00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:22.839
videos. Once that list reaches twenty
thousand, I will be doing a giveaway

6
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:28.640
of another HF radio sign up today
and thank you for the support. This

7
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:34.280
is a mesh Tastic device made for
outdoor use with a small solar panel and

8
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:39.799
a waterproof case made by Rack Wireless
our Ak Wireless. We're gonna set this

9
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:45.719
up today. Take a look at
it and see what it does. We've

10
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:50.320
been doing a lot with mesh Tastic
over the last month or two since ayenhamvention.

11
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:54.799
I got this from an Etsy website
link. Josh had featured one of

12
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.200
these in one of the videos he
did, and I'm like, where did

13
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:00.359
you get that one? Because it's
waterproof, supposed to be weather if it's

14
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.319
got this little solar panel on it, which I think they've determined is too

15
00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:07.319
small to actually keep the thing charged. I mean, if you're in perfect

16
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.120
sunlight every day, if you live
in Hawaii. You know, this might

17
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.319
be great if you live in a
place where the sun is out all day

18
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.000
long and you don't get much rain
or clouds, then this might work just

19
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.840
fine. But I think they've got
some newer versions of this that has a

20
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:22.719
larger solar panel, so maybe we'll
pick one of those up soon. But

21
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:25.920
today we're gonna be looking at this. I'm gonna flash it, I'm gonna

22
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:27.760
show you how to find out information
about it, and we're gonna kind of

23
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:34.120
take a look and get it all
connected to our existing mesastic small mesh tastic

24
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:36.879
network that I have here at the
house. This is the Etsy shop.

25
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:41.719
It's created by Garth VH Garth Victor
Hotel. And this one at the top

26
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.719
right here, that's the device I
have. But if you scroll down and

27
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:48.000
look for devices he has for sale, he doesn't actually have any of these

28
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:51.920
listed right now now, I'm not
seeing. Yeah, there was some other

29
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:53.599
ones on here the other night when
we did our live stream. He had

30
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.560
one like this, except it didn't
have this little solar panel on it.

31
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.439
It had an external solar panel that
was like maybe four times the size of

32
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.159
this one, and it was like
one hundred and thirty nine dollars for that,

33
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:06.599
and I'm like, well, I
should probably buy one of those,

34
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:08.280
but let me get through this one
first, and then i'll do that next.

35
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:13.360
And apparently I'm guessing he sold out
of them because they're not even here

36
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:15.240
anymore. But this is the website. I will share this link in the

37
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:20.319
description below because this is the website
where this device came from. So this

38
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.680
is the device right here. As
you can see, it has these kind

39
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:28.520
of coarsely threaded screws that you have
to take out and open up. And

40
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.400
I did this because I didn't know. I didn't know this. I don't

41
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:35.080
remember reading this on the web page, but since the web page didn't available

42
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.520
anymore, I don't I can't go
back and confirm or anything like that.

43
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.039
But if I get this, there
we go. Okay, So you see

44
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:47.039
right here, it contains the rack
Wireless starter kit board. It has its

45
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:52.759
own eighteen six fifty. I didn't
know if it came with its own battery,

46
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:55.000
but it does. It comes with
its own battery. It's obviously a

47
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:59.599
rechargeable battery because it's got this solar
panel wired directly into it. Okay,

48
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:04.560
solar panels here and then positive and
negative coming out going directly into the board

49
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.199
one of those little two pin connectors
there. That's cool. I've got it

50
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.960
plugged up right now to USB C. This is the USBC cable right here,

51
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.479
so it will charge via USB C
or will charge via solar. So

52
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.039
I always thought. I thought we
were talking on the live stream the other

53
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.120
night and somebody said something about a
biominal solar panel, and they're like,

54
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:25.800
well, this is like a this
is like a three volt I think system,

55
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:30.719
a three point four volt or something
like that. These eighteen six fifties

56
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:32.439
are three point seven volts, so
it's the three point seven volt system.

57
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:37.360
And of course USB C USB,
all the USBs are five volts. But

58
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:40.879
a lot of your bioinal solar panels
have USB output. So if you just

59
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:45.960
had an extra biominal solar panel laying
around and you wanted to take the USB

60
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:49.319
output out of the bioinno and plug
it into the USBC and set and lay

61
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:53.439
out the bioinal or hang it somewhere, you could totally charge this via USB

62
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.919
from a twelve volt solar panel.
You wouldn't have to get a specific three

63
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.479
point seven volt solar panel. PSUM, This is like a three point seven

64
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:03.680
or a special voltage solar panel that
goes into here. It does have a

65
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:08.000
built in charge controller according to the
website, so it's not going to overcharge

66
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:12.000
the battery or anything like that.
But you can't just throw twelve or fifteen

67
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:14.280
or nineteen volts into it because it's
not going to handle that. You have

68
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.959
to have a specialized solar panel point
But with a USBC connection, you could

69
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.839
totally use a biolino or anything else
that has USB output. Something for another

70
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:24.639
day, Maybe I like to open
it up because I got to see what

71
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:28.959
I have. Okay has its own
eighteen six fifty and I'm told these green

72
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.720
eighteen six fifties are made by Panasonic
or some of the green ones are made

73
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.600
by Panasonic, and those the best
ones to have. This guy right here,

74
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:38.439
which is what I have in my
TA beam in the truck right now.

