<hr />
<div>Congratulations on choosing to become part of a People's Open Network! This is a walkthrough for flashing a node (a home router) with the SudoMesh's sudowrt-firmware (a custom build of OpenWRT) and then configuring it with makenode (a custom javascript tool developed by SudoMesh). At the end of the walkthrough, you'll be able to plug in your router and join the mesh. The walkthrough assumes you're using a linux-ish OS (mac OSX should work also) and that you have [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal basic knowledge of the terminal]. The general idea of building your own mesh node consists of three steps, [[#Download/Build|downloading or compiling]] custom firmware, [[#Flash/Upload|flashing that firmware]] to the node (i.e. copying firmware to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory flash memory]), and [[#makenode/Configure|configuring the node]] to function as part of a mesh (with a software tool such as makenode).<br />
<br />
Before you flash your router, it is recommended that you read the [[Home and extender nodes#Home_nodes|home node info]] to find out the router works as a mesh node.<br />
<br />
= Download/Build =<br />
<br />
Now that you have a node, you will probably want to learn how to flash it with the latest sudowrt-firmware. The first step is to download the firmware image file for your supported router. <br />
<br />
At the moment, we are supporting the following routers:<br />
<br />

|-<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Builds for other routers can be found on our [https://builds.sudomesh.org/builds/sudowrt/fledgling/0.2.0/ar71xx/ builds server], though there is no guarantee the firmware will work with any given router.<br />
<br />
Alternatively, you can build your own copy of the firmware images by following the guide in the [https://github.com/sudomesh/sudowrt-firmware sudowrt-firmware source].<br />
<br />
If you do not want to use a SudoMesh's OpenWRT image, you can also install [https://downloads.openwrt.org/ a standard OpenWRT] release and configure it from scratch.<br />
<br />
= Flash/Upload =<br />
<br />
Once you have a copy of the sudowrt-firmware intended for your router, you can proceed with flashing it to your router. There are different techniques for flashing each of the routers. Use the links above to the OpenWRT wiki and follow the instructions there to flash the router with the firmware you've downloaded.<br />
<br />
For convenience, if you have a Western Digital MyNet N600 or N750, follow these instructions:<br />
<br />
== Reset your new N750/N600 router ==<br />
* Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into your laptop.<br />
* Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into one of the normal ports (LAN) on the router (not the Internet/WAN port).<br />
* With the router plugged in and power turned off, push a pin into the reset hole and hold it.<br />
* With the pin held down, turn on the router power button.<br />
* Watch the front blue light - they will flash on and off a few times.<br />
* Once the front blue is flashing, you can let go of the pin.<br />
<br />
== Configure your computer's network settings ==<br />
On your laptop edit your network settings to reflect the following:<br />
<br />
* Network Manager Method: Manual<br />
* IP Address: 192.168.1.10 (some devices will only accept from this IP)<br />
* Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0<br />
* Gateway: 0.0.0.0 (Or leave blank)<br />
<br />
You can also use the commands:<br />
sudo ip link set <eth_interface> down <br />
sudo ip addr add 192.168.1.10/24 dev <eth_interface> <br />
sudo ip link set <eth_interface> up<br />
<br />
where <eth_interface> is the name of your ethernet interface found using `ip addr` (common names include eth0, enp3s0, ...)<br />
<br />
See Network Configuration Guides: [[Mesh/Network%20Configuration%20for%20Linux | Linux]], [[Mesh/Network%20Configuration%20for%20MacOS%20X | Mac]]<br />
<br />
== Upload sudowrt-firmware ==<br />
In your web browser:<br />
<br />
* Go to [http://192.168.1.1 http://192.168.1.1], if the reset was successful, you should see the following page:<br />
[[File:Screenshot from 2017-04-04 18-27-09.png|thumb|center|upright=2]]<br />
* Click 'Browse' and select the firmware file you downloaded<br />
* Click Upload and you will be taken to an exciting countdown timer:<br />
[[File:Screenshot from 2017-04-02 17-20-51.png|thumb|center|upright=2]]<br />
<br />
Note: Sometimes the firmware upload will not complete. After you click on 'Upload' You should get a page with a countdown of 120+ seconds. If this does not occur, reboot the router with the pin reset button depressed (as noted above), and try again.<br />
<br />
<br />
= makenode/Configure =<br />
After flashing sudowrt-firmware to your router you will need to configure it work on a People's Open Network.<br />
<br />
== Reconfigure your computer's network settings ==<br />
A freshly flashed node automatically sets its IP address to 172.22.0.1. You will need to configure your laptop to use the following network settings to communicate with the node.<br />
<br />
* IP address: 172.22.0.10 <br />
* Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0<br />
* Gateway: 0.0.0.0<br />
<br />
Or use the commands<br />
sudo ip link set <eth_interface> down <br />
sudo ip addr add 172.22.0.10/24 dev <eth_interface> <br />
sudo ip link set <eth_interface> up<br />
<br />
where <eth_interface> is the name of your ethernet interface found using `ip addr` (common names include eth0, enp3s0, ...)<br />
<br />
See Network Configuration Guides: [https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Network%20Configuration%20for%20Linux Linux] [https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Network%20Configuration%20for%20MacOS%20X Mac]<br />
<br />
To test that the flashing was successful, feel free to try connecting to your unconfigured router by opening a browser and navigating to http://172.22.0.1<br />
if the flash was successfull you should be brought to the following screen:<br />
<br />
[[File:Peoplesopen-dash.png|thumb|center|upright=2]]<br />
<br />
After you have successfully flashed your router with OpenWRT, you will need to use [https://github.com/sudomesh/makenode makenode] to complete the setup. makenode registers your node on the peoplesopen network, resulting in the assignment of a 64 IPv4 address subnet to your node, in addition to applying basic configuration.<br />
<br />
== Preparing your laptop for makenode ==<br />
<br />
You will need to install the dependencies for [https://github.com/sudomesh/makenode makenode].<br />
<br />
=== Linux ===<br />
<br />
If you are working with a fresh installation of one of the operating systems listed in the compatibility checklist, you will need to install a few pieces of software. <br />
To install them, open your terminal and enter the following commands.<br />
<br />
sudo apt update<br />
sudo apt install curl git dropbear<br />
curl -o- ht<span>tps://</span>raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.2/install.sh | bash<br />
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm" # or you can close and reopen your terminal before using nvm<br />
nvm install 7.10<br />
<br />
==== OS Compatibility checklist ====<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! OS !! Compatible !! Link to ISO !! Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Ubuntu 16.04 LTS || yes || http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/ ||<br />
|-<br />
| Ubuntu 14.04 LTS || please verify || http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ ||<br />
|-<br />
| Debian 9.3 Stretch || yes || https://www.debian.org/distrib/ ||<br />
|-<br />
| Debian 8.1 Jessie || yes || https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/debian-installer/ ||<br />
|-<br />
| Arch Linux || yes || https://www.archlinux.org/download/ || you may have to build dropbear from [https://github.com/mkj/dropbear source]<br />
|-<br />
|}<br />
<br />
=== Mac ===<br />
<br />
Install the [http://brew.sh/ Homebrew] package manager, then install the required binaries.<br />
<br />
brew install nodejs<br />
brew install git<br />
brew install npm<br />
brew install dropbear<br />
brew install gnu-tar<br />
brew install fakeroot<br />
brew install iproute2mac<br />
<br />
=== Windows 10 (Experimental)===<br />
<br />
'''Note: Windows is not currently recommened for setting up a node due to Dropbear not supporting Windows. What follows is instructions for Windows Subsytem for Linux.'''<br />
<br />
Due to Dropbear requirements your best bet is to use [[Windows Subsystem for Linux]] (WSL) and follow the instructions for Linux with additional instructions to get WSL set up. Follow the instructions for [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10 installing] WSL on your Windows 10 PC. For now Ubuntu has been tested and appears to work. SUSE and other WSL flavors have not been tested.<br />
<br />
Once WSL is installed. Install dependencies (assuming Ubuntu).<br />
<br />
sudo apt update<br />
sudo apt install python<br />
sudo apt install make<br />
sudo apt install build-essential<br />
<br />
WSL doesn't fully support SYSV IPC so fakeroot needs to be rebuilt using tcp.<br />
<br />
sudo update-alternatives --set fakeroot /usr/bin/fakeroot-tcp<br />
<br />
Replace 'node-uuid' with 'uuid'<br />
<br />
npm uninstall --save node-uuid<br />
npm install --save uuid<br />
<br />
Follow Linux [[Mesh/WalkThrough#Linux | instructions]] for installing Dropbear and dependencies.<br />
<br />
== Install and run makenode ==<br />
<br />
From your terminal, run the following:<br />
<br />
git clone https://github.com/sudomesh/makenode.git<br />
cd makenode<br />
npm install<br />
cp settings.js.example settings.js<br />
<br />
The default settings in <tt>settings.js</tt> should suffice in most cases, but if you need to make changes, do them in <tt>settings.js</tt>. <br />
<br />
Make sure the Ethernet cable is connected to the 4th port on the router.<br />
<br />
Once your network configuration is refreshed, use the following command to run the script and configure your node:<br />
<br />
./makenode.js<br />
<br />
Now the configuration wizard will ask you a number of questions:<br />
<br />
* "enter valid hostname" - name of the box, will only be seen when you SSH into the router - For info on what constitutes a valid hostname, see: [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3523028/valid-characters-of-a-hostname valid characters of a hostname]<br />
* "max share upstream bandwidth" - how much of your home network upstream bandwidth you wish to share with the mesh network, measured in kbps (kilobits per second). So if you'd like to share 10mbps (megabits per second) enter "10000" or if you want to share 256kbps (kilobits per second) enter "256". You may want to run a [http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest speed test] to find out how much bandwidth you have and determine how much you want to share.<br />
* "max share downstream bandwidth" - how much of your home network upstream bandwidth you wish to share with the mesh network - eg. "512" would share 512 kbps<br />
* "admin user password" - used to log into the admin dashboard where you can modify some settings at http://172.22.0.1 (if on wired connection) or http://172.30.0.1 (if on private wifi network)<br />
* "root user password" - used to SSH into the router so you modify files and manually configure your router. Make sure that your root password is strong! If you don't enter a root password, a strong one will be generated and will be logged to screen. It's generally preferable to not use the root password at all and instead add an ssh key to the device, ssh keys are stored in /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys.<br />
* "wifi transmit power" - set this to 23 dBm (which is equivalent to 200 milliwatts)<br />
* "private wifi SSID" - name of the private wireless network that can be used to administer this router. It will be publicly visible so pick something amusing or descriptive.<br />
* "private wifi password" - password for the private wireless network named in the previous step. It's the one you'll want to give to friends, so come up with something amusing or memorable. Note: it must be at least 8 characters long.<br />
* "operator name" - name that the network admins can associate with the node - so use a unique name like your first name or location name<br />
* "Operator email" - email that network admis can contact you at<br />
* "Expected node address (optional)" - address location of node<br />
<br />
= Testing =<br />
<br />
After you're finished with the makenode configuration, your home node should be available for connections via your private WiFi SSID. Additionally the public SSID 'peoplesopen.net' will be available. <br />
<br />
A third interface named 'pplsopen.net-node2node' will be detectable as well. This is the interface used for the nodes to mesh with each other.<br />
<br />
At this point you're setup. For more information on using your node, such as accessing the web-based management interface, see [[Home and extender nodes#Home_nodes|Home node info]]<br />
<br />
For more technical details on the internals of the home node, see the [[Mesh/Technical_Overview]]<br />
<br />
For more in depth testing procedures, see our [https://github.com/sudomesh/babeld-lab/blob/master/operator_manual.md mesh node operator's manual].<br />
<br />
= Troubleshooting =<br />
You may need to replace the `node-uuid` module with `uuid` for makenode to work, to fix this using the following commands:<br />
<br />
npm uninstall --save node-uuid<br />
npm install --save uuid<br />
<br />
If you get the error "no such file or directory", open a new terminal and run this command to ensure that <tt>node</tt> points to your NodeJS executable:<br />
<br />
sudo ln -s nodejs node<br />
<br />
In the new terminal, return to the 'makenode' source code directory and try again:<br />
<br />
npm install<br />
./makenode.js<br />
<br />
= Flashing Extender Nodes =<br />
<br />
If you would like to make long distance point-to-point connections between two or more home nodes, you'll want to setup an extender node (a roof mounted antenna).<br />

