Hit or miss

[blazing pine]

what's the name of the capitan?

[toxic kindle]

SFW is gonna turn the plane around if we keep asking questions

[torn void]

I don’t know but his wife’s name is Suzy

[blazing pine]

is there free dinner on this flight?

[torn void]

I think I’m out of range from the LA nodes

[torn void]

No but the Amex lounge did.

[toxic kindle]

Did you bring your ham radio?

[torn void]

Might be slightly lit as well

[toxic kindle]

Could make some CQ calls

[torn void]

I did not this time

[blazing pine]

cqcq southwest bbq

[torn void]

Did get a snack

[blazing pine]

so, what you doing in Oakland? admiring them bippers?

[toxic kindle]

Your in no mans land now

[torn void]

Y’all are making this flight fun

Lll

[toxic kindle]

No one lives in "Bakersfield"

[torn void]

I heard looting is fun this time of the year.

[toxic kindle]

@blazing pine Has the unfortune of living there

[torn void]

Running audits for a M&A project.

Leaving Thursday morning for Baltimore then back to Houston.

Looking forward to that flight. We will see how many nodes I get picked up flying coast to coast

[blazing pine]

bring your yagi on that one

[torn void]

I think flight attendants my look at me funny for that too

[blazing pine]

... moxon?

[torn void]

Speaking from experience TSA isn’t an issue for that

[blazing pine]

is your node plastered to a window right now?

[torn void]

I don’t have time to get one on this trip unless y’all want to gift me one while in SF

[torn void]

Right next to it on the seat.

[toxic kindle]

do you have a baofeng on this trip?

[torn void]

I am afraid of freaking people out

I’m brown enough

#notabomb

[torn void]

😂

[blazing pine]

remember to insist vehemently

it's not a bomb

[toxic kindle]

We were brainstorming how to make a node seem the most bomb like yesterday

Best we came up with is a node in the backpack and two switches coming out to both hands

[torn void]

Put it in a steel pipe that acts as the ground for the antenna

[blazing pine]

one guy had an exact pipe bomb lookalike node

[toxic kindle]

You have the battery dynamite

[torn void]

Damn getting hits right now.

[toxic kindle]

Who the hell lives here?

[blazing pine]

camels

[toxic kindle]

true

[blazing pine]

lots of rak mobiles

201 202 203 wot

[torn void]

I just got 30 of them in

Thinking about selling some for like 35 to fund my projects. Going to deploy a good number all around houston.

One man infrastructure 😂

[blazing pine]

plant a node; grow a mesh

plant many nodes; become the mesh

[torn void]

I just want to be able to say hi to smeone

😦

[toxic kindle]

I feel you

[blazing pine]

mqtt

[torn void]

That’s cheating

[toxic kindle]

out

the door is right there

[torn void]

We are gonna pretend being on a 6mile high antenna isn’t cheating btw

[blazing pine]

Got an ack

@torn void send a message

[torn void]

When I get closer y’all better say hi

[blazing pine]

I too busy logging Lora packets

[toxic kindle]

@torn void I’m getting Acks it might be you

[blazing pine]

don't just think. verify.

Who is wine.

[toxic kindle]

I got node with unknown name

[blazing pine]

I'm still seeing 0 position packets

[torn void]

I’m hitting a node in Sacramento

[blazing pine]

name?

because it might be from mqtt

Nice !

[blazing pine]

is yer gps even working

[torn void]

They said I also bridged them with other nodes too.

This shit is so fucking cool

Wheels down.

[blazing pine]

hai

[torn void]

Y’all made this fun !

[toxic kindle]

@torn void can you send a screenshot of the public channel?

My message might be there

[torn void]

I only got 1 contact.

[broken saffron]

granted I've got up/down link on

[blazing pine]

lol you've gotten my neighbor who had been running range test for days

[broken saffron]

9e5c? yea, just a couple

[blazing pine]

oh wait... all that is actually received by me. lol

[broken saffron]

I was gonna say. I doubt I'm seeing any real packets from anyone.

The only one out in my hood is in Pleasant Hill

[torn void]

Yah you heard my node

I see my id

[simple hedge]

I missed all the fun by only reading the thread now

should have been here for the past hour at least

[torn void]

I’ll be flying out Thursday.

You’ll get another chance 🙂

[simple hedge]

:))

[broken saffron]

Well if you fly out over the Mt Diablo/San Ramon Valley area, maybe I'll be useful

(so... no)

[blazing pine]

25b1db38,,,5,-71,6.25,0x0,,,,,,1712116721,,,,,, that's a lot of hops

[simple hedge]

On a different topic, I just saw the "Hops Away: [1]" in the IOS App Node list

[blazing pine]

gps still workin'?

[torn void]

Yes.

I’ll keep it on during the trip.

[blazing pine]

I got 0 position packets

[torn void]

GPS is going off my phone e.

Need to get the GPS for my Rak nodes.

[blazing pine]

also, 7 hops is too much

it causes more harm than good

[torn void]

This was my house node in houston.

[blazing pine]

probably why all I saw was repeated packets. over and over again

[torn void]

We have jr set to 6 since we are pretty far from each other and need the hops.

I’ll reduce it next flight

[blazing pine]

1 is good enough, 2 if you absolutely must

[torn void]

Some of the people i talk to are 4-5 hops 🙃

[blazing pine]

more will just cause collisions and people won't hear you

(in a plane)

[torn void]

Point.

I’m probably saturating the fuck out of an area.

[blazing pine]

indeed.

it was a shitstorm here

[torn void]

I’ll drop it for the next flight.

Changed

[blazing pine]

a whole bunch of packets aren't there because collisions

[torn void]

Changing the topic from my fuckio

[remote vale]

Saw your messages at 2052 in South San Jose.

[toxic kindle]

I got two acks which I assume is from the plane. I get 0 coverage of any other nodes at my house and had not other nodes on at the time

[blazing pine]

there was too much packet storm for me to get through, I assume

[torn void]

I feel horrible

lol

[torn void]

@blazing pine rub it in why don’t you.