75
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:44.600
This is this is just an Amazon
special rechargeable ninety nine hundred milliampower eighteen

76
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.240
six fifty. That's a lie that
these are not ninety nine hundred million empowers.

77
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.319
There's no way they might be two
to three thousand milli amp hours.

78
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:55.800
And my own personal experience is that
this little pillow battery's that too, called

79
00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:00.240
it three thousand milliamp hour pillow battery
actually lasts longer than this's eighteen six

80
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.720
fifty does. So I'll be curious
to see how well this one in the

81
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:09.800
in the rack device works. So
my main question was when we go to

82
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.519
the website here. Okay, so
we go right here and we see all

83
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:15.639
these We go to flasher dot mesh
tastic dot org and we see all of

84
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:19.720
these devices. Right here, there's
two rack devices listed. There's a Rack

85
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:25.079
eleven three ten and a Rack forty
six thirty one. I don't really know

86
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:28.600
which one this is because this one
doesn't have a screen and it doesn't tell

87
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:31.319
us anything. So which one of
these do I choose? And I don't

88
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.480
know what version of firm where it
has, because again it doesn't have a

89
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:38.120
screen on it. So this is
a question that I had did a quick

90
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:40.800
dull search. It was very easy
to find. No, not a big

91
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:43.720
deal at all. But basically,
if you look right here, you might

92
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.240
not be able to see that in
the camera. If you look right here,

93
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.000
that right there says it's upside down
in the camera. I realize that

94
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:55.079
right there on top of that it
says rack forty six thirty. Now forty

95
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.560
six thirty one is the one in
the website. This is forty six thirty

96
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.199
so pretty much those are probably this
forty six thirty one is probably an upgraded

97
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.120
version. Not a big deal.
But the other way you can do it

98
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:08.319
is to open up your app and
what you're connected here? Do it here.

99
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.319
These are all my mission tastic nodes
that I have around me, all

100
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:14.720
my personally owned nodes. It says
connected to rack forty six thirty one,

101
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:16.720
and it tells you the firmware version
right there, which is two dot three

102
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:21.680
dot six dot seven alpha thirty five
seventy alpha is what it says right there.

103
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:26.279
So it'll tell you what the what
the board is, and it'll tell

104
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:30.759
you what the current firmware version is. So great, so that means we

105
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.600
can go over here like this now
and we can say forty six thirty one,

106
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:38.319
okay, good, select firmware version, and the firmware versions that are

107
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:42.879
shown here is uh, the two
dot three dot six dot seven is right

108
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:46.120
here, thirty five seventy alpha,
and then the next one is two dot

109
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.399
three dot ten dot delta two dot
three dot ten and then a delta string

110
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:51.720
of numbers right now, and all
these are all the beta ones, So

111
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:56.519
I'm gonna choose that one. I'm
going to go to flash. It's gonna

112
00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:00.240
give me all of this stuff here
continue and it tells me to enter keure

113
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:04.480
do it see? This screen is
different depending on which Meshtastic radio device you

114
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:09.240
chose on the previous screen. So
right here it says enter DFU mode,

115
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.480
and I'm gonna pick which one it
is. You guys can't see that,

116
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.319
but it's got a little flasher window
that popped up, and it tells me

117
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.480
all the USB devices I've connected right
now, enter DFU mode. As soon

118
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:21.120
as I put it into DFU mode, it popped up this window and it's

119
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:27.360
basically mounted it as a drive now
because it shows three files inside of drive

120
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:32.079
E which is mounted on my on
my Windows box, as as as amountable

121
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:36.439
drive now and on this screen it
says ensured device is in DFU mode when

122
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:41.480
mounted. Okay, that's fine right
there. And then the drive may be

123
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:44.360
a different name depending on your device
and bootloader. You app that. They

124
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.480
just give it a sample right there
that's not exactly it. And then I

125
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:51.480
download this UF two downloading copy UF
two to the file DVU drive firmware should

126
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:56.759
be flashed after the file download and
device reboots. So what you do is

127
00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:59.959
you download this right here, okay, and then I open up this folder.

