Meshtastic Bot and channel

My little meshtastic BBS bot is running reasonably well. It is a node connected to a raspberry pi that serves up the Meshing Around software. Its basically an old type BBS with a few modern add on bits.

It has 2 ways to communicate. DM it and ask it stuff. start with cmd to get a list and go from there. Or use the newish scheduler to ineract with other users via a channel. Use the QR code below to join BBSBot channel on the phone app

Do many people use it Alex ? Ill still need to have a mess around with it at somepoint.

Just a few nerds for now. It’s just a bit of fun and easy to do if you’ve got a spare RPi zero kicking about

I need to gather up all of my nodes lol they are all over the place. Get them all updated and used.

There’s not a massive benefit as far as I can see with the newer firmware. I’m sure stuff has changed but its still quite a complex setup for what it is.

I’m struggling to upload an image (keeps spinning) but I’d made a little table top antenna that seems to be pretty good. Just a 5/8 wave vertical with 4 counterpoises made with a couple of SMA bulkhead connectors

Try another browser Alex for the image. Ive just tested this image and it seems to work
