Puget Mesh

This week was a big week for MeshCore in our area. Member station "WW7STR/PugetMesh Cougar" was installed on Cougar Mountain. Check out that coverage!

MeshCore is similar to Meshtastic but offers different features. Most common hardware supports both LoRa mesh software.

Good propagation on the Monday night Meshtastic net tonight!

Tacoma to Shoreline on 5 hops, and Shoreline to Port Angeles on 6 hops. Great stuff.

For the month of May we are trying out ShortFast. Moving all nodes to the new modem preset. We would love to hear your feedback if you can participate.

How's it working out for you? Any hurdles worth sharing?

We are moving to ShortFast for the month of May.

Attention Meshtastic Users!
If you are located in Western Washington, we are coordinating a switch to ShortFast for the month of May. This should help our mesh grow and support more message traffic.

#pugetmesh #meshtastic #lora

Yep! Puget Mesh/Western Washington is moving to ShortFast for the month of May.

It's been great Adam! Thanks again for this to our community.

We saw your node and were very curious of your antenna setup. Stats and conversations on our discord if you are interested.

Happy Meshing!

Tried Meshtastic and/or want something else?
Give MeshCore a try. More discussion on the discord.

Solar string light solar panel/battery/charger/enclosure + 3D printing = one clean and compact solar Meshtastic node. This one was made by a Puget Mesh member, check out our discord for more details.

Hello Meshtastic Mesh-ers in the area!

We are conducting an experiment. March 16-30th

Please convert all nodes to CLIENT or CLIENT_MUTE.

We want to measure the impact of less routers and repeaters on the mesh over these two weeks.

Results will be published publicly.

Do you mesh with LongFast or MediumFast?

Either way we have you covered with one of our dual-radio nodes. One in Everett named Paine East, and another in Seattle named Capitol Hill.

Did you know? Even though the Puget Mesh Meshtastic mesh has thousands of nodes, we still have challenges with connectivity and message propagation.

Working together we have made great strides in improving this. We encourage you to work with your neighbors to grow your mesh.

New nodes in high places!

LongFast and MediumFast routers in South Everett.

Snow, what snow? ❄️
Local solar powered mesh nodes not even registering the recent snow events. Battery voltages never even went under 90%!

How do you mesh? Check out these photos from one local member who connects while biking.

Hyped about our new Meshtastic MediumFast router node mounted high on top of Capitol Hill.

Connect your client via the default MediumFast channel and slot.

#pugetmesh #meshtastic #Seattle

Possibly! They are small, solar powered, do not need Internet nor a license to run and operate. The burden is about as low as you can get. Good luck!

A big thank you to Seattle ACS for hosting our new Meshtastic node on Beacon Hill. Thanks for supporting this exciting experiment that already has thousands of users in our area.

A big thank you to Seattle ACS for hosting our new double-radio Meshtastic node on Capitol Hill. Thanks for supporting this exciting experiment that already has thousands of users in our area.

Grabbed a family photo while waiting for parts. Dual-radio nodes on the right. Grow the mesh!

Thanks to everyone that made it to the first in person Meshtastic meetup!

It was a nice turnout, and lots of really good questions and discussions. Also lots of mesh nodes and hardware types to checkout.

Despite severe winds and major power outages over the last day, the mesh still breathes!

These are only the nodes that have been heard within the last 6 hours (and provide a position to map).
