I think im convinced now to swap over to Meshcore! Great job Liam Cottle and team

[RSJ_Tech]

Hi Andy, great progress from using Visual Studio to compile in January and setting up manually!!

[msnusteve]

What frequency is best to use for Meshcore 869.525 the standard lora frequency? Or 867.5 as shown in your app?

[melvynburchell]

I flashed up a Heltec V3 Companion and a room/repeater with a yagi. They seem to work quite well - but it looks like I receive no other adverts apart from my own. I also flashed up a Seeed T1000. That was something of a game, flashed several times as thought it was not working (no lights, buzzer - appeared dead). After putting the T1000 into dfu mode and flashing it can no longer be put into a proper dfu mode from Meshtastic flasher and dfu mode from Meshcore flasher appears to set dfu mode (green light lit) but no drive appears on Windows although will take a flash from the Meshcore flasher when “flash is pressed”. It is odd behaviour and whilst the T1000 is working on Meshcore I cannot turn it off! It might be worth doing a flash video for some of these devices that seem finnicky and display very different behaviour from a Meshtastic flash.

Hi Andy great video any chance of a vid on how to install and set up a T Deck

[TafferBoyElvis]

Is this basically a better operating version of the other Mesh technology we've been using? I noticed in a past video you kinda talked around mentioning the former technology.

[RuytonXI]

Thanks Andy, an excellent guide and answered a number of questions I had.

With all the CLi level config weeds I've been in of late, you gotta appreciate a good companion pairing and config GUI ❤

Much love from Pennsylvania, still working out the kinks on my end...

At this rate I haven't even bothered with custom keybinding or a custom boot splash because I dont wanna be editing my binary 3x every 2 weeks 😂❤

Literally every video is now an "important" notification.

[LOGoltem]

Not sure if you have a video on the following already, but could you make a video about the different companion radios that support mesh core and their differences?

[Selfenrichment]

Great explainer video Andy, Excellent work on the app and functionality Liam. Multiple nodes flashed ready to be deployed shortly in the SW Uk. If only i could find a use for these rotary encoders....😉

[MakeDoAndMend]

Hi Andy. I have 5 Meshtastic Nodes up and runing in Corby. All ok with directional aerials etc. One of the is in my Campervan monitoring humidity etc. Also will ve monitoring leisure batteries when in storage for winter. Any just got a Meshcore Node up but not received any stations in my area unable to test as not got another spare Heltec v3. If any going spare Freeby. Cheers from G1BKI.

[GBnet]

Any chance of us getting an ATAK meshcore plugin?

[melvynburchell]

Is there a list of command line settings anywhere?

[spasticjackson]

Just set up an old heltec v3 with Meshcore (USA). Not nearly as widespread here in the middle of USA but perhaps some folks will try it.

[notaprofessionalJ]

Onyx Palma 2 spotted! did you get yours for the same reason I got mine: water-resistant device for working with Meshtastic outside?

[purplenurple]

Hey Andy, can I block broadcast location and only use for private groups ? Yes, start production on those repeaters.

[tonycat]

Hi AK, I just switched to Meshcore but the Heltec V3 does not give a Bluetooth pin on the screen. Just the Meshcore logo after flashing. Using iphone app it searches but can't see the V3. Any ideas??

[melvynburchell]

Is there any plans to utilise the Heltec V3 WiFi? For example using Meshtastic the HV3 will happily connect to my home WiFi at the top of a pole in the garden allowing me to connect direct anywhere in the house. Bluetooth is well out of range unless I stand outside in the garden. Or can I do everything over LoRa with another node?

[Can_I_Have_A_Go]

So.

If nobody in your town is doing this are you talking to yourself.?
Also what is inside that device? Esp32? Pico?