128
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.920
I grab it from my downloads file
and you guys can't see that,

129
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.160
but I'm gonna drag it over into
the window that popped up, which is

130
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:11.839
now amountable drive. So now I'm
dragging it over into the window that popped

131
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:16.160
up as amountable drive. And once
that's done, I will reboot the device

132
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.959
and it will auto load the firmer. There's several radios that work kind of

133
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.879
the same way, where you drag
a file into a folder and then you

134
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.639
reboot, it does its own kind
of firmer update thing. So that's that's

135
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.560
good there. In fact, it
looks okay, it finished, it went

136
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.200
away, the window went away,
okay, So that drive is no longer

137
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.519
mounted on my computer, so I
am waiting for it to do its thing.

138
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.919
Now we've got some flashing lights here. This light is red here,

139
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.440
this light is green here, and
you can see that, yeah, the

140
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.039
flashing. The green is flashing in
a non random sequence, and the red

141
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.960
light is kind of flickering. So
I'm gonna let it go and let it

142
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.000
do its thing here for just a
few minutes. Okay. As soon as

143
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:01.039
I dragged that file to the window
that was mounted that was a mounted drive,

144
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:05.039
I heard the USB tone for when
you pull the USB out of the

145
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:09.039
computer, where it says it's been
disconnected. I heard that tone, and

146
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.879
I watched it for a couple minutes, and I decided to open up the

147
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:16.240
app again because I never heard it
reconnect to the computer. But if I

148
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.519
open up the app right now,
it shows me that I am connected.

149
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.480
I'm still connected. Two point zero
rap is what I called this, and

150
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:28.480
it is two dot three dot ten, So our firmware successfully updated. I

151
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.960
didn't really do anything other than drag
that file over. It took care of

152
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.639
everything else on its own, So
that's that was easy enough. So now

153
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:41.000
we can go in here and I
can put the lid back on this thing

154
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:45.240
here, put this back on some
make sure at night gets nice and tightly

155
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.879
waterproof down in there. So I've
still got my USB cable plugged in here

156
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:52.080
in the back. I can pull
that out whenever. But I can see

157
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.799
my truck. My truck is sitting
in the driveway right now with an external

158
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:58.240
antenna in fact, I'm going to
do a video about the mesh Tastics set

159
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:03.759
up in my truck and talk about
the antenna that I use and the tbeam,

160
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.639
just kind of how it's been working
around town here for the last couple

161
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.000
weeks since I've returned home from Daytonham
mention. Now, while I'm putting this

162
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:15.840
back together, let me tell you
about pcbway dot com. They are sponsoring

163
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:20.000
this video. And if you go
out and want to buy a meshtastic device

164
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.679
and you want to get something three
D printed for it, you can head

165
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:28.600
over to pcbway dot com and you
can upload STIL files directly to their website

166
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:33.639
and you can get professional grade three
D printing of these files that will fit

167
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:39.000
almost perfectly your Meshtastic device, a
TBAM, a Helltech, one of the

168
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:43.440
rack wireless devices. You know,
there's a plythra of different devices out there

169
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.440
for Meshatastic these days, and you
can get them all printed at pcbwa dot

170
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:50.639
com. They do custom C and
C machine printing, custom circuit board printing

171
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:52.919
and all of the things. Head
over to their website you can see this.

172
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:58.279
I am going to upload some SDL
files myself and order them for a

173
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:01.960
couple of different meshtastic devices and get
them delivered myself. I'm going to buy

174
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.639
them. I'm gonna upload them.
I might do it on my wife's name

175
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.039
or something. I'm gonna upload them. I'm going to purchase them, pay

176
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:09.320
for them, get them shipped to
me, and then I'm gonna look and

177
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.960
see what it looks like, because
I don't want it in sending me something

178
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.159
special since they sponsored my channel,
which they probably wouldn't do anyway, but

179
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.320
just in case, just to make
sure there's no ambiguity to that, I'm

180
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.720
gonna get some three D printed cases
from PCB Way. But if you do

181
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:24.240
order from them, tell them thank
you for sponsoring him. Radio two point

182
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.200
zero. Okay, we've got this
all put back together. I've got this

183
00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:31.399
screwed down here, the solar panels
on there, This nice antenna that comes

184
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.480
with it is on there. Well. Two of the things I don't like

185
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.919
about this device right here is number
one. You can't really tell if it's

186
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.399
powered on or not. There's no
lights, there's no indicators. You can

187
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.879
look in this right here. You
can see a light in there. But

188
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.559
if you have this out and mounted
somewhere up on a pole or something like

189
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:50.879
that. This little plug comes with
it. So this plug comes with it

190
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:54.759
to keep water out of that hole. So it is truly a waterproof case

191
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.919
that is made to be mounted outside. So you can't really tell if it's

192
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:01.600
on or not. The only way
to do that is to connect to it

193
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.679
with the app on your phone or
tablet or device or something like that.