[blazing pine]

but it's an accomplishment to gridlock a part of a mesh for around 3 minutes! 😆

or was it 4 minutes

you have your own little packet multipliers on the ground

[torn void]

Hey man. Someone had to test the network to failure

[toxic kindle]

@blazing pine Wait so what actually happened?

were messages not going through

[blazing pine]

chUtil went through the roof. packets were colliding

nodes refused to tx

[toxic kindle]

Strange

[blazing pine]

you were alone down there so you didn't experience it, lol

[toxic kindle]

I think I got acked by him but I didnt show up on his phone bc of collisions maybe

[blazing pine]

indeed

[toxic kindle]

I got unkown node node info

[blazing pine]

furtive flapper

@torn void I sees you

but still no position packets

oh got one

@torn void

direct to me 😆

wait wot. it's being received by my solar test node on the ground instead of my skyrak... ?!?

[torn void]

Yup that’s my hotel.

Gonna be running it here till Thursday

[blazing pine]

hide it on the roof

[torn void]

@blazing pine any local channels I should be aware of? #

[torn void]

Got a solar panel?

[blazing pine]

LongFast is all you need 😆

[torn void]

I’m on the 11th floor so pretty high up

What is your nodes name.

[blazing pine]

come here and I'll give you a 10W USB panel, yours to keep lol

I have SR/SkyRAK

[torn void]

Doing a trace 👀

[blazing pine]

I hope you're standing at the highest point lol

we have a hill between us

[torn void]

lol

[blazing pine]

you're bouncing off an SF node

hidden on a hill

[torn void]

I have mine set to 4 hops. Looks like that’s enough ?

Are you bigrak or Skyrak ?

[blazing pine]

I'm all of them ඞ

[torn void]

Don’t see bigrak

[blazing pine]

that's on the ground

it sees a lot of sky

[torn void]

Ok. Nap time.

Talk to y’all tomorrow

[blazing pine]

gute nacht!

Good morning Bay Area. 🙂 suggestions on a breakfast place ?

[broken saffron]

Genericly bay area? Uh... Mel's

There are a few of those around. Or Black Bear Diner

Personally I'm a fan of the Gagnam Cafe where they play Psy on loop 24/7 ( https://www.gangnamcafeca.com/ )

[torn void]

Checking that place out after my meeting

[broken saffron]

lol I hope not

[toxic kindle]

@blazing pine Im looking at the nodes in the east bay and sf and the CH util is looking rather high

like 16 percent on most

is that fine?

[blazing pine]

looks fine to me...

write a packet analyzer. see which packets take up most airtime

[toxic kindle]

Just added position

[broken saffron]

USPS. Please show up. You have something for me from Rokland and I wants my preciouseses

[blazing pine]

I got my 3 rak enclosures just an hour ago

and then bricked my skyrak

[broken saffron]

noooooooo, not the brick

[blazing pine]

it's fixed now, after a risky climb, lol

2.3.4! neighborinfo on! \o/

[broken saffron]

you scared me, I thought you meant 2.3.4 firmware was out and I needed to update everything again

[blazing pine]

you can grab it manually if you want

if not, I suggest you keep neighborinfo off for now

[blazing pine]

@rapid jungle we have a strong link

[blazing pine]

@earnest bane did it died 🫠

[earnest bane]

Map die?

[broken saffron]

WOMM

[blazing pine]

seems no updates for longlong time

[broken saffron]

ah yea, my node shows last data of 3 hours ago.

[blazing pine]

with longlong time being 1 massive hour

[broken saffron]

sorry, 2 hours ago

[earnest bane]

let me investigate. @restive tartan messaged me earlier saying his map wasn't updating either. but position report packets were coming through

self hosted version

I saw my nodes still had updated info

[blazing pine]

who knows... maybe mqtt died?

[earnest bane]

Timed out fetching a new connection from the connection pool. More info: http://pris.ly/d/connection-pool (Current connection pool timeout: 10, connection limit: 100)

I wonder if someone is spamming a lot of packets

[blazing pine]

mqtt still alive

mqtt message rate seems normal too... not that I know anything about mqtt

[earnest bane]

Too many database connections opened: ERROR HY000 (1040): Too many connections

[earnest bane]

must have been something to do with mqtt spamming though, otherwise why would another server with next to no info also have the same issue around the same time

[earnest bane]

[blazing pine]

that's like a tiny fraction of the size of my irc logs

[blazing pine]

[earnest bane]

???

[blazing pine]

or maybe my brain empty

[earnest bane]

nodes seem to still be there 😅

[simple hedge]

I was planning on capturing packets for 1 day (or less?) and then pulling out some reports of what's in there

[simple hedge]

Where do I download 2.3.4? Not much luck on the Github firmware repo

I'm somewhat sad to have abandoned most of my data from the late 90s... everytime I'd get a new computer, the old stuff would just rot behind 🙂

[blazing pine]

i have many layers of backups 🫠

[broken saffron]

buwahahahhahah, the package has arrived

[simple hedge]

What's the difference between these two firmware builds:rak4631 and rak4631_eink especially since I haven't soldered the screen 🙂

[blazing pine]

you probably don't have an eink screen ?

[broken saffron]

we have two rak starter kits, all the fixings for POE... and a 36" 5.8dbi antenna

[simple hedge]

you're right, it's OLED

which means I should use the shorter named one

[broken saffron]

holy heck they ship these things with some small ass screws

[simple hedge]

and many of them too

[blazing pine]

they provide just enough

[simple hedge]

Maybe I'm blind, but I can't find the link to click Download

[blazing pine]

scroll alllll the way down

[simple hedge]

you're right

there's a diagram on the right side

which was capturing my scroll 🙂

I sometime wish I could add emojis to emojis ^_^

I am close by - maybe 6 feet and a wall in between me and the RAK

[blazing pine]

i prefer fiber

[blazing pine]

really disappointed in my upload speeds

[simple hedge]

Do you even have a 10G NIC in that computer?

how can you get 5.3Gbps otherwise?

