Next came a different kind of radio: LoRa mesh, two networks of it, a command gateway, and an assistant you can reach from a handheld.https://n0de73.com/blog/command-control-over-mqtt/Thu, 08 Oct 2026 17:00:00 -0700https://n0de73.com/blog/command-control-over-mqtt/Reaching a home station from the field when there’s no RF path. Direct LoRa failed because the local mesh is sparse, so the command gateway was bridged to MQTT and answered over the internet, on an encrypted channel, with no infrastructure in between.https://n0de73.com/blog/where-am-i/Thu, 08 Oct 2026 11:30:00 -0700https://n0de73.com/blog/where-am-i/A field command that answers location from the node’s own GPS: grid square, nearest town, and the distance and bearing back to the station. Plus the wrong-grid bug a cross-check caught.https://n0de73.com/blog/bridging-two-meshes/Thu, 08 Oct 2026 10:30:00 -0700https://n0de73.com/blog/bridging-two-meshes/Relaying chat between Meshtastic and MeshCore at the station, so an operator on one network can talk to an operator on the other. Each line is tagged with where it came from, and the relay is built so it can’t loop.https://n0de73.com/blog/pocket-elmer-on-the-mesh/Thu, 08 Oct 2026 09:00:00 -0700https://n0de73.com/blog/pocket-elmer-on-the-mesh/An intelligent assistant you can reach from a LoRa handheld with no internet at the radio. Send a short question on a private mesh channel and a one-line answer comes back, routed through the station. A pocket elmer.https://n0de73.com/blog/one-pi-every-mode/Wed, 07 Oct 2026 20:00:00 -0700https://n0de73.com/blog/one-pi-every-mode/A single Raspberry Pi that ties together most of the ways a ham station talks: analog and digital voice, two mesh networks, packet, and email over radio. One box, bridged, that keeps working whether the internet is up or not.https://n0de73.com/blog/field-command-gateway/Wed, 07 Oct 2026 12:00:00 -0700https://n0de73.com/blog/field-command-gateway/A small bot on the station that answers short commands sent from the field over LoRa mesh or APRS: weather, grid, a situation report, nearby repeaters, a callsign lookup. One dispatcher, several radios, a private channel for the keys.
