Ciemon - G0TRT<p>Just about to jump into the world of LoRa and I'm going through the internal debate over whether I should go with Meshtastic or MeshCore, I'm leaning towards Core because they seem to have a more appropriate routing algorithm, but...

Charlie<p>All this talk of peer-to-peer texting via bluetooth with bitch at pushed me over the ledge; finally pulled the trigger to pick up some LoRA devices and installed Meshtastic on them.</p><p><a href="https://heltec.org/project/wifi-lora-32-v3/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">heltec.org/project/wifi-lora-3</span><span class="invisible">2-v3/</span></a></p><p>Thus far am VERY impressed with the capabilities of the tech, (albeit the software and user friendliness needs some serious TLC). In a relatively dense community in Columbus, I was able to get direct connectivity between two devices, despite buildings, cars, interference, and who-knows-what in the way, at a distance of 500 meters.</p><p>Nowhere near the rated 15km, but since both devices were just using the bog standard generic antenna at ground level without line of sight, half a klick is very respectable. And compared to that bluetooth app which requires you to be right next to the person you're texting, 5 city blocks range is practically a world away.</p><p>I'll be publishing a full write-up once I do more evaluations, along with all the steps I had to do to get the devices working. I'll also include some upgrades.</p><p><a href="https://social.veraciousnetwork.com/tags/Meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Meshtastic</span></a> <a href="https://social.veraciousnetwork.com/tags/LoRA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LoRA</span></a></p>