[blazing pine]

yes. 2 ports

the rest of my home network is 1G though 🫠

[simple hedge]

Good for you! I'm lazy, and just using an Xfinity cable modem connection

it's not that bad, but upload is much more constrained than yours 😄

[blazing pine]

and my wifi at my own little corner of the house

[simple hedge]

if you don't get random packet loss and jitter, you're fine ^_^

[blazing pine]

cheap phone = lots of disconnections

[simple hedge]

I wasn't expecting for the nodeDB to be reset on the upgrade

is that expected?

[blazing pine]

user error, most likely xD

how did you update

and from what version

[simple hedge]

2.3.2 -> 2.3.4

[blazing pine]

it should not have reset

[simple hedge]

using the DFU Mac app

but... I have to say that my previous file I loaded was the _eink one, so that could explain the blunder

[blazing pine]

derp

[simple hedge]

:>

[broken saffron]

bluetooth dfu, this is fun

and faillllllll

[simple hedge]

I've done it like three times so far and has worked everytime

what are the reasons it would fail? weak signal?

[blazing pine]

user error, usually

[simple hedge]

I want to make sure everything's working fine (solar panel charging batteries, upgrades work, etc) before trying to put up mine on the house

so far so good

[simple hedge]

I have a confession to make 🙂

[broken saffron]

welp, that was not an auspicious start

[simple hedge]

I had used the new "Node Filters" widget and had left it filtered by "Device role = Router & Client", so I was only seeing like 4 nodes 🙂

[broken saffron]

unit is ... bricked

[simple hedge]

I forgot about setting the filter until now

all the nodes are still there, problem between chair and keyboard

[broken saffron]

oh that was strange, but fixed

[blazing pine]

@earnest bane deriving implicit neighbors from traceroutes would be pretty fun

[broken saffron]

am I getting nodes from MQTT again?

I must be. It's showing SkyRAK

this is with the out of box rak 915 mhz antenna, aint no way its picking up someone over the hill

[simple hedge]

but it does clearly say MQTT on your last screenshot

*saying

Or that means that it's configured with MQTT?

[broken saffron]

its not configured with MQTT. This is a new out of box RAK

I'm also trying to figure out why the web interface on this unit doesn't work. Ethernet turned on, it responds to pings. But meshtastic web isn't coming up

and bluetooth is still on

[blazing pine]

it's your other node barfing out stuff from mqtt

[blazing pine]

because rak no have web server

[broken saffron]

ok. Thats what I thought. That makes a lot of sense

what?! no web 😦

[blazing pine]

no weeb

[broken saffron]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[blazing pine]

[blazing pine]

https://client.meshtastic.org/

[broken saffron]

that didn't load anything, I thought to try that already.

[blazing pine]

no ssl

j/k i have no clue

[simple hedge]

This UI is not bad

[blazing pine]

just don't try to configure too many things with it, lest something derps

did you get it working?

[simple hedge]

I was able to connect to my other node using the https://client.meshtastic.org and bluetooth

but I think I prefer the MacOS /IOS app instead.

[earnest bane]

heh, I think there's an open issue for something similar with hop counts. but I left it for now, want to keep is as simple as possible

but it would be really nice to have the ui show real neighbours, and none of the mqtt garbage

different coloured links for mqtt vs rf would be nice

see the bridges

I don't think that's available in the neighbours list tho

[earnest bane]

there's a fun bug where you go to save, console shows error with proto, and then it reboots like it did something

comes back, settings not updated 😄

iirc, that was when saving mqtt settings

[blazing pine]

eh, nobody needs mqtt anyways

[earnest bane]

probably for the best

I also noticed "ignore mqtt" was disabled by default in fresh installs

that's a fun one..

[blazing pine]

derp

[earnest bane]

might need to open some PRs with little notes under the toggles

so people don't enable with no idea what it does

thw wifi toggle is nice

tells you ble will go byebye

I'm talking about the ios app now btw

maybe I need to build a flutter app

all the same

so many diffs between clients

[earnest bane]

oh nice! I did see that one the other day. looks like it's getting updates

[blazing pine]

i'd make one too, but i computer illiterate

[earnest bane]

needs a side drawer nav 😉

I used to dev android apps for 10 years

then moved to flutter

so good being able to blast out an ios app from the same codebase

[broken saffron]

Flutter is the new Cordova?

[earnest bane]

flutter is v nice

I never used cordova

[broken saffron]

ah, more java... or dart technically... bleh

[earnest bane]

dart is nicer

I can smash out flutter apps pretty quick with it

[toxic kindle]

If your doing iOS I can help you

Swift I mean

[earnest bane]

Oh yeah! It would probably be all dart

But will see how that flutter repo gets along

Would be minty to see a single app that’s cross platform and clean design. I find myself switching between iOS/android clients because somethings work in the other client and not the other 😅

All in good time tho

[toxic kindle]

MapKit is tempting

[earnest bane]

Is it free?

I haven’t checked Apple docs

[toxic kindle]

Yep

And easy to use

[blazing pine]

@abstract yoke you're on the map! probably bounced off a certain kroo-echo passin' by

That's me

[rapid jungle]

We have enough mesh nodes connected to make a new "US CA Oakland" here

[blazing pine]

just wait til i turn on all 20+ of my nodes

[earnest bane]

have any of you seen weird results when using cli to set custom lat/lng?

I ran:

meshtastic --host x.x.x.x --setlat 123.456 --setlon 456.789

but it was a mistake, so I flipped lat to negative (placeholder values btw)

meshtastic --host x.x.x.x --setlat -123.456 --setlon 456.789

it instantly sends new position to mqtt, but when the next position or map report comes through, it's the old value 123.456 instead of the most recent -123.456

suuuper weird

I haven't read the firmware for it yet, but seems like the positon is being stored in multiple places

[broken saffron]

Hmmm. I think I need a bigger box

[broken saffron]

I set mine via USB without issues... lemme look up what I did

[earnest bane]

sweet, yeah I even flipped --set position.fixed_position false between true/false and tried reboots and setting in different ways. same result

[broken saffron]

meshtastic --port /dev/cu.usbmodemDCDA0C18AA741 --set position.fixed_position true --setlat 37.9 --setlon -122.0

