MeshCore
As we gather more tips, we'll reformat this page to be more cogent.
Documentation
- A good overview of room servers and MeshCore in general.
- Observer Nodes feed the analysis sites
Live Analysis
- Analyzer 00id Map of Nodes and other things.
- Analyzer LetsMesh Another map of nodes and other things
- Baus Meshmapper San Francisco Bay Area
Misc Info
For a G2, transmit power of 10 = 1 watt
For Repeaters: Be sure you don’t steal a prefix of someone near you… can use admin via your companion to set an unused prefix.
Are you connecting to the mesh?
- Receiving: Tools > Rx Log will show messages coming to you.
- Transmitting: To see if you make it to the mesh, add the #test channel. Post a message and look for the number of repeaters. Also try posting !path and look for a pathbot to reply.
Unexplained Things
- All contacts not in contacts list.
- With a Heltec V4 on 1.14.0 and iOS app. I see 146 contacts in my Contacts list. When I go to Discover Contacts I see 270 contacts; the ones not in my contact list have an "add" button. In Settings > Contacts I have set to Add All and Overwrite Oldest. Why aren't all the contacts in my Contacts list?
Open Questions
- Ping Warning
- You know 2 repeaters or room servers with prefix <61>. Unfortunately we won't know which of them replies to this ping request. Dismiss/Confirm.
- What exactly does this mean to me as a Companion node?