== Downgrading to earlier AirOS ==<br />
<br />
Anything with version 5.6 of AirOS and above needs to be downgraded to an earlier AirOS version before you can flash it with OpenWRT. If you don't know if you need to do this then proceed to the next section (Flash the Extender Node) and come back here if you get an error saying "Firmware check failed".<br />
<br />
If you get this error DO NOT try to flash sudowrt/openwrt through the AirOS web interface. It will succeed and you will be stuck with a partially working system (all changes lost on every reboot) and no easy way to get it fully working.<br />
<br />
The solution is to use the built-in AirOS web UI to upload a version 5.5 of AirOS. This will downgrade the bootloader to a point where it's compatible with sudowrt/openwrt. Here's how:<br />
<br />
* Download the [http://home.pilsfree.net/morce/Firmware/UBNT/XW.v5.5.10.bin v5.5 AirOS firmware]<br />
* Configure your wired ethernet interface to use IP: 192.168.1.10, subnet: 255.255.255.0<br />
* Plug one Ethernet cable into your laptop on one end and into the "LAN" port of the power-over-ethernet power supply on the other end.<br />
* Plug another Ethernet cable into your node/router on one end and into the "POE" port of the power-over-ethernet power supply on the other end.<br />
* Power on the router.<br />
* Wait for a couple of minutes.<br />
* Ensure you're not connected to a wifi network that has an 192.168.1.x IP range. Disconnect/disable your wifi if you're unsure.<br />
* In your browser go to http://192.168.1.20<br />
* Log in using the credentials username: ubnt and password: ubnt<br />
* Click the "System" tab.<br />
* Click the "Browse" button next to the "Upload Firmware" box<br />
* Select the XW.v5.5.10.bin file that you downloaded earlier.<br />
* Click "Upload".<br />
* After uploading you will be asked if you want to upgrade/install the firmware. Click yes/accept.<br />
* Let the router finish flashing and wait for it to fully reboot before proceeding to flash sudowrt as described in the next section.<br />
<br />
== Flash the Extender Node ==<br />
<br />
* Configure your wired ethernet interface to use IP: 192.168.1.10, subnet: 255.255.255.0<br />
* Plug one Ethernet cable into your laptop on one end and into the "LAN" port of the power-over-ethernet power supply on the other end.<br />
* Plug another Ethernet cable into your node/router on one end and into the "POE" port of the power-over-ethernet power supply on the other end.<br />
* Push a pin into the reset hole and hold it.<br />
* With the pin held down, plug in the power to the power-over-ethernet power supply.<br />
* Watch the lights on the antenna - they will all flash together a few times, then they will flash up and down.<br />
* Once the lights on the antenna are flashing up and down, you can let go of the pin.<br />
<br />
You should be able to ping the extender at 192.168.1.20.<br />
<br />
$ ping 192.168.1.20<br />
PING 192.168.1.20 (192.168.1.20) 56(84) bytes of data.<br />
64 bytes from 192.168.1.20: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.54 ms<br />

<br />
In your Linux terminal, type:<br />
<br />
git clone https://github.com/sudomesh/ubi-flasher<br />
cd ubi-flasher<br />
npm install<br />
./flasher.js '<path to firmware>'<br />
<br />
The terminal will tell you "The firmware has been successfully sent to the router. In a few seconds, the router should begin flashing its four status LEDs sweeping from left to right, then right to left (or up down, down up). This means that the router is flashing itself with the new firmware. Once the router goes back to having only the power LED lit, the router has been successfully flashed."<br />
<br />
Wait until the antenna has only the power LED lit and you're done.<br />
<br />
Reconfigure your machine with the following static network configuration.<br />
<br />
* IP Address: 172.22.0.10<br />
* Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0<br />
* Gateway: 0.0.0.0<br />

<br />
If you ping the extender node on 172.22.0.2 and it responds, it should be ready to connect to your home node on the appropriate wired Ethernet port.<br />
<br />

== Troubleshooting ==<br />
<br />
=== USB to Serial Connection ===<br />
<br />
If you experience trouble flashing your device via the web interface, or via the TFTP image upload method, you'll want to establish a serial connection to troubleshoot further. Methods for flashing your device involving a serial connection may become more common as devices adopt configurations to lock down [http://www.networkworld.com/article/3038722/mobile-wireless/manufacturers-start-to-lock-down-wi-fi-router-firmware-thanks-fcc.html wi-fi router firmware] to prevent flashing.<br />
<br />
The following notes describe steps to interface with a Nanostation M5 (NSM5) via the serial interface. <br />
<br />
==== Order a USB to Serial Converter ====<br />
<br />
USB to serial converter devices exist at a cost of $4 - $8 online, with much lower pricing and longer delivery times if ordered from China. Search for "USB to UART TTL", including "5 pin" in the search. Make sure the specifications do not mention anything other than 3.3 volts.<br />
<br />
Mac OS X users may need to install a device driver for their device. For example, for devices using the CP210X chip, you can download the [https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx#mac CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Driver], which is made available as <tt>/dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART</tt>.<br />
<br />
==== Connecting to Serial ====<br />
<br />
You will need to connect the following pins from the converter to the pins on the device.<br />
<br />
* Ground (GND)<br />
* Serial Out (Transmit / TX)<br />
* Serial In (Receive / RX)<br />
<br />
Begin by connecting the Ground of the converter to the Ground of the device. Next connect the Transmit/TX of the converter to the Receive/RX of the device, then connect the Receive/RX of the converter to the Transmit/TX of the device.<br />
<br />
Nanostation M5 (NSM5) Example:<br />
<br />