I also set GPS to NOT_PRESENT, since the unit had none

[earnest bane]

yep, tried it with the fixed_position flag true and then even false after another reboot

super weird

smart position is on, gonna flip that off and see what happens

uhhh, no cli option to edit smart

nvm, found it 😛

position_broadcast_smart_enabled

meshtastic --host 10.1.0.251 --set position.fixed_position true --setlat -38.661869 --setlon 178.023660

Device has sent correct position to MQTT.

and now about 30 seconds after reboot, it has now broadcasted the old position to MQTT.

meshtastic --host 10.1.0.251 --set position.fixed_position false --setlat -38.661869 --setlon 178.023660

Device has sent correct position to MQTT.

waiting for reboot...

yewwww, and reverted to old position before command

so whacky

hmm, okay. so set position over cli with wifi, but android device was also connected to the node via wifi. so I guess it was sending a different position later on as well

😂

fighting each other

I disconnected android device that was in background, and the position has stuck to what I set in cli now

[broken saffron]

Ok. I've decided to fix my box problem by ordering one extra large. Something I used for an ADSB Pi.

That way when I upgrade my roof router to a raspberry pi... I have the space and dont need a new box

[blazing pine]

pi zero 2 w

[broken saffron]

noooooooo

Pi4 w/ POE

[earnest bane]

I wanna test Linux native on my zero 2W but that means soldering header pins…

Working on 3b above

[broken saffron]

nice nice. Once my waveshare order shows up, I'll be right there with ya in testing

the "PlanePi"

[earnest bane]

my waveshare order turned up before my rak kits lol

poe is niiiiice

[broken saffron]

Roof. This weekend it'll get the Meshtastic box and antenna, hopefully.

[earnest bane]

that is very cool!

[broken saffron]

and before anyone asks. The mast is grounded, each antenna has a ground, AND the ethernet is grounded.

[earnest bane]

I don't have anything setup here for ADS-B, but do enjoy watching flight radar

see what the helis are upto

small town here

bad mast! what did it get grounded for? not listening?

[broken saffron]

it aimed to misbehave

Number of lightening strikes per year in Walnut Creek: Zero. Amount of overkill for this grounding? 1000%

[earnest bane]

spicy, I've never protected anything from lightening here

but it's very rare

if it goes byebye, rebuild time!

[broken saffron]

Same. I'm 100% certain I could have not grounded anything and been fine. But ya know.... it was a good exercise

The one thing I'm thankful for now in my overbuilding is my ethernet runs. I pulled 4 through the wall into a weatherproof box. Only one got grounded and connected to outdoor rated ethernet (for the planepi), but the other 3 are there.... so one will be used for Meshtastic

[earnest bane]

That’s cool! Nice to have them ready to go

Always pays to run more than one

[broken saffron]

ooooooooo yes, very much so

[earnest bane]

Unless you do something like the Poe switches that are also spillers

*splitters

I like the UniFi flex

One poe run, and split across a few devices

Self powered from the original run

Soo good

[broken saffron]

Yea. I might don that eventually. My entire house is UBNT. I would have to get a ++ injector for that though

[earnest bane]

Yeah, I think I get 20W out of mine

But it goes back to a 16 port unifi poe switch

Everyone showing off their cool antennas. Here’s my $5 one

😂😂😂

[broken saffron]

hey, whatever works!

[earnest bane]

I am the only one with devices in my town so far

so only talking to myself anway

[broken saffron]

For a long time I lived in an appt, and my ADSB antenna was duct tapped in a window. Much to my (now) spouses disapproval.

[broken saffron]

Just gotta convince a few more people to join you!

[earnest bane]

like you said, whatever works ahaha

[earnest bane]

yep! I have convinced a couple from the radio club

they just need to get the kit

I had a shipment turn up the other day, so will give a few out for the time being

planning to get a solar one up on our hill

[broken saffron]

I'm the green dot in the middle. Theoretically the dude to my NW I should be able to hear, but I never have. And geographically, that's it.

[broken saffron]

Yea, that's my next scheme. Figuring out how to get REALLY long life solar nodes up and then find a few friends/family who'd be willing to toss them up on the roof.

[earnest bane]

not tooo many around!

[broken saffron]

I'm currently researching AGM solar setups. Which in my basic research seems like a good option. Should end upw ith an effectively infinite battery life.

[earnest bane]

love to see my map out in the wild lol

[broken saffron]

I've been using it since you posted on reddit

[earnest bane]

I ordered a couple of those rak boards, everyone keeps saying the power efficiency is so much better than the esp32. and saw a post on reddit of someone with one of those little usb power meters. looks good to me. so yeah, prob have a few of those sprinkled around on some hills or friends houses etc

[earnest bane]

I have a 100Ah AGM battery with a 160W panel in my shed. and have metrics rolling into grafana

it runs a unifi g4 instant 24/7

and an APRS digi peater

I have public graph if you wanna check it out

https://solar-pi.liamcottle.net/

[broken saffron]

I'm suspect to those USB power meters in this particular use case. I'd like to see more real data. But I still think the RAK specialized hardware is going to be better than ESP32. An ESP32 is only really good when it sleeps for long amounts of time.

[earnest bane]

link to grafana on page

been pretty cloudy last few days, hence dips in solar

if you set to 30d, it'll show better voltages

[broken saffron]

oooo APRS Digi was on my list of things to do as well! I dont think we need any aprs.fi coverage addition in my area, but more... for the funzee

[earnest bane]

yeah, someone in the comments of that post said the same thing. but still, far lower than current I saw from the esp

[broken saffron]

For sure. For Sure

[earnest bane]

yeah, we have one, that's about 30km out of town. didn't get much coverage of the city, so I set one up cbd

all solar powered

runs off a UV5R lol

[broken saffron]

And I love that grafana dashboard.

lolol uv5!

I think I have one of those floating around... I got carried away a while ago

[earnest bane]

I just added a voltage sensor to the battery, and then run a nodejs express server that returns current voltage

prometheus pulls it in

and grafana shows it

super simple

12.21volt the other day, lowest I've ever seen it since I set it up last year

[broken saffron]

I litterally never key up. I just wanted new toys to listen with. Really was trying the DMR thing, but... no one really seems to care about digital

[earnest bane]

nice lil selection!

we had a DMR repeater here too

[broken saffron]

I really should do more grafana. The one I did setup was on my planepi. I put a BME280 environmental sensor in the box on the roof, because I wanted to make sure it didn't get too hot.

