Very sparse notes and photos from our fun field research experiment this afternoon. Thanks to Juul & Miguel for coordinating! We attracted some very curious and quickly excited passerby as well :) https://sudoroom.org/wiki/page/Mesh/18_April_2013 I will work to turn this into a blog post over the weekend. -------- Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://thepyre.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

Testing satellite dish links today

by Marc Juul

Just a reminder that those of us who are interested are meeting at 5 pm at sudo room today and heading down to lake merritt to see how far we can make a connection across the lake. We're using two satellite dishes mounted on small platforms, each equipped with an aiming device and a wifi usb adapter. The wifi usb adapters are 802.11b/g/n compatible and claim to be 1 watt: http://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Wireless-Network-Adapter-Antenna/dp/B006JWMO… So far they seem to at least be better than my laptops built in Intel wifi card. -- Marc

Seattle mesh group

by Marc Juul

I was talking a bit to the Seattle meshing group the other day, and they have some interesting info on their wiki: https://wiki.projectmeshnet.org/Software_Projects https://wiki.projectmeshnet.org/Projects https://wiki.projectmeshnet.org/Hardware I'm not sure I believe the claims of 15 km or 3-10 km. Maybe in a theoretical ideal situation, but definitely not in an urban setting. In any case, we should see how far two Ubiquiti Nanostations can link in an urban setting. Here are the Seattle meshers with a "hardware on a pole" setup: http://imgur.com/a/HAAZS -- Marc

Meeting Tonight, 8:30pm

by Jenny Ryan

Hey all you 510pen / meshfolk, We shall convene upon nightfall! 8:30-10pm at sudo room. Potential agenda items: -I'm starting to put together the grant application for OpenITP and would love your input: https://pad.riseup.net/p/510penITPapp -Testing the DirectTV satellite dishes that Miguel donated! Marc and I are going to pick up some wood + screws for mounting them. -Bill flashed the $28 router (Asus RT-N10+) with OLSR, so we can play with that too. Attached is a modular mesh wireless tile diagram made by some of the OTI folks that I think does a really great job at visualizing a mesh network :D Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://thepyre.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

Can't make the meeting tonight..

by Jenny Ryan

Hi all, My housemates and I are having an important house dinner tonight to meet a new potential housemate, so I won't be able to attend the meeting tonight :/ I've been working on the OpenITP grant for seed funding some equipment and would love if all/any who attend the meeting tonight could look it over, provide feedback, add to it, etc: https://pad.riseup.net/p/510penITPapp The deadline for submission is this Sunday! Alcides, we have an openmesh router at sudo room running the 510pen/OpenMesh firmware (batman-adv is the protocol). Bill has a linksys router running OLSR. Miguel also has a router he's been installing batman(?) on and was playing with the FunkFeuer firmware (also olsr i think). Mesh the planet!!