<br />
[[File:Ubiquity-NSM5-serial-connectors.jpg|400px|Ubiquiti Nanostation NSM5 - Serial pins with connections]]<br />
<br />
==== Serial Communications Program ====<br />
<br />
You need to install a serial communication program. Linux users can use Minicom.<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install minicom<br />
<br />
Mac OS X users can as well<br />
<br />
brew install minicom<br />
<br />
By default the Minicom program will attempt to use /dev/tty8, and will also attempt to initialize the device (expecting a modem) by default.<br />
<br />
$ minicom<br />

<br />
Run the program so that it starts the program on the USB converter that is connected by adding <tt>-D /dev/ttyUSB0</tt>, and specify that it should skip initialization by adding <tt>-o</tt>. Mac users may need to reference a different device (such as <tt>/dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART</tt>).<br />
<br />
You can also specify from the command line that it use the baud rate and '8N1' settings specified below by including <tt>-b 115200 -8</tt>.<br />
<br />
sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -o -b 115200 -8<br />
<br />
In Minicom, CTRL-A to get settings, then Press O, to access settings. Mac users will need to discover the proper META key to use with their Terminal program. iTerm uses the 'ESC' key.<br />
<br />
Go to Serial Port Setup, use these settings:<br />
<br />
* Set the serial device (should be /dev/tty/USB0)<br />
* Baud Rate (Bits Per Second): 115200<br />
* Settings '8N1' (short hand for 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit)<br />
* Turn off hardware and software flow control<br />
<br />
Reboot the device, and it will let you drop into a command line. You will then have to figure out how to enable the network from the boot loader (Uboot or Redboot) and transfer the firmware to the device to flash it.<br />
<br />
==== Interupting Boot ====<br />
<br />
The device will not detect the key you press unless Minicom is configured properly.<br />

==== Firmware check failure ====<br />
<br />
Flashing the Nanostation M5 (FCC ID: SWX-NSM5D) using the TFTP rescue mode will result in a Firmware check failure error.<br />
<br />
If you attempt to flash the extender and receive a 'Firmware check failed' error, then you have a version of the NSM5 that is protected from being flashed via the default TFTP method. You will need to obtain a serial to USB interface (USB to UART TTL Module Serial Converter, 5 pin) and use it to flash the firmware.<br />

===== Running TFTPd =====<br />

Although U-Boot can support two protocols for transfering files, kermit or y-modem, the bootloader does not support the <tt>loadb</tt> or <tt>loady</tt>. Minicom only supports y-modem protocol.<br />
<br />
We do not have to resort to a direct serial file transfer however. The 'mtdparts' command that is used to define flash memory partitions can be used to reset the partition table to the defaults before running 'urescue' to start the TFTP server.<br />

<br />
== Downgrading to earlier AirOS ==<br />
<br />
Anything with version 5.6 of AirOS and above needs to be downgraded to an earlier AirOS version before you can flash it with OpenWRT. If you don't know if you need to do this then proceed to the next section (Flash the Extender Node) and come back here if you get an error saying "Firmware check failed".<br />
<br />
If you get this error DO NOT try to flash sudowrt/openwrt through the AirOS web interface. It will succeed and you will be stuck with a partially working system (all changes lost on every reboot) and no easy way to get it fully working.<br />
<br />
The solution is to use the built-in AirOS web UI to upload a version 5.5 of AirOS. This will downgrade the bootloader to a point where it's compatible with sudowrt/openwrt. Here's how:<br />
<br />
* Download the [http://home.pilsfree.net/morce/Firmware/UBNT/XW.v5.5.10.bin v5.5 AirOS firmware]<br />
* Configure your wired ethernet interface to use IP: 192.168.1.10, subnet: 255.255.255.0<br />
* Plug one Ethernet cable into your laptop on one end and into the "LAN" port of the power-over-ethernet power supply on the other end.<br />
* Plug another Ethernet cable into your node/router on one end and into the "POE" port of the power-over-ethernet power supply on the other end.<br />
* Power on the router.<br />
* Wait for a couple of minutes.<br />
* Ensure you're not connected to a wifi network that has an 192.168.1.x IP range. Disconnect/disable your wifi if you're unsure.<br />
* In your browser go to http://192.168.1.20<br />
* Log in using the credentials username: ubnt and password: ubnt<br />
* Click the "System" tab.<br />
* Click the "Browse" button next to the "Upload Firmware" box<br />
* Select the XW.v5.5.10.bin file that you downloaded earlier.<br />
* Click "Upload".<br />
* After uploading you will be asked if you want to upgrade/install the firmware. Click yes/accept.<br />
* Let the router finish flashing and wait for it to fully reboot before proceeding to flash sudowrt as described in the next section.<br />
<br />
== Flash the Extender Node ==<br />
<br />
* Configure your wired ethernet interface to use IP: 192.168.1.10, subnet: 255.255.255.0<br />
* Plug one Ethernet cable into your laptop on one end and into the "LAN" port of the power-over-ethernet power supply on the other end.<br />
* Plug another Ethernet cable into your node/router on one end and into the "POE" port of the power-over-ethernet power supply on the other end.<br />
* Push a pin into the reset hole and hold it.<br />
* With the pin held down, plug in the power to the power-over-ethernet power supply.<br />
* Watch the lights on the antenna - they will all flash together a few times, then they will flash up and down.<br />
* Once the lights on the antenna are flashing up and down, you can let go of the pin.<br />
<br />

== Troubleshooting ==<br />
<br />
=== USB to Serial Connection ===<br />
<br />
If you experience trouble flashing your device via the web interface, or via the TFTP image upload method, you'll want to establish a serial connection to troubleshoot further. Methods for flashing your device involving a serial connection may become more common as devices adopt configurations to lock down [http://www.networkworld.com/article/3038722/mobile-wireless/manufacturers-start-to-lock-down-wi-fi-router-firmware-thanks-fcc.html wi-fi router firmware] to prevent flashing.<br />
<br />
The following notes describe steps to interface with a Nanostation M5 (NSM5) via the serial interface. <br />
<br />
==== Order a USB to Serial Converter ====<br />
<br />
USB to serial converter devices exist at a cost of $4 - $8 online, with much lower pricing and longer delivery times if ordered from China. Search for "USB to UART TTL", including "5 pin" in the search. Make sure the specifications do not mention anything other than 3.3 volts.<br />
<br />
Mac OS X users may need to install a device driver for their device. For example, for devices using the CP210X chip, you can download the [https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx#mac CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Driver], which is made available as <tt>/dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART</tt>.<br />
<br />
==== Connecting to Serial ====<br />
<br />
You will need to connect the following pins from the converter to the pins on the device.<br />
<br />
* Ground (GND)<br />
* Serial Out (Transmit / TX)<br />
* Serial In (Receive / RX)<br />
<br />
Begin by connecting the Ground of the converter to the Ground of the device. Next connect the Transmit/TX of the converter to the Receive/RX of the device, then connect the Receive/RX of the converter to the Transmit/TX of the device.<br />
<br />
Nanostation M5 (NSM5) Example:<br />

<br />
[[File:Ubiquity-NSM5-serial-connectors.jpg|400px|Ubiquiti Nanostation NSM5 - Serial pins with connections]]<br />
<br />
==== Serial Communications Program ====<br />
<br />
You need to install a serial communication program. Linux users can use Minicom.<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install minicom<br />
<br />
Mac OS X users can as well<br />
<br />
brew install minicom<br />
<br />
By default the Minicom program will attempt to use /dev/tty8, and will also attempt to initialize the device (expecting a modem) by default.<br />
<br />
$ minicom<br />
minicom: cannot open /dev/tty8: Permission denied<br />
<br />
Run the program so that it starts the program on the USB converter that is connected by adding <tt>-D /dev/ttyUSB0</tt>, and specify that it should skip initialization by adding <tt>-o</tt>. Mac users may need to reference a different device (such as <tt>/dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART</tt>).<br />
<br />
You can also specify from the command line that it use the baud rate and '8N1' settings specified below by including <tt>-b 115200 -8</tt>.<br />
<br />
sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -o -b 115200 -8<br />
<br />
In Minicom, CTRL-A to get settings, then Press O, to access settings. Mac users will need to discover the proper META key to use with their Terminal program. iTerm uses the 'ESC' key.<br />
<br />
Go to Serial Port Setup, use these settings:<br />
<br />
* Set the serial device (should be /dev/tty/USB0)<br />
* Baud Rate (Bits Per Second): 115200<br />
* Settings '8N1' (short hand for 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit)<br />
* Turn off hardware and software flow control<br />
<br />
Reboot the device, and it will let you drop into a command line. You will then have to figure out how to enable the network from the boot loader (Uboot or Redboot) and transfer the firmware to the device to flash it.<br />
<br />
==== Interupting Boot ====<br />
<br />
The device will not detect the key you press unless Minicom is configured properly.<br />
<br />
* To access the Help screen, Press CTRL-A, then press Z.<br />
* To access the configuration/settings, press CTRL-A, then press O.<br />
<br />
From the configuration window, select to view the 'Serial port setup'<br />
<br />
$ sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -o -b 115200 -8<br />
Welcome to minicom 2.7<br />

