The cheaper v3 and more talk on youtube finally pushed me to order a LoRa board.

I set up my first node this week! Not much traffic yet, though.
Welcome, yeah depending on where you are the network still has big gaps. I’ve been on my local mqtt topic to stay connected, but I did hit a lot of nodes driving through Tennessee.
Yeah. I live in an area with a lot of river valleys, so the signal doesn’t propagate as far, either. I might set up a solar client on top of a nearby ridge to try and build out the mesh.
I’m in. I just need to connect to the larger mesh around me
For a complete noob, can you explain the difference between the versions? Does V3 interact with the V2 OK?
Best i remember it’s compatible but v3 has a few important updates.
Thanks.
Same here. The guy I ordered from is suffering a massive backorder problem, though. Can’t wait to get my boards delivered, though.
Mine finally shipped yesterday.
Yeah! i bought several LoRa boards and antennas and I did some testing with them. For now I have them stored in a drawer, but I am hoping that the technology will become popular enough to start building practically useful meshes around here by collaborating with others.
You should set one back up, there is a backorder on some of the boards so it looks like interest is up.
Looking at meshmap.net I’ll probably be on the edge of making contact, but we’ll see.
