After successfully deploying a Meshtastic node, it is time for Meshcore. I am kind of enjoying the LoRa thing.

I should redeploy my ADSB plane tracker again.

Meshcore deployed, I repeat, meshcore deployed.

Honestly, just getting the basic hardware is really cheap, at least for fixed nodes that still depend on the power grid.

Now, the next challenge is mobile nodes, so I will have to deal with batteries. Then I will think about solar-powered nodes and be completely off-grid.

Well, this has become my hyperfocus, thanks ADHD.

@technotenshi what are your first impressions of either/both of them?

[technotenshi@infosec.exchange]

@underwood the very first impression is that it seems there are tons more meshcore nodes compared to meshtastic ones. I must say that I do not have fancy setup, I just upgraded the antennas, yet are not nearly close to be the best ones. also, the nodes are inside my apartment just by a window, so not ideal conditions to begin with.

However, probably is because the way meshcore implemented the protocol and infrastructure, I am able to see contacts from Victoria and Vancouver BC all the way to Olympia, while meshcore I only see nodes mainly in Seattle.