<br />
By default the Hardware Flow Control will be enabled. Press 'F' to disable Hardware Flow Control. Press ENTER to exit the Serial port setup window, and then select EXIT to go back to the program.<br />
<br />
At this point plug in the Ethernet cable to the 'Main' Ethernet port, with the other end connected to the 'POE' port on the Power Over Ethernet adapter that came with the device. As the device boots up, you'll see output similar to the following.<br />
<br />
You'll need to make sure to press a key before it boots the default image.<br />

==== Firmware check failure ====<br />
<br />
Flashing the Nanostation M5 (FCC ID: SWX-NSM5D) using the TFTP rescue mode will result in a Firmware check failure error.<br />
<br />
If you attempt to flash the extender and receive a 'Firmware check failed' error, then you have a version of the NSM5 that is protected from being flashed via the default TFTP method. You will need to obtain a serial to USB interface (USB to UART TTL Module Serial Converter, 5 pin) and use it to flash the firmware.<br />

===== Running TFTPd =====<br />

Although U-Boot can support two protocols for transfering files, kermit or y-modem, the bootloader does not support the <tt>loadb</tt> or <tt>loady</tt>. Minicom only supports y-modem protocol.<br />
<br />
We do not have to resort to a direct serial file transfer however. The 'mtdparts' command that is used to define flash memory partitions can be used to reset the partition table to the defaults before running 'urescue' to start the TFTP server.<br />

<br />
== Downgrading to earlier AirOS ==<br />
<br />
Anything with version 5.6 of AirOS and above needs to be downgraded to an earlier AirOS version before you can flash it with OpenWRT. If you don't know if you need to do this then proceed to the next section (Flash the Extender Node) and come back here if you get an error saying "Firmware check failed".<br />
<br />
If you get this error DO NOT try to flash sudowrt/openwrt through the AirOS web interface. It will succeed and you will be stuck with a partially working system (all changes lost on every reboot) and no easy way to get it fully working.<br />
<br />
The solution is to use the built-in AirOS web UI to upload a version 5.5 of AirOS. This will downgrade the bootloader to a point where it's compatible with sudowrt/openwrt. Here's how:<br />
<br />
* Download the [http://home.pilsfree.net/morce/Firmware/UBNT/XW.v5.5.10.bin v5.5 AirOS firmware]<br />
* Configure your wired ethernet interface to use IP: 192.168.1.10, subnet: 255.255.255.0<br />
* Plug one Ethernet cable into your laptop on one end and into the "LAN" port of the power-over-ethernet power supply on the other end.<br />
* Plug another Ethernet cable into your node/router on one end and into the "POE" port of the power-over-ethernet power supply on the other end.<br />
* Power on the router.<br />
* Wait for a couple of minutes.<br />
* Ensure you're not connected to a wifi network that has an 192.168.1.x IP range. Disconnect/disable your wifi if you're unsure.<br />
* In your browser go to http://192.168.1.20<br />
* Log in using the credentials username: ubnt and password: ubnt<br />
* Click the "System" tab.<br />
* Click the "Browse" button next to the "Upload Firmware" box<br />
* Select the XW.v5.5.10.bin file that you downloaded earlier.<br />
* Click "Upload".<br />
* After uploading you will be asked if you want to upgrade/install the firmware. Click yes/accept.<br />
* Let the router finish flashing and wait for it to fully reboot before proceeding to flash sudowrt as described in the next section.<br />
<br />
== Flash the Extender Node ==<br />
<br />
* Configure your wired ethernet interface to use IP: 192.168.1.10, subnet: 255.255.255.0<br />
* Plug one Ethernet cable into your laptop on one end and into the "LAN" port of the power-over-ethernet power supply on the other end.<br />
* Plug another Ethernet cable into your node/router on one end and into the "POE" port of the power-over-ethernet power supply on the other end.<br />
* Push a pin into the reset hole and hold it.<br />
* With the pin held down, plug in the power to the power-over-ethernet power supply.<br />
* Watch the lights on the antenna - they will all flash together a few times, then they will flash up and down.<br />
* Once the lights on the antenna are flashing up and down, you can let go of the pin.<br />
<br />
You should be able to ping the extender at 192.168.1.20.<br />
<br />

== Troubleshooting ==<br />
<br />
=== USB to Serial Connection ===<br />
<br />
If you experience trouble flashing your device via the web interface, or via the TFTP image upload method, you'll want to establish a serial connection to troubleshoot further. Methods for flashing your device involving a serial connection may become more common as devices adopt configurations to lock down [http://www.networkworld.com/article/3038722/mobile-wireless/manufacturers-start-to-lock-down-wi-fi-router-firmware-thanks-fcc.html wi-fi router firmware] to prevent flashing.<br />
<br />
The following notes describe steps to interface with a Nanostation M5 (NSM5) via the serial interface. <br />
<br />
==== Order a USB to Serial Converter ====<br />
<br />
USB to serial converter devices exist at a cost of $4 - $8 online, with much lower pricing and longer delivery times if ordered from China. Search for "USB to UART TTL", including "5 pin" in the search. Make sure the specifications do not mention anything other than 3.3 volts.<br />
<br />
Mac OS X users may need to install a device driver for their device. For example, for devices using the CP210X chip, you can download the [https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx#mac CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Driver], which is made available as <tt>/dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART</tt>.<br />
<br />
==== Connecting to Serial ====<br />
<br />
You will need to connect the following pins from the converter to the pins on the device.<br />
<br />
* Ground (GND)<br />
* Serial Out (Transmit / TX)<br />
* Serial In (Receive / RX)<br />
<br />
Begin by connecting the Ground of the converter to the Ground of the device. Next connect the Transmit/TX of the converter to the Receive/RX of the device, then connect the Receive/RX of the converter to the Transmit/TX of the device.<br />
<br />

<br />
[[File:Ubiquity-NSM5-serial-connectors.jpg|400px|Ubiquiti Nanostation NSM5 - Serial pins with connections]]<br />
<br />
==== Serial Communications Program ====<br />
<br />
You need to install a serial communication program. Linux users can use Minicom.<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install minicom<br />
<br />
Mac OS X users can as well<br />
<br />
brew install minicom<br />
<br />
By default the Minicom program will attempt to use /dev/tty8, and will also attempt to initialize the device (expecting a modem) by default.<br />
<br />
$ minicom<br />
minicom: cannot open /dev/tty8: Permission denied<br />
<br />
Run the program so that it starts the program on the USB converter that is connected by adding <tt>-D /dev/ttyUSB0</tt>, and specify that it should skip initialization by adding <tt>-o</tt>. Mac users may need to reference a different device (such as <tt>/dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART</tt>).<br />
<br />
You can also specify from the command line that it use the baud rate and '8N1' settings specified below by including <tt>-b 115200 -8</tt>.<br />
<br />
sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -o -b 115200 -8<br />
<br />
In Minicom, CTRL-A to get settings, then Press O, to access settings. Mac users will need to discover the proper META key to use with their Terminal program. iTerm uses the 'ESC' key.<br />
<br />
Go to Serial Port Setup, use these settings:<br />
<br />
* Set the serial device (should be /dev/tty/USB0)<br />
* Baud Rate (Bits Per Second): 115200<br />
* Settings '8N1' (short hand for 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit)<br />
* Turn off hardware and software flow control<br />
<br />
Reboot the device, and it will let you drop into a command line. You will then have to figure out how to enable the network from the boot loader (Uboot or Redboot) and transfer the firmware to the device to flash it.<br />
<br />
==== Interupting Boot ====<br />
<br />
The device will not detect the key you press unless Minicom is configured properly.<br />
<br />
* To access the Help screen, Press CTRL-A, then press Z.<br />
* To access the configuration/settings, press CTRL-A, then press O.<br />
<br />
From the configuration window, select to view the 'Serial port setup'<br />
<br />
$ sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -o -b 115200 -8<br />
Welcome to minicom 2.7<br />
<br />