[earnest bane]

it got rekt from the rain

[broken saffron]

oh no!

[earnest bane]

honestly bro, grafana

I live in it

so many things

metrics are very important to me

[broken saffron]

yea, in my "day job" it is too. Just been lazy. Partially because Influxdb has gone from really easy to really annoying with the move to Influxdb2

[earnest bane]

my daily setup

basic as

2m/70cm on the roof

[broken saffron]

ah yes, so you';re a real ham

[earnest bane]

"licensed" ahah

[broken saffron]

I'm a ... licensed fraud? lazy SOB?

[earnest bane]

just general yarns with mates on it

lmaooo

I just like to tinker with radios

long distance coms are nice

I got into meshtastic, because same thing, but encrypted

[broken saffron]

When I got on the radio the first time I beat the average ARC member by aobut....40 years? Wasn't really exciting to talk to anyone

[earnest bane]

LOL

[broken saffron]

so yea. Tinkering is where its at. Handy to have the license. But mostly I just listen. Meshtastic is the first broadcast related toy I've wanted to play with in a long time.

[earnest bane]

yeah we did some "ham crams" here

last couple years, got about 40 or so new members

mixed ages

about 10 young ones

[broken saffron]

Very nice. Our local ARC may be much better now, but I dont get on the nets and don't attend the meetings... covid didn't help. So I shouldn't speak ill of them. It's been a long time

[blazing pine]

I smell ham

[broken saffron]

Apparently so 🙂

Our local CERT was recruiting recently and I really wanted to join and get trained, but alas... I've got a 6 week old and he had other plans for my free time

[broken saffron]

lol what unit is that

[blazing pine]

btech 6x2, same as anytone 868 but I flashed 878 firmware onto it. I was probably the first to do so

[broken saffron]

Very cool. This is my problem though... hobby ADHD. I see cool things and I want to try it. New radio with cool flashy things on reddit? I should buy it!

[blazing pine]

I had to do the most complicated flash dance ever

[broken saffron]

You link new meshtastic firmware and there is a PR for a new "unPhone" I want to go buy it

https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/unphone?variant=40829810311251 - page sits open, hoping I resist

[earnest bane]

primo! Im just running stock on mine

but no dmr repeater anymore, just simplex

[blazing pine]

I sold mine for $120 including 2 extra batteries. dirt cheap xD

[broken saffron]

It feels like DMR has already come and gone. People just don't seem to be interested to "go digital" even though almost every other radio has.

[blazing pine]

probably because DMR sounds like robogarbo

[earnest bane]

too many issues compared to analog tbh

[blazing pine]

now I listen to robogarbo on a $600 receive-only radio

[blazing pine]

oh uh... do you happen to know any cryptography experts?

I've been stuck on a certain thing for like 2 years

[earnest bane]

with dmr?

[blazing pine]

encrypted microcontroller firmware

[earnest bane]

ooooh spicy

tell me more

[blazing pine]

bcd536hp

trying to make a little USB dongle that integrates gps, wifi, and remote control

I've already managed to do both gps and remote over the stock wifi puck, but it's ugly

[earnest bane]

ohhh copy, I haven't played with that unit at all

but I do like some encryption

pic incoming

[blazing pine]

#867578229991407658 message

missing a chunk of the audio convos though lol

[earnest bane]

you wanna voice? I'll switch to other pc

oh wait

that's a chat link

[blazing pine]

#867578229991407658 message

not voice chat, just text lol

not sure if I can link to specific message

(looks like I can't?)

you'll have to scroll up until you hit the uploaded firmware binary lol

[earnest bane]

found the binary

you couldn't find source to the decryptor in the SS?

[blazing pine]

the wut

I computer illiterate

[earnest bane]

SS, screenshot ahah

was meaning this 😛

[blazing pine]

that's all voodoo to me

but it does look like that screenshot reveals everything, yeh?

I might even have the same firmware file somewhere

[earnest bane]

exact same file size on both firmwares, but completely different contents. so fixed size memory layout, and looking at the code in the other screenshot, it just swaps out bytes based on a lookup table. but I'd love to see what's under the blue text lol

2162688 bytes for both firmware lol

but yeah, can't tell how it's mangled since it's covered by the other window

no results on google/github for "var replaceTable = new Byte"

so they didn't upload that source lol

[blazing pine]

definitely not lol

they're probably generating unlock keys and selling 'em on the dark web

[earnest bane]

true

yeah, I probably wouldn't get too much further without other info, or having the radio to tinker with etc. probe chips and stuff clear text is nice

being able to see encrypted/decrypted

then find out how to transform from those states

[blazing pine]

voltage glitching? 😆

[earnest bane]

LOL

those are fun

[blazing pine]

I electronics illiterate

I just figured analyzing decrypted firmware was cheaper than buying a bunch of hardware to reverse engineer the wifi dongle

plus I needed to know the actual format of nmea it accepts for gps instead of throwing random shit and seeing what sticks

[earnest bane]

true

so there's a standard wifi dongle you can buy for it?

[blazing pine]

it comes with the radio

and apparently the firmware for the dongle can be upgraded too

[earnest bane]

probably easier to listen to the usb payloads rather than decrypt the radio firmware

[blazing pine]

no hardware for that 🫠

plus I still need to know the nmea stuff and remote commands

everything I have so far is brute forced

[earnest bane]

wireshark usb traffic 😛

[blazing pine]

but dongle no work on computer

[earnest bane]

oh wut

why not

[blazing pine]

it shows up as some serial shit lol

[earnest bane]

drivers.exe

[blazing pine]

👀

[earnest bane]

usb -> universal serial bus

everything is serial

😄

[blazing pine]

lol

[earnest bane]

looks like a tv remote. is that an official remote?

