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.
Same here. The guy I ordered from is suffering a massive backorder problem, though. Can’t wait to get my boards delivered, though.
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.