<br />
By default the Hardware Flow Control will be enabled. Press 'F' to disable Hardware Flow Control. Press ENTER to exit the Serial port setup window, and then select EXIT to go back to the program.<br />
<br />
At this point plug in the Ethernet cable to the 'Main' Ethernet port, with the other end connected to the 'POE' port on the Power Over Ethernet adapter that came with the device. As the device boots up, you'll see output similar to the following.<br />
<br />
You'll need to make sure to press a key before it boots the default image.<br />

<br />
Flashing the Nanostation M5 (FCC ID: SWX-NSM5D) using the TFTP rescue mode will result in a Firmware check failure error.<br />
<br />
If you attempt to flash the extender and receive a 'Firmware check failed' error, then you have a version of the NSM5 that is protected from being flashed via the default TFTP method. You will need to obtain a serial to USB interface (USB to UART TTL Module Serial Converter, 5 pin) and use it to flash the firmware.<br />

<div>This a walkthrough for flashing a node with the sudomesh firmware and then configuring it with makenode. At the end of the walkthrough, you'll be able to plug in your router and join the mesh. The walkthrough assumes you're using a linux-ish (OSX should mostly work) OS and that you have [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal basic knowledge of the terminal]. The basic idea of getting a node (router) on the mesh consists of flashing (copying files to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory flash memory]) an operating system to the node and then using a software configurator finish setup.<br />
<br />
If you do not want to use a per-compiled OpenWRT image, you can build your own from scratch using this how to: [[Mesh/Build An OpenWRT Image]]<br />
<br />
Before you flash your router it is recommended that you read the [[Home and extender nodes#Home_nodes|Home node info]] to find out the router works as a mesh node.<br />
<br />
= Preparing Your Laptop =<br />
<br />
You will need to install the dependencies for the [https://github.com/sudomesh/makenode makenode] utility developed by the SudoMesh project.<br />
<br />
== Linux ==<br />
<br />
If you are working with a fresh installation of Ubuntu Linux, you will need to install a few pieces of software. <br />
To install them, open your terminal and type the following commands.<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install nodejs ([https://github.com/creationix/nvm nvm] is preferable for installing nodejs and npm)<br />
sudo apt-get install npm<br />
sudo apt-get install git<br />
sudo apt-get install dropbear<br />
<br />
(arch also works, though you may have to build dropbear from its [https://github.com/mkj/dropbear source])<br />
<br />
== Mac ==<br />
<br />
Install the [http://brew.sh/ Homebrew] package manager, then install the required binaries.<br />
<br />
brew install nodejs<br />
brew install git<br />
brew install npm<br />
brew install dropbear<br />
brew install gnu-tar<br />
brew install fakeroot<br />
<br />
== Windows ==<br />
<br />
For the moment, Windows users will have to figure out some of these steps on their own. Completing this process from a Windows machine has not been tested.<br />
<br />
* Install [https://nodejs.org/en/download/ NodeJS ] - Make sure to install the 'npm package manager', and select to 'Add to Path'<br />
* Install [https://git-scm.com/download/win Git]<br />
* Install Dropbear (no known ports for Windows)<br />

<br />
== Flash your Router with OpenWRT ==<br />
<br />
There are different techniques for flashing each of the routers. Use the links above to the OpenWRT wiki and follow the instructions there to flash the router with the firmware you've downloaded.<br />
<br />
For example, if you have a Western Digital MyNet N600, follow these instructions:<br />
<br />
* Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into your laptop.<br />
* Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into one of the normal ports on the router (not the Internet/WAN port).<br />
* With the router plugged in and power turned off, push a pin into the reset hole and hold it.<br />
* With the pin held down, turn on the router power button.<br />
* Watch the front blue light - they will flash on and off a few times.<br />
* Once the front blue is flashing, you can let go of the pin.<br />
<br />
On your laptop edit your network settings to reflect the following:<br />
<br />
* Network Configuration Method: Manual<br />
* IP Address: 192.168.1.10 (some devices will only accept from this IP)<br />
* Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0<br />
* Gateway: 0.0.0.0<br />
<br />
See Network Configuration Guides: [https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Network%20Configuration%20for%20Linux Linux] [https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Network%20Configuration%20for%20MacOS%20X Mac]<br />
<br />
In your web browser:<br />
<br />
* Go to [http://192.168.1.1 http://192.168.1.1]<br />
* Click 'Browse' and select the firmware file you downloaded<br />
* Click Install<br />
<br />
Note: Sometimes the firmware upload will not complete. After you click on 'Install' You should get a page with a countdown of 120+ seconds. If this does not occur, reboot the router with the pin reset button depressed (as noted above), and try again.<br />
<br />
= Configuring Your OpenWRT Router to Work on the Sudomesh Network =<br />
<br />
A freshly flashed node will be setup on 172.22.0.1. You will need to configure your machine to use the following network settings to communicate with the node.<br />
<br />
* IP address: 172.22.0.9 <br />
* Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0<br />
* Gateway: 0.0.0.0<br />
<br />
See Network Configuration Guides: [https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Network%20Configuration%20for%20Linux Linux] [https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Network%20Configuration%20for%20MacOS%20X Mac]<br />
<br />
To test that the flashing was successful, feel free to try connecting to your unconfigured router by opening a browser and navigating to https://172.22.0.1<br />
if the flash was successfull you should be brought to the following screen:<br />
<br />
[[File:DefaultUI.png|thumb|center|upright=2]]<br />
<br />
After you have successfully flashed your router with OpenWRT, you will need to use [https://github.com/sudomesh/makenode makenode] to complete the setup. makenode registers your node on the SudoMesh network, resulting in the assignment of a 64 IPv4 address subnet to your node, in addition to applying basic configuration.<br />
<br />
From your terminal, run the following:<br />
<br />
git clone https://github.com/sudomesh/makenode.git<br />
cd makenode<br />
npm install<br />
cp settings.js.example settings.js<br />
<br />
The default settings in <tt>settings.js</tt> should suffice in most cases, but if you need to make changes, do them in <tt>settings.js</tt>. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Configuring the Home Node ==<br />
<br />
Make sure the Ethernet cable is connected to the 4th port on the router.<br />
<br />
Once your network configuration is refreshed, use the following command to run the script and configure your node:<br />
<br />
./makenode.js<br />
<br />
If you get the error "no such file or directory", open a new terminal and run this command to ensure that <tt>node</tt> points to your NodeJS executable:<br />
<br />
sudo ln -s nodejs node<br />
<br />
In the new terminal, return to the 'makenode' source code directory and try again:<br />
<br />
npm install<br />
./makenode.js<br />
<br />
Now the configuration wizard will ask you a number of questions:<br />
<br />
* "enter valid hostname" - this is the host name when you SSH into the node - For info on what constitutes a valid hostname, see: [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3523028/valid-characters-of-a-hostname valid characters of a hostname]<br />
* "max share upstream bandwidth" - how much of your home network upstream bandwidth you wish to share with the mesh network, measured in kbps (kilobits per second). So if you'd like to share 10mbps (megabits per second) enter "10000" or if you want to share 256kbps (kilobytes per second) enter "256". You may want to run a [http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest speed test] to find out how much bandwidth you have and determine how much you want to share.<br />
* "max share downstream bandwidth" - how much of your home network upstream bandwidth you wish to share with the mesh network - eg. "512" would share 512 kbps<br />
* "admin user password" - this is the password for for changing wifi settings on the node<br />
* "root user password" - this is the root password for the router - Make sure that your root password is strong! If you don't enter a root password, a strong one will be generated and will be logged to screen. It's generally preferable to not use the root password at all and instead add an ssh key to the device - see details below.<br />
* "wifi transmit power" - set this to 23 dBm (which is equivalent to 200 milliwatts)<br />
* "operator name" - this is the name that the network admins can associate with the node - so use a unique name like your first name or location name<br />
* "private wifi SSID" - this is the wireless SSID name for the private wireless network that will run on this router<br />
* "private wifi password" - this is the password for the private wireless network that will run on this router - it must be at least 8 characters long<br />
<br />
== Testing ==<br />
<br />
After you're finished with the makenode configuration, your home node should be available for connections via your private WiFi SSID. Additionally the public SSID 'peoplesopen.net' will be available. <br />
<br />
A third interface named 'pplsopen.net-node2node' will be detectable as well. This is the interface used for the nodes to mesh with each other.<br />
<br />
At this point you're setup. For more information on using your node, such as accessing the web-based management interface, see [[Home and extender nodes#Home_nodes|Home node info]]<br />
<br />
For more technical details on the internals of the home node, see the [[Mesh/Technical_Overview]]<br />
<br />
= Flashing Extender Nodes =<br />
<br />
If you're wanting to optionally boost the signal of your home node for a larger range, you'll want to setup an extender antenna.<br />

