Brilliant I’ve been looking for this video, I just ordered the same bit of kit but on the European frequencies for the U.K. I notice you didn’t have to install the serial drivers on your Mac . Hoping to get mine set up as quickly. If I get on ok I’d be tempted to get another and attach it to my kite that I used to use for aerial photography to see how far I could get . Looking forward to using it anyway . I’m in Peterborough U.K. .

Awesome idea. The uk crowbars really active and friendly. I’m sure you’ll make contact with someone. Yeah no drivers required for the Mac. Good luck. Come back let us know how you get on.

Awesome, have some on the way also in Australia - Gold Coast

@TheBeardandTheBald 3 місяці тому

Good luck when they come. I have a t-beam on the way next and some antennae so more videos coming in the next few weeks.

@Rick-gb5jj 3 місяці тому

Hey, we love learning new things. And this stuff is inexpensive enough to have a play with and learn as you go. Thanks for the comments, we really appreciate it.

@TheBeardandTheBald 3 місяці тому

my heltec won't show up on my comm port i did try another usb cable and browser,so i can not download?

@TheBeardandTheBald Місяць тому

So has to be a chrome base lid browser, so google chrome or I hear Microsoft edge is based on that. You windows or Mac? Windows may need drivers. So maybe try some more cables and see about drivers if your on windows mate. Good luck.

Step one, spend a minute or so trying to read "meshtastic" in that font

@TheBeardandTheBald 3 місяці тому

I know right!

@skunkworks1943 3 місяці тому

Good video but the background music is 400% too loud for people with headset or normal laptop speakers.

@TheBeardandTheBald 3 місяці тому

Noted, thanks for that. Will rewatch with headphones before posting in future. Cheers

@Seikatsu121 3 місяці тому

That seemed pretty easy. Though i cant decide between 433 mhz and 868 mhz

@TheBeardandTheBald 3 місяці тому

Depends where you are my friend, your government may have decided for you. Uk are on 868MHz we in Australia are on 915MHz. Some people are on 433MHz I believe. Where are you on the planet?

@Seikatsu121 3 місяці тому

@@TheBeardandTheBald I live in Germany so both 868 and 433 are options here

@TheBeardandTheBald 3 місяці тому

In which case, see if you find a local Facebook or internet group and join the frequency they're on so you have people to make contact with, or lead the pack, decide what's best for you and allow the rest to follow in your wake!. Good luck in your journey.
