Hello! To mark me appearing here, I want to share the repo for the two main projects I work on now:

  1. aethernode is a base-station unit for Reticulum LoRa networking
  1. aethermobi is a high-power mobile node - https://github.com/ahedproductions/aethermobi

Also on self-hosted git: https://git.aetherlab.org/explore/repos

✪ We host rns.sofia Propagation Node at 1e96a12e2ac59bfebd604a6e3cb95a68

✪ We host rns.sofia EchoBot at 37d955c0c87c4e0043d80dc18f67576a

✪ We host rns.sofia TCP at -rns.sofia- BackboneInterface IP: 193.193.182.147 Port: 4242 Transport Identity f28806251f4c62021da8e55c687107a4

✪ We run a LoRa network at Frequency: 438.15MHz BW: 125kHz SF: 9 CR: 7

As an RF/PCB Design professional I will be happy to share knowledge with the community. Bill, LZ1SWE fc84a309506a48d32b478cb1299dc351:/page/index.mu

Aethermobi, box is in the works, will share file for printing.

Added environmental sensors to the Aethernode. Hopefully they will provide useful data in multiple locations over the city. Both are I2C types. https://atlas-scientific.com/probes/ezo-hum-embedded-humidity-probe-plastic/

Box fits! Will print in ASA. :) I will share STEP files. IMG_20260512_191644_415.jpg IMG_20260512_180130_028.jpg

That is one powerful little brick! Looks good in black :)

It's great to see the progress of your projects, nice work!

Yesh! It feels heavy and dense, this one, in ASA it will be even more like this. The ability to have a good antenna with actual gain and real power, after all even with all those cell towers around you, your mobile's cellular modem is actually 1W or more, is crucial in urban areas, where one cannot place too many stationary nodes. This will give you oomph when you need it, keep you consumption very low, when you don't. The batteries will last for days even on 1W and moderate traffic. Setting the power on this one is done like this: image.png On the left is the value you put in Sideband, on the right - the output power you will get from the 30S modules.

Work can now be found on our self-hosted git: https://git.aetherlab.org/explore/repos Will decide on what happens to the GitHub repos soon.
