      Fort Wayne Lora/Mesh Network

      Just turn on Map reporting and MQTT. It's the last few options under MQTT. Set precision to Medium. Set Map reporting to something like 900 or 1000 seconds. Your node will need to be connected to Wifi. I set mine for a fixed position near my home. Got them to show up for awhile then turned...

      Fort Wayne Lora/Mesh Network

      I am seeing Garrett on my node at my house, one hop away, assuming the hop is my downtown node. Hardly anyone enables internet and mapping locations. I did it just for a short time to encourage use.

      Fort Wayne Lora/Mesh Network

      Great! Best way into it is to just buy a few and jump in. I would get a few Wisblock Rak kits to start and play with what range you are getting. There may be nodes already around you that you do not know about. I see a node around Garrett here in SW Fort Wayne, linking through my node 130...

      Any idea for a cheap vibration damper??

      I used a large concrete paver with packing foam underneath works great.

      Sunlu filaments have been really good on my P1S also. When there is a sale load up on it.

      Anyone in central indiana have experience with LoRa/Meshtastic?

      Good luck! Enable MQTT with a fixed location near your area so it shows up on the mapping for awhile and then remove it if you do not want to keep it. If you do keep it change the root topic to msh/US/IN to reduce the huge amount of msgs, to IN only msgs. There is a meshtastic IN FB group...

      The Official 3d Printing thread

      Best thing to do is go on Makerworld and search the 3d printer "all" category filter by most downloads. And choose the projects you are interested in. My riser was the AMS riser.

      Yah, a two into one adapter for the AMS so I can easily do an external roll, rack for the AMS, poop chute, and concrete/foam anti vibration base. Upgraded lighting.

      Fort Wayne Lora/Mesh Network

      I currently have four nodes deployed in Fort Wayne from the SW side of town, to 120 feet up downtown, and then further East at my office. The attached map shows 8 nodes in this area. I am sure there are more, many do not enable an internet connection to show on maps. The colored map is the...

      Anyone in central indiana have experience with LoRa/Meshtastic?

      Fort Wayne guys, I have 8 nodes now. Rak Wisblocks. One node up and running SW Scott and Illinois Rd. One on E State near Maplecrest. One solar install to be at 120 feet downtown building facing North, waiting on battery for this one. More to come.

      I have 5 Rak Wisblocks Lora units on the way. I will have 3 fixed location sites in FW. One SW near Scott Rd. One downtown on the 11th floor balcony facing North, and one at my office on E State near Maplecrest. Anyone else in FW have them?

      Why Do So Many On INGO Hate HOA's?

      This is exactly how it is. Was on our HOA board for last 12 years. The covenants rule, legally can not stray from them. And the likely hood of ever changing them is next to nill. You can not 20% of the people to vote on something much less 2/3ds. I joined because I wanted to make sure that...

      After 8 years on my MakerFarm Pegasus 12 inch, I am moving to the Bambu P1P, and will be making my own enclosure as a way to used to the new machine. Looking forward to it, should be here in a few weeks. A lot has changed in 8 yrs.

      Long Range, low power wide area network (LoRa)

      May be good for use with your team, tied into ATAK. Or over a larger area if you can get some repeaters at height, maybe your local ham club. A FB group just started up for Indiana Mesh. Some cities have wide use of it out west not so much here.

      INGO HAM Radio Club

      Probably the easiest path to start with would be using a Mobilinkd 4 with one of your existing HT's. You will need your ticket. With vhf packet (if supported in your area) you will be able to SMS or email via APRS, or Winlink. Watch videos on this, as a starting point.

      Emergency Communication

      My base antenna is the Chameleon Emcomm 2 in my 2 story attic with the element running outside into a line of pine trees. Very thin wire does good under the HOA radar. Unseen.

      This, And test which of your antennas do this the best and which stations you can hit reliably. For me, my EFHW does better than my Chameleon MPAS configurations. 5w portable I can reliably hit 40m stations on Winlink Vara/JS8call to the east coast and close to the Rockies.