= T-shirts / Clothing =<br />
<br />
== T-shirt manufacturers ==<br />
<br />
All of the research done so far has been focused only on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_apparel American Apparel] t-shirts. Most, if not all, or the big custom t-shirt companies offer these shirts. They are more expensive, but so far it is the best bet for insuring that workers and the environment are treated reasonably. If anyone knows of other clothing companies with ethics whose clothes are available through a custom t-shirt company, then please add to this wiki!<br />
<br />
:Here are some fair trade, worker-owned cooperatives I came across recently:<br />
:*[http://www.justshirts.ca JustShirts] - Shirts are produced by the Cooperative of Single Mothers of El Salvador<br />

<br />
== Printing types ==<br />
<br />
These are the commonly available cloth printing types:<br />
<br />
=== Digital printing ===<br />
<br />
Basically inkjet printing directly onto cloth. The results can vary depending on the skill of the printing machine operator and the quality control. This method can print any image, even photographs, onto cloth. The borders and contrasts will often be less sharp than with other methods. This method is usually available even for orders of a single t-shirt.<br />
<br />
Most of the big custom t-shirt shops offer this type of printing.<br />
<br />
=== Screen printing ===<br />
<br />
Also referred to as ''silk screen printing''. This method is usually only available for bulk orders. A "silk screen" is first created which functions somewhat like a big stamp, transferring ink onto the cloth. This results in extremely sharp lines and good contrast, but the number of colors is limited. Good for vector graphics with few colors. Cannot be used for photographs. This is usually not available for one-off orders, only for bulk orders.<br />
<br />
Most of the big custom t-shirt shops offer this type of printing.<br />
<br />
=== "Iron-on" printing ===<br />
<br />
Pieces of vinyl or vinyl-like substance are cut out into shapes that are then pressed onto cloth and heated. This creates an extremely sturdy print, with many of the same advantages and disadvantages of screen printing. One downside is that the cloth becomes stiff and sometimes more uncomfortable to wear, in the the areas with print. The durability of this type of printing is much better than screen or digital printing. Some claim that these types of print usually outlast the t-shirt.<br />
<br />
The only company we've found that offers this type of printing is [http://spreadshirt.com SpreadShirt]. They call this type of printing ''flex printing''. They do offer this type of printing for one-off orders and fullfilment orders, but their prices are significantly higher.<br />
<br />
== Ways of ordering/selling t-shirts ==<br />
<br />
=== Fulfillment ===<br />
<br />
You set up your own storefront on a t-shirt company's website and specify how much on top of the base price of a product you want to add. People then go to your store and order the t-shirt. The t-shirt company takes care of everything, and you don't have to do anything after setting up your storefront except maybe marketing. E.g. you can create a t-shirt that costs $24 for the t-shirt company to produce and sell it for $30, making $6 for yourself for every sale.<br />
<br />
Usually only digital printing is available for fulfillment orders.<br />
<br />
=== Bulk order ===<br />
<br />
You order some amount of t-shirts. The t-shirts are sent directly to you. You then have to re-sell the t-shirts to the end user and ship them yourself. You can save a lot of money doing this, since the t-shirts are generally almost half the price if you order bulk (e.g. 20 or more).<br />
<br />
=== Fundraising campaign ===<br />
<br />
This is like a kickstarter campaign, where you set a goal for how many t-shirts you want to sell, and the more you sell the more profit you get. The t-shirts are all printed in a batch at the end of the campaign and we don't have to deal with shipping. The company ships the t-shirts directly to the individual buyers. The difference from kickstarter is that you don't have to reach your goal, you just have to get above 10 purchased t-shirts before the fundraiser end date. You then get money based on how many t-shirts were sold.<br />
<br />
The only company we've found so far that does this is [https://campaign.customink.com/ CutomInk].<br />
<br />
== Comparison of prices and services ==<br />
<br />
So far we've looked at the following custom clothing companies:<br />
<br />
*[http://cafepress.com CafePress]<br />
*[http://customink.com CustomInk]<br />
*[http://spreadshirt.com SpreadShirt]<br />
*[http://bluecotton.com BlueCotton]<br />
*[http://zazzle.com Zazzle]<br />
<br />
=== Comparing small bulk orders of screen printed shirts ===<br />
<br />
CafePress only offers digital printing for t-shirts.<br />
<br />
Pricing for one order of 5x small, 5x medium, 5x large and 5x x-large, with a single-color logo design and different-colored text, using screen printing on an American Apparel men's jersey t-shirt:<br />
<br />
customink.com: $14.77 per shirt (free two-week delivery)<br />
bluecotton.com: $14.36 per shirt (free two-week delivery)<br />
zazzle.com: $14.68 per shirt (free two-week delivery)<br />
spreadshirt.com: $32.60 per shirt (free two-week delivery), flex printing, not screen printing<br />
<br />
=== Limitations concerning small bulk orders of screen printed shirts ===<br />
<br />
It looks like CafePress' color choices for american apparel t-shirts are limited to [http://www.cafepress.com/cp/customize/product2.aspx?number=593424147 a snippet of the pastel rainbow].<br />
<br />
The customink tool to allow you to select which colors to use in your uploaded vector graphics file is buggy to the point of being useless. This may be something we can find a way around though. It could be that it works in other browsers (attempted in firefox latest stable).<br />
<br />
bluecotton allows only eps files and bitmap formats, and they recommend using png files. When I tried uploading an eps file, it complained that the image dimensions were too large, which makes no kind of sense for vector formats. This leads me to believe that they actually convert the eps files to bitmaps and don't support vector files at all! Very odd for screen printing, since I can't imagine a screen printing machine that uses bitmaps.<br />
<br />
zazzle _does_ allow the use of multiple colors per design file, though they get a frowny face :-( for not accepting svg files (they do accept pdf and eps and ai).<br />
<br />
spreadshirt is just too expensive.<br />
<br />
=== Best choice for screen printed bulk orders ===<br />
<br />
The best choice for us is Zazzle. CustomInk would be a worthy competitor if it didn't have the color selection bug.<br />
<br />
=== Best choice for digital printed fulfillment orders ===<br />
<br />
We'll make a lot less money using fulfillment, but we won't have to ship anything. The base price on zazzle.com per American Apparel t-shirt is less than $22, and the base price on cafepress.com is $23. Bluecotton and customink don't do fulfillment and spreadshirt is too expensive. As mentioned, cafepress has a kinda poor color selection for American Apparel too.<br />
<br />

For a two-color design on american apparel t-shirt we could do either of the following:<br />
<br />
Sell for $12 per t-shirt, goal of 50 shirts, profit if we sell 50: $7<br />
<br />
Sell for $25 per t-shirt, goal of 50 shirts, profit if we sell 50: $642<br />
<br />
At those prices, I'm assuming that they buyer has to pay for shipping, but I haven't checked.</div>Willhttps://sudoroom.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Mesh/Swag&diff=10498Mesh/Swag2017-03-07T19:02:46Z<p>Will: /* Cards */</p>

= T-shirts / Clothing =<br />
<br />
== T-shirt manufacturers ==<br />
<br />
All of the research done so far has been focused only on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_apparel American Apparel] t-shirts. Most, if not all, or the big custom t-shirt companies offer these shirts. They are more expensive, but so far it is the best bet for insuring that workers and the environment are treated reasonably. If anyone knows of other clothing companies with ethics whose clothes are available through a custom t-shirt company, then please add to this wiki!<br />
<br />
:Here are some fair trade, worker-owned cooperatives I came across recently:<br />
:*[http://www.justshirts.ca JustShirts] - Shirts are produced by the Cooperative of Single Mothers of El Salvador<br />
:*[http://www.zonafrancamasili.com/ Zona Franca Masili] - Shirts produced by a worker-owned sewing house in Nicaragua.<br />