[blazing pine]

there is no official remote, nor aftermarket

[earnest bane]

how is that one doing the thing

[blazing pine]

and they only publish the most basic commands

[blazing pine]

through wifi. udp

same interface on both serial (rs232) and udp

that's how I figured I could just shove gps data through wifi instead of using the serial dongle

I don't even have the official gps dongle. I made my own

[earnest bane]

oh yeah, so the radio itself connects over wifi, without the dongle?

what's the current setup

[blazing pine]

it comes with USB wifi dongle

but the gps serial dongle is separate, and hard to find

and expensive

[earnest bane]

ahh righto

what is end goal

[blazing pine]

gps, wifi, and remote all in one dongle

maybe even microsd audio recording through the wifi interface

[earnest bane]

yeah, best bet would be trying to find some other app that already does that over wifi, then RE the packets

[blazing pine]

I had to brute force the audio streaming too, lol

[earnest bane]

then send those packets yourself from some other hardware

if they have official wifi support, surely they have some app or something that does the things

[blazing pine]

all the other app devs needed to brute force shit. none got as far as me 👀

and the "official" android app almost killed my phone

[earnest bane]

link?

[blazing pine]

I installed it and everything started shutting down, and a factory reset screen popped up

[earnest bane]

on your phone damn

wildasf

[blazing pine]

🫠

[earnest bane]

if you can link the app, I can have a look at it's code

maybe it can do the control things over wifi

[blazing pine]

lemme see if I can still find it...

[earnest bane]

aight

[blazing pine]

BUT I want the hidden commands too, stuff that even the official app can't do 👀

[earnest bane]

you'd have to find something that can do those things, to RE it

[blazing pine]

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uniden.siren LOL 1.4 stars

[earnest bane]

last updatd 2016

nice

[blazing pine]

the radio scanner world moves slow.

[earnest bane]

uses RTSP for audio

[blazing pine]

indeed. got that part working

I bad at android apps, so I gave up on that one 😆

[earnest bane]

oh yeah, so it's just got it's own little coms protocol that appears to be really dumb

I hate xml

that's sprinkled in there too

[blazing pine]

you don't really need xml... but their own format is even dumber

some people were crying about their radios restarting and corrupting storage when they start their cars...

me:

[earnest bane]

🔋

[blazing pine]

ultracap bank lol

[earnest bane]

\r 😅 y no \n

[blazing pine]

yeah it's dumb

[earnest bane]

I normally implement all my little protocols in either JSON or protobuf

json is nicer for humans, but proto is nicer for size and limited resources

I wonder if these sends the gps?

@Subscribe
    public void onSetLatLong(LatLongPushEvent event) {
        this.mLatitude = event.latitude;
        this.mLongitude = event.longitude;
        this.mRange = event.range;
        if (this.mRange < 1.0f) {
            this.mRange = 1.0f;
        }
        sendMessage("LCR," + this.mLatitude + "," + this.mLongitude + "," + ((int) this.mRange) + "\r");
    }

[blazing pine]

I don't recognize that

[earnest bane]

in the socket connection stuff in latest v1.0.1 apk

which packets have you used

you made that android app yeah?

assuming you connected to the socket over udp and sent some text packets

[blazing pine]

I used nmea strings pushed through the udp interface

[earnest bane]

you have a paste of the text

[blazing pine]

not anymore 😆

I don't even know if I kept anything I wrote. it was all garbage

[earnest bane]

does the app let you set gps pos through it

[blazing pine]

no clue. never used it LOL

[earnest bane]

ahh right yeah

I would say this probably does it

I'll have to check further up the chain to see what the ui says

I haven't launched the app

just looking at decompile

[blazing pine]

I suggest you not try to launch it, lol

oh. I tried to play the audio stream over eps32 too. that was educational but mostly an epic fail

... and then I gave up

[earnest bane]

brb

on radio

[blazing pine]

includes most of the basic commands, but a lot of things are unclear or even totally missing

[earnest bane]

it was close

[blazing pine]

it was fail. apparently micropython bad for audio.

[earnest bane]

this is the one I pasted code for above

[blazing pine]

looks like that may be a one-time thing to filter the radio database 👀

I don't know if it'd lock up the radio or not if you run it every few seconds

[earnest bane]

no clue

I don't have any of the hardware to tinker lol

[blazing pine]

buy one. they're fun 😆

[earnest bane]

hah! I have bought far too many radios lately

[blazing pine]

the close call feature is much nice

[earnest bane]

I can already listen to pretty much everything here on my base station

just no HF yet

2m/70cm/airband

that's all I listen to really

our local DMR repeater died, so no more of that

[blazing pine]

a bc125at shows you the ctcss/dcs tones live

no dumb "scanning" like other radios

[earnest bane]

that's handy

[blazing pine]

you can hook it up to a computer for fun activities too

like logging all active frequencies

[earnest bane]

neat! I've been playing with the kraken rf kit, for df

[blazing pine]

ooh fancy stuff

[rapid jungle]

@earnest bane do you handle duplicate packets from different gateways?

[blazing pine]

I think that's a yes

oh wait I have no clue

it's probably okay to just keep the latest packet of a certain packetid?

[rapid jungle]

Good to know how many gateways heard a packet, but also not useful to have 3 of the same txt message

[blazing pine]

@toxic kindle had that problem with his discord bot

[toxic kindle]

Easy fix

Just have a cache of packet ids

[simple hedge]

in the process of upgrading my rak4631 with the first patched build. I hope I don't have to use the USB cable interface to revive it 🙂

[rapid jungle]

if (id !== 0 && portnum !== undefined && cache.exists(id)) {
          // console.log(
          //   "FifoCache: Already received packet with id",
          //   id,
          //   " Gateway: ",
          //   envelope.gatewayId,
          // );
          // cache.debuger();
          return;
        }

        if (id !== 0 && portnum !== undefined) {
          // console.log(
          //   "Fifocache: received packet with id",
          //   id,
          //   " Gateway: ",
          //   envelope.gatewayId,
          // );
          cache.add(envelope.packet?.id);
        }

[blazing pine]

but the echo chamber was fun

[rapid jungle]

had to filter out odd packets with undefined portnums

for the same packet

[toxic kindle]

Javascript

[blazing pine]

probably for connected client phone?