194
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.440
So I've got that connected right here. It hasn't updated the name. Well,

195
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:11.799
the name right here says two point
zero rack. It says that in

196
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:16.240
this field right here, but if
down here in the available radios, it

197
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.960
still says Meshtastic twenty eight to seventy
two. Incidentally, when I bought this

198
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:26.080
from the website, it already had
that firmware that you saw on there earlier

199
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:30.120
that was there. Some of these
hell tech devices come with another version of

200
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:33.879
Laura that's not Meshtastic that you have
to flash over. This came with actual

201
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:37.000
Meshtastic firmware. So Garth over there
on the ozetsi store, he's got this

202
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:41.080
ready to go for you. Basically, all you have to do is plug

203
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.480
it in, connect to it on
your phone, and go. But then

204
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.960
we're gonna look right here, and
I'm gonna see that's two point zero rack.

205
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.919
That's one of my heltechs. It's
inside case five HWBTV. That's my

206
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.679
truck and that is that's another heltech
that I have inside. So that's all

207
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:01.360
it's seeing right now. I don't
have mq t T turned on. I

208
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:05.480
probably will turn on Wi Fi so
that I can get a longer range because

209
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.440
you can control the device via Wi
Fi or via Bluetooth. If I put

210
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:11.919
it high enough up on my house, I won't be able to connect to

211
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:15.960
it with Bluetooth. It'll be out
of the range of Bluetooth. These are

212
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:20.080
messages that I had from him benchon. They transferred over since this is now

213
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:26.120
connected to my truck nodes. So
testing right there. See if it sends

214
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:28.240
it out. I was tekering around
with my Oh it did send you there

215
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:33.039
you go. I was tekering around
with my TRUCKNDE earlier and we've got a

216
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.240
lot of storms in the area right
now, and I could not get a

217
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:39.440
message to send in the long fast
room. But that just sent. So

218
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.679
perhaps somebody on the live stream the
other night said to pull down some fresh

219
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:48.639
nodes. You can send a message
to the main chat room, the long

220
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:50.840
fast chat room. Well, that's
what I just did. So once again,

221
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:54.559
this is going up on the house. I'm going to put it.

222
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:56.440
I've got a two story house.
My house is basically a big square,

223
00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:00.720
okay, so there's the downstairs and
the upstairs right on top of it,

224
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:03.399
so it's double stacked. Actually,
you got to have a really tall ladder

225
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:05.919
to get up on top of my
roof, which I had at one point,

226
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:07.759
and I had borrowed one at one
point in time, but I never

227
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.639
owned my own, so I can't
even get on my own roof right now.

228
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:13.720
But I got some friends who's a
ladder. I can borrow a ladder

229
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.960
or something. So I'm gonna get
up and put this like on top of

230
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.799
a chimney or maybe on a little
post. I'm actually looking at a new

231
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:26.639
roof mount tower to put my VHQ
hexbeam on. So hopefully all of that

232
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:31.559
will transpire soon this year, before
the weather gets too hot to get up

233
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.519
on top of a roof in the
middle of the summer. Interested to see

234
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:39.639
how far this will work, how
long this solar panel will last. I

235
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:41.440
will do a follow up video after
I put it on the roof. I

236
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:46.480
might wait like like probably a month
and kind of make some notes along the

237
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:50.840
way, how long the battery lasts, how well the solar panel works,

238
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:54.279
what kind of range I might be
getting. I'll drive out away from it

239
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.440
and try to get arrange to it, and whatnot. Because you could do

240
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:00.639
a trace route through the app to
see what you're seeing and whatnot. You're

241
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.279
gonna do a follow up to this
later on. Put a comment below,

242
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.120
let me know what mesh tastic device
you're using, how far of a range

243
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:09.039
you got. Have you got one
on your house? Have you got an

244
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:13.360
outdoor unit up somewhere? What is
it? Send me a link to it.

245
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.039
You won't be able to put a
link into the YouTube comments, those

246
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:18.080
of you who put links in euros
and the YouTube comments and then you never

247
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.399
see them show up. I have
that turned off to prevent spambots from coming

248
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:24.480
in there, so Nature the Beast. Sorry, there's nothing I can do

249
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:26.559
about that, But send me a
link, Send me an email with a

250
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:31.039
link of what external meshtastic device you
have in your home, and let me

251
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:33.759
know how well you like it and
how well it's working for you. If

252
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:37.320
you enjoyed this video about mesh Tastic, check out these videos over here.

253
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:37.759
Thanks a lot for watching today,