<br />
== Printing types ==<br />
<br />
These are the commonly available cloth printing types:<br />
<br />
=== Digital printing ===<br />
<br />
Basically inkjet printing directly onto cloth. The results can vary depending on the skill of the printing machine operator and the quality control. This method can print any image, even photographs, onto cloth. The borders and contrasts will often be less sharp than with other methods. This method is usually available even for orders of a single t-shirt.<br />
<br />
Most of the big custom t-shirt shops offer this type of printing.<br />
<br />
=== Screen printing ===<br />
<br />
Also referred to as ''silk screen printing''. This method is usually only available for bulk orders. A "silk screen" is first created which functions somewhat like a big stamp, transferring ink onto the cloth. This results in extremely sharp lines and good contrast, but the number of colors is limited. Good for vector graphics with few colors. Cannot be used for photographs. This is usually not available for one-off orders, only for bulk orders.<br />
<br />
Most of the big custom t-shirt shops offer this type of printing.<br />
<br />
=== "Iron-on" printing ===<br />
<br />
Pieces of vinyl or vinyl-like substance are cut out into shapes that are then pressed onto cloth and heated. This creates an extremely sturdy print, with many of the same advantages and disadvantages of screen printing. One downside is that the cloth becomes stiff and sometimes more uncomfortable to wear, in the the areas with print. The durability of this type of printing is much better than screen or digital printing. Some claim that these types of print usually outlast the t-shirt.<br />
<br />
The only company we've found that offers this type of printing is [http://spreadshirt.com SpreadShirt]. They call this type of printing ''flex printing''. They do offer this type of printing for one-off orders and fullfilment orders, but their prices are significantly higher.<br />
<br />
== Ways of ordering/selling t-shirts ==<br />
<br />
=== Fulfillment ===<br />
<br />
You set up your own storefront on a t-shirt company's website and specify how much on top of the base price of a product you want to add. People then go to your store and order the t-shirt. The t-shirt company takes care of everything, and you don't have to do anything after setting up your storefront except maybe marketing. E.g. you can create a t-shirt that costs $24 for the t-shirt company to produce and sell it for $30, making $6 for yourself for every sale.<br />
<br />
Usually only digital printing is available for fulfillment orders.<br />
<br />
=== Bulk order ===<br />
<br />
You order some amount of t-shirts. The t-shirts are sent directly to you. You then have to re-sell the t-shirts to the end user and ship them yourself. You can save a lot of money doing this, since the t-shirts are generally almost half the price if you order bulk (e.g. 20 or more).<br />
<br />
=== Fundraising campaign ===<br />
<br />
This is like a kickstarter campaign, where you set a goal for how many t-shirts you want to sell, and the more you sell the more profit you get. The t-shirts are all printed in a batch at the end of the campaign and we don't have to deal with shipping. The company ships the t-shirts directly to the individual buyers. The difference from kickstarter is that you don't have to reach your goal, you just have to get above 10 purchased t-shirts before the fundraiser end date. You then get money based on how many t-shirts were sold.<br />
<br />
The only company we've found so far that does this is [https://campaign.customink.com/ CutomInk].<br />
<br />
== Comparison of prices and services ==<br />
<br />
So far we've looked at the following custom clothing companies:<br />
<br />
*[http://cafepress.com CafePress]<br />
*[http://customink.com CustomInk]<br />
*[http://spreadshirt.com SpreadShirt]<br />
*[http://bluecotton.com BlueCotton]<br />
*[http://zazzle.com Zazzle]<br />
<br />
=== Comparing small bulk orders of screen printed shirts ===<br />
<br />
CafePress only offers digital printing for t-shirts.<br />
<br />
Pricing for one order of 5x small, 5x medium, 5x large and 5x x-large, with a single-color logo design and different-colored text, using screen printing on an American Apparel men's jersey t-shirt:<br />
<br />
customink.com: $14.77 per shirt (free two-week delivery)<br />
bluecotton.com: $14.36 per shirt (free two-week delivery)<br />
zazzle.com: $14.68 per shirt (free two-week delivery)<br />
spreadshirt.com: $32.60 per shirt (free two-week delivery), flex printing, not screen printing<br />
<br />
=== Limitations concerning small bulk orders of screen printed shirts ===<br />
<br />
It looks like CafePress' color choices for american apparel t-shirts are limited to [http://www.cafepress.com/cp/customize/product2.aspx?number=593424147 a snippet of the pastel rainbow].<br />
<br />
The customink tool to allow you to select which colors to use in your uploaded vector graphics file is buggy to the point of being useless. This may be something we can find a way around though. It could be that it works in other browsers (attempted in firefox latest stable).<br />
<br />
bluecotton allows only eps files and bitmap formats, and they recommend using png files. When I tried uploading an eps file, it complained that the image dimensions were too large, which makes no kind of sense for vector formats. This leads me to believe that they actually convert the eps files to bitmaps and don't support vector files at all! Very odd for screen printing, since I can't imagine a screen printing machine that uses bitmaps.<br />
<br />
zazzle _does_ allow the use of multiple colors per design file, though they get a frowny face :-( for not accepting svg files (they do accept pdf and eps and ai).<br />
<br />
spreadshirt is just too expensive.<br />
<br />
=== Best choice for screen printed bulk orders ===<br />
<br />
The best choice for us is Zazzle. CustomInk would be a worthy competitor if it didn't have the color selection bug.<br />
<br />
=== Best choice for digital printed fulfillment orders ===<br />
<br />
We'll make a lot less money using fulfillment, but we won't have to ship anything. The base price on zazzle.com per American Apparel t-shirt is less than $22, and the base price on cafepress.com is $23. Bluecotton and customink don't do fulfillment and spreadshirt is too expensive. As mentioned, cafepress has a kinda poor color selection for American Apparel too.<br />
<br />
This makes Zazzle our best choice for fulfullment orders as well.<br />
<br />
=== Using CustomInk's fundraising campaign ===<br />
<br />
If the color selection bug can be sorted out, then this is a great option!<br />
<br />
For a two-color design on american apparel t-shirt we could do either of the following:<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>This a walkthrough for flashing a node with the sudomesh firmware and then configuring it with makenode. At the end of the walkthrough, you'll be able to plug in your router and join the mesh. The walkthrough assumes you're using a linux-ish (OSX should mostly work) OS and that you have [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal basic knowledge of the terminal]. The basic idea of getting a node (router) on the mesh consists of flashing (copying files to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory flash memory]) an operating system to the node and then using a software configurator finish setup .<br />
<br />
If you do not want to use a per-compiled OpenWRT image, you can build your own from scratch using this how to: [[Mesh/Build An OpenWRT Image]]<br />
<br />
Before you flash your router it is recommended that you read the [[Home and extender nodes#Home_nodes|Home node info]] to find out the router works as a mesh node.<br />
<br />
= Preparing Your Laptop = <br />
<br />
The directions that follow assume you are running a UNIX-like distribution (Linux or Mac OSX should work). Many of the quoted commands listed below may need `sudo` prepended to them. For the moment, Windows users will have to figure out some of these steps on their own. Sorry :/<br />
<br />
If you are working with a fresh installation of Ubuntu Linux, you will need to install a few pieces of software. Do install them, open your terminal and type the following:<br />
<br />
sudo apt-get install nodejs<br />
sudo apt-get install git<br />
sudo apt-get install npm<br />
sudo apt-get install dropbear<br />
<br />
= Install OpenWRT on your Router =<br />
<br />
== Download the Sudomesh OpenWRT Image File For a Supported Router ==<br />
<br />
Sudomesh firmware images can be found at [https://builds.sudomesh.org/builds/chaos_calmer/ar71xx/ https://builds.sudomesh.org/builds/chaos_calmer/ar71xx/]<br />
<br />
At the moment, we are supporting the following routers for home nodes:<br />

