    When I watch this all I think of is how much I wish there was still a Radio Shack with all these cool bits and pieces to go buy and play with!!
  • @CapnBry
    Meshtastic has really exploded in the past year, I'm seeing it everywhere now. Thanks to the devs for hanging out and answering questions, I had a lot of the same questions! Also the looser discussion hit on other things I was curious about too. The project has been around for a while now so just googling may not give me as up-to-date information as hearing it live.
  • @75burbguy
    This the single most helpful Meshtastic video on YouTube! Thank you guys 😊
  • @MyTube4Utoo
    Don't wanna sound like the crazy "conspiracy theorist" that I am, but Meshtastic may prove to be much more that just another really fun part of our hobby. Reliable, encrypted networks, both local and regional, could prove to be invaluable if the worst should happen. A fantastic video. Thank you, guys.
  • @Metal_seer
    This morning's [2/22] AT&T outage reawakened my interest in a backup communication network. I plan to dive into Meshtastic. Thanks for the education.
  • @suzyamerica4679
    Thanks guys for sharing! And it's wild cool that some of the devs interact on the discord like that. Hats off to Tony for putting out all those designs :)
  • Great stream! I'll definitely be watching this one a few more times when I get around to playing with Meshtastic.
  • @mbunds
    I love the "minimal" setup some people use; they mount the Heltec V3 and its antenna directly into the plastic box they ship in.
  • @rocdoc8427
    Just starting to get interested in this topic and this was a great discussion thanks Josh for pulling this together.
  • @markharrison1160
    Y'all need to stop showing cool stuff. My Lora collection is populating at warp speed 🤣
  • @wpherigo1
    In suburban north Texas, around Dallas, we sure don’t get 1 mile of range. Getting nodes high is not easy.
  • @user-go2sx9vc2r
    Years ago I went to Nepal into the mountains for 3 months every year. I was always thinking how cool it would be to set up Lora type comms up and down those valleys for the locals and for travellers. All sorts of people could use IOT there.
  • @kylecrooks1360
    The Comms Channel has great how-to videos on Meshtastic setups.
  • @ProfMannion
    40:00 Can't get the GPS to be recognized. He mentions changing something else in settings but is talked over. Any idea on next steps.
  • @ch716
    Great video. I have been loving meshtastic. I wish the Mac App could talk to a TCPIP-connected node. I have a Router/Client node (Station G1) connected to MQTT. The webui is very lacking. Using the MacOS or iOS app and connecting over IP would be nice.
  • @zalllon
    Wow, watching you guys I feel so dumb. Trying to learn with the limited time I can spend each week, glad for videos like this to keep me excited about learning. Retirement in a few years and this hobby stuff looks like it can be fun and reasonably priced
  • @SGrosch
    Link for the all in one case and rubber mounted feet from Amazon at 1:27:05 mark?
  • @AndrewWisler
    Man, this stuff is blowing up. I have 2 T-beams running in mini pelican cases with a couple 18650’s in parallel with power for days, but they’re not sexy. Awesome update here.
  • @RRMGarage
    I am waiting on my T-deck to get here, there is a case out there already that lets you use a 8000ah battery that should be plenty for use with the lcd and adding in gps. Fix to those battery life issues.
  • @JohnnyBeeMon
    I'm experimenting with attaching a repeater to my drone as a means of range extending when under heavy canopy or when LoS is otherwise limited.
