A little #portable #boxed #radio #lora #rnode using a #raspberrypi02w #raspberrypizero2w
that uses the Pi's #wifi #accesspoint #ap to allow the GUI of #MeshChat to be used on a #smartphone to access the #mesh and #message and send & receive #images #photos on the move using #Reticulum

#rnode #reticulum #meshchat #reticulummeshchat

On #reticulummeshchat #reticulum #reticulummesh #meshchat you can over #radio
1. run multiple #lora #rnodes on one computer.
2. make voice calls over #433mhz ( #ism band at low 12dBm power) between two #rnodes , but of course with delay.
I used #heltec #t114 (version 2 ) and two #lilygo #tbeam for
#VoiceCall #telephony
(un/like #meshtastic )
3. image files can also be transferred

#Settings in #reticulum #meshchat #reticulummeshchat #rns for #lora #radio #mesh Always set your stationary / radio #rnode #rnodes to be #gateway nodes (#interfaces) for effective #routing in your #mesh. See Sect 6.14 of rns #reticumlumnetworkstack manual
https://reticulum.network/manual/Reticulum%20Manual.pdf
(and of course always also as #transport node else message packets from other nodes won't spread) Set the settings in the #configuration file or #update the #meshchat program now & set to gateway in the settings menu.

Link below is for step by step instructions for installing #reticulum #meshchat on #RaspberryPi using #commandline ( e.g. with #remote #headless #ssh ) with automatic #restart of #radio #rnode #service on pi power-on or #reboot . Suitable for restart of pi+rnode after #brownout of #SolarNode following period of little sun, or for rnode in car #carnode to start automatically when car starts, or battery powered node --->

#reticulummeshchat
#nodes like #meshtastic nodes

Is its possible to have a #mastodon -like #fediverse #instance that uses #reticulum #meshnetwork #network like #nomadnet ?
( #reticulummeshchat is great but has no #group #chats at the moment )

Laptop running #rak3172 #lora radio #reticulum #rnode, linked by lora radio only to a #lilygo #tbeam supreme rnode in loft under roof for connection to local #loramesh for text, image & sound messaging, & hosting webpages

software:
#reticulummeshchat ( #linux #ubuntu )

(This is an alternative to #meshtastic )

(1) Video on making pages (#webpages), using #nomadnet software. Pages are for being served over the #nomadnetwork using #reticulum #RNŚ

(2 Video showing how then to read the pages (like webpages) using #reticulummeshchat & using #lora #radio #rnodes to connect to the #nomadnetwork #mesh & also to retrieve the data from the serving node on the #nomadnetwork

Like #meshtastic mesh but ... provides resilient #lora #internet #rnode

"Nomad Network allows you to build private and resilient communications platforms that are in complete control and ownership of the people that use them. No signups, no agreements, no handover of any data, no permissions and gatekeepers."
https://github.com/markqvist/NomadNet
and can be used via #reticulummeshchat
using radio nodes #rnodes similarly to #meshtastic as well as via the internet

The video is long but does show you how to do it and what to avoid. Highly recommended.
