#meshchat #reticulum #LoRa
It seems that it is important for all #rnodes in a given #meshchat based #loramesh #mesh to update to the latest #meshchat version to ensure all rnodes can function as intended.

Has anyone managed to make a message #bridge between different #spreadingfactor #sf #lora #rnodes using #reticulum #rns : either using the same single computer and two different #rnode radios (on the same frequency), or using two rnode radios on 2 different computers connected by #wifi? I seem to get this not working "out of the box" because of #collisions of lora packets of the two rnodes. Has anyone managed to bridge lora rnodes by putting in a transmission delay in #reticulum e.g. #meshchat ?

If a #reticulum #meshchat instance with a #lxmf address on one computing device has 4 identical #lora #rnodes #rnode interfaces, each with same settings of frequency #spreadingfactor #sf, each rnode having a #directional #yagi #antenna in close vicinity, will transmission to a sender of a #deliveryconfirmation (#downlink) from 1 antenna to the sender's direction, be messed up due to local #collision at rnode 1 of different attempted #acknowledgement signals of the other 3 near rnodes?

Is there a #simulation of a #lora #reticulum #radio #mesh used with different numbers of #rnode #radio #nodes #rnodes for given #spreadingfactor ( #sf ) & given payload size? Am interested to know what happens to the routing, & likelyhood of #deliveryconfirmation for small LoRa packets (max 2 blocks), for longest transmission times i.e. spreading factor 12 #SF12 . Would like to know if my impressions, that SF 12 is very tricky under #RNS LoRa as compared with #SF10, have a clear explanation.

With a #RaspberryPiZero2W & #usbhub https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/USB_HUB_HAT_(B) possible to use 4 #lora #radio #rnodes at same #reticulum #meshchat interface. Can use 4 different sets of radio parameters at one #LoRa #radio interface. Can use 1 radio with low #spreadingfactor #sf for short transmissions at high data rate for large payloads like images or accessing #nomadnet #pages and 1 with larger SF for longer range. No need to choose between #meshtasic presets https://meshtastic.org/docs/overview/radio-settings/ ! just use them all ! Magic

Some interesting info about the effect of #spreadingfactor (#SF) in #lora #radio #mesh is in papers about SF https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8512894 SF12 in #lora & lora https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5038744

Can one influence the effectiveness of using multiple #rnode interfaces , in one single end-point location, with different SF by setting the #LXMF delivery limit #DELIVERY_LIMIT down https://github.com/markqvist/LXMF/blob/c426c93cc5d63a3dae18ad2264b1299a7ad9e46c/LXMF/LXMRouter.py#L38 from the default 1 MB for those #rnodes, of a set, with higher SF values?

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.

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

This video shows how to host pages (text pages) via #Reticulum

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU1NR19Bf-w

on the #nomadnet by installing the app on #ubuntu #linux (can be done for #windows and #macos presumably)

The pages thus made and made available in the #nomadnet could be accessed even by a #mesh of #lora #radio nodes #rnodes (simliar to #meshtastic )

The video shows use of the #micron markup language, to make the pages,
see the parser here https://rfnexus.github.io/micron-parser-js

"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."

and can be used via #reticulummeshchat
using radio nodes #rnodes similarly to #meshtastic as well as via the internet

With N = at least 2 #meshtastic alternatives sprouting e.g.
#meshcore and
#rnodes using #reticulum
it seems that a #solarnode setup is going to need a solar power source and N power outputs from that to N nodes, each one running the #firmware for each protocol.
Now we need a protocol with in-built #ota #overtheairupdate please!

I love how #Meshtastic is being built out. Just heard of #reticulum and #rnodes using similar hardware but with additional features, including file transfer and voice.

Are there any cool projects for it like @tek work on the Meshtastic BBS Frozen? Would there be a way for RNodes and Meshtastic networks to integrate? The fact that Reticulum is a network stack opens up a lot of possibilities.
