio L1

1 seeed solar

Is my collection
My latest is a lilygo t beam supreme for use as a rnode reticulum.
Next buy wil be RAK and XIAO

reticulum

Ha nice! Yeah I want to do more with it but the setup takes FOREVER. Nice collection.

The seeds are better than the heltecs my opinion if I remember correctly. Power draw is less(?)

biggest issue with all those heltecs at a certain voltage it just cuts out. So my solar setup goes dark in the mornings and afternoons.

Seeed solar is never below 94%.,
havent got experience with low winter temp and charging

T1000e , 2 days max.
Wio 3 days.
Heltec v4 as repeater with a bat.3000 mAh about 2 days.
Try to connect solar to battery, use a solar regulator if nessesary.

Thanks but the last thing I want to do is buy more to fix haha. At this point, im just making like ebook reader stuff with them and custom projects. I just wont buy heltecs for mesh projects that need to sit around remote work.

But thanks for the link! You should post here 😉

thats super impressive with the seed solar!

Great project ,ive seen this on an other platform, forgot the name.
Iam just a old noob ,trying new things ,keep the spirit young and sharp.

Did someone else do the ebook reader project? Thats news to me. Woudnt surprise me though. Its a very easy project to do with the hardware.

Ive seen it before ,diff text .
Wasnt on hacker news ,when i find it ,i will send you a message , could be heltec ,reddit, makerspace , hackerspace, discord or maybe NZ,

Its all good. It was mostly a 'can I do it' project. Its just strange two people did it so quick haha. As with most ideas, someone else had it probably.
