In my excitment, I enlisted my son's help. I made sure neither Android device was connected to the internet; both using only Bluetooth to talk to the #LoRa devices.
He stayed with the #Hitec setup at the house. I walked down to our rural mailbox with the much lower power #RAK setup hanging from my shirt pocket.
The connection was solid there and back.🚀😆
I'm impressed; as the crow flies, separation was more than 160 meters. One unit was indoors. I was using the sub-optimal, omnidirectional antennas that came with the devices...
The #Meshtastic apps and firmware worked brilliantly; next steps are to learn more about configuration and encryption, and look into sending some #Cashu #eCash over the mesh.😆💖🎇
