This is brilliant. Love the dry humor and the technical depth.

So basically, what you're saying is, essentially, this is superior to all Australian broadband?

Hi Marco. I have just discovered your videos - which are FASCINATING! The way you dismantle electronic devices and improve them is inspiring. Thank you for demystifying electronics for me!

That's actually really impressive, imagine the possibilities!

The technical detail upon which the dry humour was thrown in is absolutely brilliant! Liked! Subbed! Smashed the notification bell!

Wow really impressed how the quality and humor in this video improved, and really liked the Swiss Accent part. Great work!

I love the inserted humour. Thanks for putting this together. It really has me excited about the technology.

I always look forward to your uploads. And your puppies are always a bonus :)

2:30 Happy End toilet paper? Who said the Germans don't have a sense of humour ?

Andreas has competition ! Your voice is just as nice to hear. More on Lora please :)

Couldn’t help myself, I had to like and subscribe. This was interesting and entertaining at the same time. Great job.

This is great for farming applications, or a weather station on a mountain or something. Really cool! Greetings, Jeff

I love your videos! I just like and comment before even watching, I know they're gonna be good. Keep up the good work!

"Extended walkies" - I laughed! Thanks for the fantastic video!

Angry LED!

Amazing video Marco! :D

Great video ! Interesting ! A guy with a Swiss accent had already stimulated my curiosity, now this is even more challenging.

man your channel is a goldmine!

Brilliant video! I love the humor as well :)

And then a thunderstorm came and the angrie led flashed again

Welp, never thaught I'd see my Hometown on YT

Great video! And greets from Celle :)

This is amazing. I love it... I've already got ideas for this that would blow you away.... I can't wait to find one and buy it fast!!!!!!!!

Thank You. You explain its so well I can understand!

The ESP32 module you linked in the description mentions the SX1278 chip, this is the 137-525MHz radio, not usable for 868MHz. Look for SX1276 for the 868MHz band.

Amigo muito bom seu vídeo, pude observar que o sinal sofreu interferência quando atravessou as torres de transmissão de energia.

Great video as always

Amazing. I love your sense of humor ☺️🤣

Awesome demo.

excellent video.... thank you for sharing.

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!

This is one of the BEST videos on youtube. Thank you so much for making me laugh.

So funny! Thank you for the information. I had no idea this existed.

OMG BRO YOU ARE AWESOME!! THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR KINDNESS AND WISDOM --- I LOVE THIS!!! THANKS!!! I AM THINKING HELIUM BALLOON.....WEATHER BALLOON....OH BOY!!!!

Would love something like this as a transmitter working with a 'common codebook'. Data transmitted might be tiny, but if known conditions are in place between sender and receiver then that's not a problem. "One if by land, two if by sea", but scaled just a little.

i havent enjoyed a tech video like this in a while ;)

very impressive

Fantastic! Really amazing!

Another great video, thanks!

Great test in rural area. In the company where I work, we tested LoRaWAN (not over ESP32, just industrial modules electronically built by us) and we got covered 1.5 KM in a City area (City of Buenos Aires, south area with a few building with no more than 20 meters tall). We have installed the Antenna and the gateway Kerlink in the building's terrace with 25 meters tall. I forgot: the frequency we used to transmit is 915-928 MHz for LoRaWAN over the US Band. Yet we don't test it in a rural zone yet, but your video is a good reference to estimate a real distance for any prospect project.

3:25 absolutely :P and I had exactly that router as a kid! That said, my only connected computer was ethernet wire length away. I'm sure I would cry if I had to use G at ~2mbps again. Next time, try steel electrical conduit. It's stronger and you can screw pieces together firmly (as long as europe works the same way as the US and you can get this feature) and you can also use guy wires (steel cable).

2:32 "Happy End" toilet paper. Lol! Never seen that before.

Your scattered in dry humor makes this video gold.

2:35 It always makes me smile, seeing such a product being named „HappyEnd“ 😅

Nice video and nice product. 👍🤠

Thank you, that was a very nice video. Do you know when the MatchX Sensor would go on sale

I'm glad that when you were walking around in the dusk you didn't stub your toe on any wild capacitors.

Simply amazing

If that is a German humor, I'm pretty happy to have been learning German for some time now. And Kudos for the informativeness!

Omg I have been trying to tell people about this idea for years!! I want to buy one now..

Love your humor, and it makes my MBD brain remember what you talk about.😅👍

Very interesting experiment..

Wooowww thanks for this MatchX what a MASSIVE range... I didn't even know was possible... I'm very impressed just woowww!! Square tubing may be stronger but my best suggestion would be to tie the top of the tube to at least 3 or 4 points to the ground, that should stop the top from moving. Cool dogs hahaha... IOT POWAAAAAHHHH

Very excellent information

Nett, einer der besten UKpostsr wohnt in meiner Region :D Grüße aus Wolfsburg.