[rapid jungle]

JavaScript(tm)

[blazing pine]

jabbascripts

[toxic kindle]

  for (int i = 0; i < packetIds.size(); i++) {
            if (packetIds.get(i).equals(jsonMessage.getInt("id"))) {
                return;
            }
        }

[simple hedge]

if I'm just a little bit further away, the OTA upgrade is going at only 2.4kB/s

[blazing pine]

twice as fast as what I get

[rapid jungle]

what is packetIds?

[blazing pine]

a list of packet IDs....

[rapid jungle]

list? array?

[blazing pine]

array probably

[blazing pine]

I don't know computer

[toxic kindle]

Array list

In java arrays cannot be added to

[blazing pine]

both?

[toxic kindle]

static ArrayList<Integer> packetIds = new ArrayList<Integer>();

[rapid jungle]

i had the dumb idea to do it as an array

[earnest bane]

not yet, for txt messages it just dumps all of them in there

[rapid jungle]

class FifoKeyCache {
  constructor(maxSize = 50) {
    this.maxSize = maxSize;
    this.currentIndex = 0;
    this.cache = [];
  }

  exists(key) {
    return this.cache.includes(key);
  }

  add(key) {
    this.cache[this.currentIndex] = key;
    this.currentIndex = (this.currentIndex + 1) % this.maxSize;
  }

  debuger() {
    console.log(this.cache);
  }
}

module.exports = FifoKeyCache;

no need to clear it out

[earnest bane]

mainly because prisma and async was dumb

but easy enough to filter out

[rapid jungle]

just keep plopping the ids in different slots of the array 😬

[blazing pine]

plop plop splash

[earnest bane]

also maybe cache based on sender/packet id, to allow for same packet id from other nodes elsewhere

[rapid jungle]

read that id was not unique across senders, but figured low chance of collision over a small time period

[earnest bane]

I just felt that sender_id/packet_id would be a better unique key, than just packet_id

another sender_id could have sent a packet else where in another country, that has the same packet_id

probably low chance, but depends on your caching duration and all that

[toxic kindle]

makes sense

[blazing pine]

always better to do it right

[toxic kindle]

Now that I think about it I should only store like 20 packet ids

@blazing pine told me to do 100

[earnest bane]

just don't store it longer than 3 days 👀

[rapid jungle]

probably depends on how many packets are flowing

how big the cache of ids (plus sender if you want to do it by the book)

[toxic kindle]

Thats good advice

[earnest bane]

I like unique indexes in the db, but I can't do that for future packets

[toxic kindle]

But im a lazy coder

[earnest bane]

in case the sender happened to use the same packet_id later on

it would just refuse to save

and because prisma is annoying with async, I'd have to use a mutex when doing lookups

to see if an existing sender/id already exists, otherwise async go brrr, check passes in both messages.....

[blazing pine]

how many different deadbeefs have you seen so far?

[rapid jungle]

my dupe packet filter was just a first step, i felt like the better thing to do was to store all versions of the packet eventually so you could see the gateways that heard it and whatnot, and then for things text messages use the filter to not trigger events for every dupe of the packet

[earnest bane]

probably more CAFEBABEs lol

for sure, historical logs are important

I turned off collecting textmessages etc on the prod map. since it's not something shown yet

no need to store those

[blazing pine]

no spicy texts for future reading?

[earnest bane]

it was all really just "test" "hello mesh" "say hi if you see this"

hah

[rapid jungle]

if you got enough gateways hearing the same packet, and the rssi with them, estimate position on non position packets?

...i barely get 3 gateways on my packets i'm sending out from here

[earnest bane]

I do want to have a visualization of packets and where they were heard by

ie, node broadcasts its position, draw line to nodes that heard that, and when

[blazing pine]

neighborinfo

[earnest bane]

yeah

it's just yucky with the mqtt nodes mixing in there

blue lines from country to country

[rapid jungle]

if a node is mobile (roaming?) the neighborinfo is a bit polluted?

[blazing pine]

indeed...

[earnest bane]

traceroute inside packets would be killer

but airtime go brr

aprs does this

on ax25

but the aprs.fi site dedupes and doesn't show all routes that a packet took, only the first to get gated

I want to see everywhere my packet was able to reach

a visualization of "I sent this text message, how far across the country did it go, without mqtt"

[blazing pine]

attach an apple airtag to it

[earnest bane]

https://tenor.com/bLsej.gif

[rapid jungle]

yep

[earnest bane]

it's kinda hope and pray at the moment

being able to monitor over time, how consistently I can get a packet from one side to the other would be good

the linux native nodes might be my way for now

[blazing pine]

set up a few mqtt nodes and gather stats on collisions and missed packets, etc

[simple hedge]

@earnest bane : something like https://pskreporter.info/pskmap.html would probably be nice

to check where you've been heard

of course, that's for HF

[blazing pine]

oooh, I just recalled that that the serial debug log does tell you of noise or possible collisions

[earnest bane]

a map layer that shows a heatmap of all positions your packets get heard could be fun

[blazing pine]

privacy nightmare, you mean? 😆

[earnest bane]

privacy doesn't matter if it's your own data, just self host the map and use your own mqtt server

nuking the public data after 3 days or whatever is okay, but I'm not gonna nuke my own map lmao

of course if you're using your own mqtt server, then you aren't gonna have any of the other nodes, because you'd probably be on other private channels with encryption keys

but I'm sure there will be other people out there collecting everything and not showing it publicly

aprs.fi collects all the aprs stuff

they don't nuke it

[simple hedge]

How can this be? DEBUG | 06:29:00 78 [Router] Update DB node 0xda56c720, rx_time=0, hop_limit=1, hop_start=0

[blazing pine]

that actually looks right

according to something someone said some while ago

[simple hedge]

was the hop_start attribute not set for _meshtastic_MeshPacket in every version?

hop_start should be >= hop_limit

here, in my log, hop_start is zero, and hop_limit is 1..

