Oh! Well done! This channel is going to grow!

[paulnagel]

This is the best, most in depth how-to on the WisBlock I have seen. Thanks for the great info!

[spudhut]

Im on a Meshtastic learning binge, best channel out there! Thank you

[Radio]

Thank you for making this. It demystified the Wisblock and flashing process. I was about to just buy a ready to go unit, but this made the Wisblock seem doable.

[spudhut]

Im really enjoying the Meshtastic training...well done. I keep coming back for more!

[DD-pncb]

thank you for this very clear and un-hindered format hope this continues while i'm learning about this

[miltoneduardososa]

Great video, keep posting the good stuff!!!
Since ultra low power is key in this topic, a power-profile-kit or an Otii Arc measuring and exposing the total consumption of the node would be a great add-on to your videos.

[KiLLaDaTa]

Thanks! By far the best videos on meshtastic I've come across

[slappomatthew]

great video. love this series. just got a T-beam supreme and T-lora to play with. I have 2 of the wiseblock setups on the way for solar powered repeaters.

[MrtrenchTrucker]

This seems way better than a T-Beam and needing to solder the screens that seem to keep burning out on me. Imma have to check this out!

[TheBoatPirate]

this channel just keeps getting better!

[erinw]

You do really wonderful Videos! Well Done!

[pauluzzi]

Have you covered the integration of the motion sensor in another video yet?

[JD_NewEngland]

This Series is great. Im looking forward to the MQTT series. I would think MQTT would allow you to monitor devices that are outside the range og the Lora Network. And provide encrypted coms with remote locations.

[peterraeth]

A great video that lays an excellent foundation. What I would like to do though is use RakWireless components to read sensors, compose messages, and then transmit them over Meshtastic. Yet, it seems sensors are directly controlled by the Meshtastic software. Can you suggest one of your videos that offers a solution? Have been studying RakWireless' product line but cannot see how it would be done. Many Thanks.

I have a rak4631 (915) meshtastic with very poor performance compared to my other radios I have tried other antennas that work well. but nothing ! be lucky if it was good for 5oo meters line of sight.
Thanks for the great videos supper helpful.

[EpiclyReckless]

Woo-hoo this is the one I've been waiting for. I just put a solar powered one on a mast on my roof

[rayfletcher]

How about adding GPS module and enabling it? Enjoying the series. Want to build stand alone solar node for remote location.

[TimShelnut]

So can I add to this base board the GPS RAK12500 + the temp sensor RAK1906? Looks like the GPS board covers slot A where the temp sensor board would go.

[harleypub]

What is the limit of additional units that you can add to the WisBlock base unit? Are there base units that are either expandable in total slots? or ones that come with more slots already?