+Marco Reps Should meet +GreatScott

I am really impressed

Nice video, what type of range did you get for urban areas ?

One top rail of a chain link fence is surprisingly sturdy for 20 ft. I use one in KS winds for a 3x5 flagpole and the only support it at 7 ft.

< offtopic > Going to need you to make more videos. I've just binge watched all of yours. < /offtopic >

Control servo motors several miles away. This would be useful for radio controlled drones and aircraft to get long range. Although not enough bandwidth for FPV video.

Was machst du eigentlich beruflich?

Interesting. I have been wondering about something like that being available pre made. I'll have to keep an eye on it. Very interesting. Do you think it would work with external antennas like omnidirectional/panel antennas? Lol may be possible to use a yagi on a rotator that would track the unit based off the GPS coordinates it provides! If one could make it accurate enough, they could maybe get away with a parabolic antenna. Maybe it would work better if the tracking was based off Elevation and Long/Lat. I guess it depends on how quickly/often you could send and receive the data in a usable form to keep up. If the aim was off, the signal would drop when using the distance you get with that kind of long range, narrow beam antenna. A nice little yagi may be better for the job overall. Then again, it does have two antenna ports, so why not both?....prob a few reasons 🫥

Thank you for the great video. I like your accent and the humor. Do you think that the device could make a connection from a concrete celler with tubes to the third floor? Thank you.

I believe some company has set up a lorawan gateway here. Saves me some money

+Marco Reps what was the GPS module you/they used? Looked tiny.

Hi, may I know what kind of GPS chipset / module used on video? Thank you.

Pretty cool. I'm wondering what is the effect of data rates getting further from the gateway

Thx for the video...we think on using LoRa as the last Master Communication -Node in our nRF24Mesh. we managed to "mesh" several esp8266 with rf24...LoRaWan can finally broadCast this into the cloud...mmh here i´m swimming still...you show this GateWay...nice..but then again i will need a wlan router (hotSpot) ..our setup is planned to get used in areas without wlan and stuff..so it seem..if no router (e.g) is available i will need a GSM module trans-mitter...mmh..my learning curve on this need a booster..will read more on this "edge"..

Awesome video !!!!!

You can base64 encode straight from the terminal my friend. Nice vids!

It sure is Fricking Awesome!! :D

Cool video, keep it up, thanks :)

Extended walkies!!

Lol "Happy End" is a hilarious name for toilet paper!

youre amazing man

Show. Eu utilizo em monitoramento de estações metereologicas.

Can LORA be used for controlling a wireless RC car? Is it a reliable option for sending the control signals?

Hi, great video but you never did an update for your dog or showed if adding mesh nodes or how to send commands to servos get simpler :) please do an update and cover mixing lora devices and can they all use meshtastic

I am trying to find something like this for a software engineering class project to create a requirements document for a low cost smart farming information system. Thank you for this video!

aluminium tube on the roof... what about lightning ? :)

Hei Kann ich damit mein Wlan verstärken und im Nachbardorf empfangen ? Wird die Bandbreite einigermaßen in Ordnung sein?

Would this be good for a diy home security system?

2:34 Never seen "Happy End" toilet paper. Can you review it please? I might buy some in the near future.

Kann man es als normales wlan zur einigermaßen guten datenübetragung verwenden? Und kann man es umbennen

this is awesome we could build our own wireless internet network

totally new to me but how would hills and non level land effect it?

Moin moin du macht tolle Videos und dein Englisch ist kultig.. Grüße aus Wolfsburg in Richtung Celle...

LOL LORA WAN! ANY DESI WOULD LOVE THIS!

just imagine trying this thing out during a storm when a blizzard hits your 5-minute-antenna^^ cool technology though

Oh ich bin Funkamateur und ich habe NICHT über dein Antennensetup gelacht, ich weiss nur zu gut wie es ist wenn man was unbedingt probieren möchte, danke für das tolle Video, Grüße aus Baden-Baden

Thanks for sharing :-)

3:48 5:18 Cool dogs. Are they West Highland Terriers? I'd be very interested in a long range dog tracker.

Really nice! :)

do you have update on this? im looking for "wifi receiver " so i can connect free from the mall which is 200-350meters away can you recommend device for that? or new video?

Reminds by the looks about the Ubiquiti airMAX Rocket. And the PoE brick looks identical

"Happy End"? What a name!

ground breaking invention

Do you know if this tech will work in the USA and any other countries?

from HAM radio, if you want a quick/light mast just buy a cheap telescopic fibreglass fishing pole (get one a couple of metre longer than you want as you throw away the two thinnest sections as they are too thin/flexible). You can sometimes get them reduced as end of line in the German discount grocers.