[rapid jungle]

packet_id 1671020211  Gateway:  !3e1c8f95  rssi:  -107
packet_id 1671020211  Gateway:  !f71e47e4  rssi:  -42

[blazing pine]

those gw be me

[simple hedge]

it looks like hop_start started being set only last month: https://github.com/meshtastic/firmware/commit/585805c3b96d58224ffd2327fd6b4e1712a84abd

so any node with an older version wouldn't have it set

[blazing pine]

yes, but it also shouldn't be displayed

(or so I think) ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[simple hedge]

I've added it as a log

as I want to filter everything from the NodeDB (temporarily) that isn't a direct neighbor

[potent canopy]

if it is not set you will get the default zero value

[simple hedge]

correct

I'll keep it like this for now

thanks

[blazing pine]

[torn void]

Hey y’all.

Guess who is about to be on another flight this dark and gloomy day.

My flight if y’all want to stalk me

[toxic kindle]

Wont be able to meshtastic message you, I got school

[torn void]

Ditch class 😂 this is more important

[toxic kindle]

I dont got a node on me

Hope you had fun in the bay

[torn void]

Got caught slacking

Haha elif away with 160lbs of green coffee. So not complaining.

Got power on my flight !!

[toxic kindle]

@torn void Take off

[broken saffron]

If it's Boeing, I ain't going.

[torn void]

👀

Don’t give that bad juju to me right now

[toxic kindle]

@torn void How many nodes you see?

[torn void]

node is under the seat so not that many

just 2

100% full flight not gonna be possible to do shinanigans

[broken saffron]

https://tenor.com/view/shenanigans-super-troopers-gif-15906272

[torn void]

gonna be no joy on the nodes.

The antenna isnt picking up shit.

well i gonna take a nap. Peace !

[broken saffron]

glfs

[broken saffron]

Alright. This box is much better sized for the Rak node.

[rapid jungle]

Sweet Maria’s?

[toxic kindle]

@blazing pine The guy who does ham radio on parachutes asked me about what kind of settings he would need. Do you think we should do this on the default or some other frequency?

[blazing pine]

default, 1 hop max

maybe even 0

because 1 hop WILL cause collisions

and since he's in the sky, all the 3-hoppers down below will be causing collisions on his receive

so he can only send reliably (most reliable with 0 hop)

ham radio is all about direct rf connections. 0 hops best xD

AND if he's up there for less than 5 minutes, it's not likely that many people will receive his nodeinfo

[toxic kindle]

15 min

How can it be assured that node info will be sent

Should he set node info to like 1 min

[blazing pine]

can't lol

unless he goes ancient firmware

[toxic kindle]

What the min

[blazing pine]

you should patch and compile a firmware just for him

the min is like 5 minutes, i believe

[toxic kindle]

How can it be assured that he isn’t stepped on?

Also I’m not making a new firmware

[blazing pine]

probably won't be any stepping going on

BUT the stations below will appear to step on each other

[toxic kindle]

And should his node be repeating packets?

[blazing pine]

... probably not

[toxic kindle]

What role should it be?

[blazing pine]

client_mute

aim for maximum direct propagation on first attempt. if that fails, then do hops

because even 1 hop might cause epic congestion, collisions, and a locked-up mesh

(like what happened on tuesday)

[timid turret]

People should avoid default frequency slot as much as possible. Its congested.

[toxic kindle]

That’s what I was thinking

[blazing pine]

but isn't the idea to spread yer signal to anyone who can receive it?

[timid turret]

The idea is to build your own mesh with your friends and to spread your signal within your mesh

That’s why we have a default configuration … not a “public channel”

[earnest bane]

Updated my map btw, new setting to make a node show as offline (red dot) if it hasn't been heard from within configured time

[blazing pine]

did you fix html injection problem yet?

[broken saffron]

looking good!

https://meshtastic.liamcottle.net/?lat=62.974085636884546&lng=453.0173563957215&zoom=15 enable waypoints @earnest bane

[broken saffron]

ahahahahah. trolllololol for 14 years

[blazing pine]

but on the bright side, i finally enabled tls on my site after 17 years!

[earnest bane]

ooops, forgot that native html doesn't auto escape like it does in vuejs

I'll check it out

[earnest bane]

that is fantastic

[blazing pine]

[earnest bane]

yeah, 14 years, that's the max int set for waypoints atm

official app sends that in waypoint expire ts

no ui to set when it expires yet

[blazing pine]

no way to delete either

[earnest bane]

but yeah, those waypoints stick around forever atm

^ yeh

[blazing pine]

though i guess i can change ALL waypoints to mr trollface

[earnest bane]

probably easy enough to break everyones mqtt stuff anyway, by sending payloads to mqtt server as other nodes

[blazing pine]

indeed. gotta teach them users a lesson somehow!

j/k i don't know how

too computer illiterate

[earnest bane]

I won't post it, but yeah doable..

[broken saffron]

Option #1 - Spam every MQTT topic with malformed content. Option #2 - Just DDOS the MQTT Server.

[earnest bane]

Option #3 implement auth tokens for nodes so no one can spoof

😉

I want to support offline map via rf only aswell

connect a unit via usb or whatever, and have it populate the database for display

no mqtt needed

[blazing pine]

fix the current web client map 👀

[earnest bane]

probably easier to just have mqtt on a #meshtasticd node, and have it report to itself

[earnest bane]

what's broken?

I don't really use it because not much info

[blazing pine]

it's just ugly and wonky, lol

... and not much info

[earnest bane]

embed mine heh

[blazing pine]

needs moar live plutoboof decoding

[earnest bane]

feel free to tell me what you wanna see

I'm gonna fix the html inject

[blazing pine]

i want live map that connects to mqtt

[broken saffron]

I just want to say thank you for the URL linkification. Handy for keeping my map on my area.

[earnest bane]

no problem, yeah I have bookmark to auto load my area

[blazing pine]

Sets lat/lng/zoom as query parameters. ... lng

[earnest bane]

better than lon

leaflet also calls it lat and lng

but I do see it as lon across the web

I've used lng for years

so it's habbit

[blazing pine]

it's my first time seeing lng

[earnest bane]

😛

hard fork long

😄

[broken saffron]

Liquid Natural Gas?

[earnest bane]

@blazing pine I swear you have react emojis for everything

[blazing pine]

imagine having animated gif emoji on meshtastic maps
