The 3D-printed ASA adapter Erica designed for us in FreeCAD works perfectly! Welcome to the world, spfld.net-0001! #LoRa #MeshCore

Spear of LoRaginus #LoRa #MeshCore
When we work together the possibilities are limitless. The amazing folks at Academy Hill just donated over 40 laptops and numerous desktops, monitors, and peripherals. They save on recycling; we get to continue our mission of helping residents of Greater Springfield 🥳
MASSIVE THANKS to Academy Hill for donating this AMAZING collection of second-hand tech! Once we’re done refurbishing, we’re excited to get this all out into the community and into the hands of Greater Springfield residents in need!
W😳W!!!
our original prototype #MeshCore repeater design (heavily based on www.instructables.com/Meshtastic-H...) spfld.net-0001 is going live tomorrow! (It’s too dark to install it on the roof of HQ this evening lol)
Huge thanks to Patrick Sliney for donating the solar panel pictured! #LoRa
Looks like a successful print! Time to get up on the roof and start the installation of our next (technically first?) #MeshCore #LoRa repeater spfld.net-0001 a full week after the installation of spfld.net-0002 😜
Mating the 3.34” diameter laminated wooden dowel our #MeshCore #LoRa repeater lives at the top of to a 4.78” diameter iron roof vent pipe isn’t easy, but with FreeCAD, PrusaSlicer, the correct settings for printing ASA, a functional adapter design, and a set of adjustable straps it’s totally doable!
We are truly grateful for the amazing donation of tech recently provided to us by Academy Hill! Check out the amazing work they do on behalf of their students and the community we’re proud to share at academyhill.org
Rock on, ye good stewards of the next generation 🤘🎸
Our first deployed #MeshCore repeater, spfld.net-0002, is live! (0001 is on the bench while we work out a few additional kinks)
Huge thanks to Strong Young Minds, LLC for the valuable roof space! Check out their amazing work and give them some love at StrongYoungMind.com!