<br />
Download the image file for your supported router.<br />
<br />
== Flash your Router with OpenWRT ==<br />
There are different techniques for flashing each of the routers. Use the links above to the openwrt wiki and follow the instructions there to flash the router with the firmware you've downloaded.<br />
<br />
For example, if you have a Western Digital MyNet N600, follow these instructions:<br />
<br />
* Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into your laptop.<br />
* Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into one of the normal ports on the router (not the Internet/WAN port).<br />
* With the router plugged in and power turned off, push a pin into the reset hole and hold it.<br />
* With the pin held down, turn on the router power button.<br />
* Watch the front blue light - they will flash on and off a few times.<br />
* Once the front blue is flashing, you can let go of the pin.<br />
<br />
On your laptop (instructions for Ubuntu) edit your network settings by doing the following:<br />
<br />
* Click on the network icon on the top right of the toolbar.<br />
* Click "Edit connections..."<br />
* Click on Ethernet connection "Wired connection 1" and click Edit<br />
* Click on the "IPv4 Settings" tab<br />
* Change method to "Manual"<br />
* Click Add<br />
* Under "Address" type "192.168.1.10"<br />
* Under "Netmask" type "255.255.255.0"<br />
* Under "Gateway" type "0.0.0.0"<br />
* Click Save<br />
* Click Close<br />
<br />
In your web browser:<br />
<br />
* Go to "192.168.1.1"<br />
* Click Browse and select the firmware you downloaded<br />
* Click Install<br />
<br />
= Configuring Your OpenWRT Router to Work on the Sudomesh Network =<br />
<br />
These are the steps for configuring your newly flashed router. It will retrieve hardware information about the node, prompt you for a few config settings, and then query the meshnode database to get an available IP address and subnet.<br />
<br />
Open your terminal in Linux and type:<br />
<br />
git clone https://github.com/sudomesh/makenode.git<br />
cd makenode<br />
npm install<br />
cp settings.js.example settings.js<br />
<br />
The default settings in `settings.js` should suffice in most cases, but if you need to make changes, do them in 'settings.js'. <br />
<br />
A freshly flashed node will be setup on 172.22.0.1, so you will need to configure your machine to use IP address 172.22.0.9 (subnet 255.255.255.0, gateway: 0.0.0.0).<br />
On your laptop (instructions for Ubuntu) edit your network settings by doing the following:<br />
<br />
Click on the network icon on the top right of the toolbar.<br />
Click "Edit connections..."<br />
Click on Ethernet connection "Wired connection 1" and click Edit<br />
Click on the "IPv4 Settings" tab<br />
Change method to "Manual"<br />
Click Add<br />
Under "Address" type "172.22.0.9"<br />
Under "Netmask" type "255.255.255.0"<br />
Under "Gateway" type "0.0.0.0"<br />
Click Save<br />
Click Close<br />
<br />
Make sure the ethernet cable is connected to the 4th port on the router (closest to the yellow internet port).<br />
<br />
Once your network configuration is refreshed, use the following command to run the script and configure your node:<br />
<br />
./makenode.js<br />
<br />
If you get the error "no such file or directory", open a new terminal and run this command to ensure that `node` points to your NodeJS executable:<br />
<br />
sudo ln -s nodejs node<br />
<br />
In the new terminal, return to the 'makenode' source code directory and try again:<br />
<br />
npm install<br />
./makenode.js<br />
<br />
Now the configuration wizard will ask you a number of questions:<br />
<br />
* "enter valid hostname" - this is the host name when you SSH into the node - For info on what constitutes a valid hostname, see: [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3523028/valid-characters-of-a-hostname valid characters of a hostname]<br />
* "max share upstream bandwidth" - how much of your home network upstream bandwidth you wish to share with the mesh network, measured in kbps (kilobits per second). So if you'd like to share 10mbps (megabits per second) enter "10000" or if you want to share 256kbps (kilobytes per second) enter "256". You may want to run a [http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest speed test] to find out how much bandwidth you have and determine how much you want to share.<br />
* "max share downstream bandwidth" - how much of your home network upstream bandwidth you wish to share with the mesh network - eg. "512" would share 512 kbps<br />
* "admin user password" - this is the password for for changing wifi settings on the node<br />
* "root user password" - this is the root password for the router - Make sure that your root password is strong! If you don't enter a root password, a strong one will be generated and will be logged to screen. It's generally preferable to not use the root password at all and instead add an ssh key to the device - see details below.<br />
* "wifi transmit power" - set this to 23 dBm (which is equivalent to 200 milliwatts)<br />
* "operator name" - this is the name that the network admins can associate with the node - so use a unique name like your first name or location name<br />
* "private wifi SSID" - this is the wireless SSID name for the private wireless network that will run on this router<br />
* "private wifi password" - this is the password for the private wireless network that will run on this router - it must be at least 8 characters long<br />
<br />
In a separate terminal you will log into the node using these directions:<br />
<br />
To find the name of your ethernet port, type:<br />
<br />
ifconfig<br />
<br />
In the example below, the wired Ethernet port was "eth0"<br />
<br />
In the terminal type the following, replacing "eth0" with the name of your Ethernet port:<br />
<br />
sudo ip addr add 172.22.0.9/24 dev eth0<br />
<br />
Then type:<br />
<br />
ssh root@172.22.0.1<br />
<br />
It will ask you for a password, which is "meshtheplanet"<br />
<br />
If you'd like to add your ssh key to the router (instead of using a root password), add it to the `configs/authorized_keys` file. You'll see that there are 3 other keys there for our developers. You can remove them if you'd like, but they're currently the only way we can provide remote support. During the alpha test phase we ask that you consider whether you are able to do diagnostics/debugging yourself before you remove them.<br />
<br />
== Confirm that the Node is Running ==<br />
<br />
Click on the network icon on the top right of the toolbar to see the avaiable wireless networks (or run <code>sudo iwlist wlan0 scan</code> in your Linux terminal)<br />
<br />
If configuration proceeded correctly, you should see the 'peoplesopen.net' and 'pplsopen.net-node2node' WIFI interfaces.<br />

<br />
== Flash the Extender Node ==<br />
<br />
* Configure your wired internet settings to use Manual IPv4 settings with IP: 192.168.1.10, subnet: 255.255.255.0, gateway: 0.0.0.0<br />
* Plug one Ethernet cable into your laptop on one end and into the "LAN" port of the power-over-ethernet power supply on the other end.<br />
* Plug another Ethernet cable into your antenna on one end and into the "POE" port of the power-over-ethernet power supply on the other end.<br />
* Push a pin into the reset hole and hold it.<br />
* With the pin held down, plug in the power to the power-over-ethernet power supply.<br />
* Watch the lights on the antenna - they will all flash together a few times, then they will flash up and down.<br />
* Once the lights on the antenna are flashing up and down, you can let go of the pin.<br />
<br />
You should be able to ping the extender at 192.168.1.20.<br />
<br />
$ ping 192.168.1.20<br />
PING 192.168.1.20 (192.168.1.20) 56(84) bytes of data.<br />
64 bytes from 192.168.1.20: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.54 ms<br />
64 bytes from 192.168.1.20: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.826 ms<br />
<br />
In your Linux terminal, type:<br />
<br />
git clone https://github.com/sudomesh/ubi-flasher<br />
cd ubi-flasher<br />
npm install<br />
./flasher.js '<path to firmware>'<br />
<br />
The terminal will tell you "The firmware has been successfully sent to the router. In a few seconds, the router should begin flashing its four status LEDs sweeping from left to right, then right to left (or up down, down up). This means that the router is flashing itself with the new firmware. Once the router goes back to having only the power LED lit, the router has been successfully flashed."<br />
<br />
Wait until the antenna has only the power LED lit and you're done.</div>Willhttps://sudoroom.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Mesh/Legal&diff=10042Mesh/Legal2016-04-20T20:06:58Z<p>Will: /* Terms of service */</p>
<hr />
<div>= Organization structure =<br />
<br />
The mesh organization will be a 501(c)3 but will not own the mesh routers. The mesh hardware will be owned by the community that makes up the mesh.<br />
<br />
= Internet sharing =<br />
<br />
We're asking node owners to share their Internet connections with the mesh (if they have Internet). This poses two potential problems:<br />
<br />
# Legal: Is the node owner liable if mesh users conduct illegal activity over the node owners' Internet connection?<br />
# Terms of service: Some ISPs disallow sharing of Internet connections in their terms of service<br />
<br />
== Legal liability ==<br />
<br />
The EFF has already done the research on potential legal liability of Internet connection sharing. They have launched a campaign to encourage people to open their wireless access points, the [https://openwireless.org/ Open Wireless Movement]. From the website:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
Will opening my network make me liable for others' illegal actions?<br />
<br />
This one is a bit more complicated, but the short answer is, "We don't think so."<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
The EFF has more extensive information on this issue [https://openwireless.org/myths-legal here].<br />
<br />
In addition to the reassurances by the EFF, sudomesh provides an additional layer of legal protection. All Internet-bound traffic from the mesh network is routed through VPN servers owned and operated by sudomesh (we call them exit nodes). When law enforcement see illegal activity, the source IP address will be listed as operated by sudo mesh, so they will contact us first and we can likely stop most legal inquiries at this point. This means that node owners won't have to deal with things such as routine DMCA notices.<br />
<br />
This system was copied from [https://wlan-si.net/‎ wlan slovenja], the Slovenia mesh group.<br />
<br />
== Terms of service ==<br />
<br />
Some ISPs allow sharing of Internet access and others do not. We provide node owners with a list of local ISPs that are known to allow sharing of Internet access and advise them that some ISPs may not allow sharing. The worst case scenario here is that one or more users get their Internet disconnected for terms of service violation.<br />
<br />
The ISPs in the East Bay that allow Internet Connection sharing (that we know of) are:<br />

= Exit nodes =<br />
<br />
The exit nodes will be owned by the 501(c)3.<br />
<br />
With regards to running exit nodes, Noisebridge, another 501(c)3, already runs a Tor exit node which should be legally similar to a mesh exit node. <br />

<br />
= Peering agreement =<br />
<br />
If nodes are not owned by an organization, then some other way of agreement of how nodes should be operated should be made. One approach is to see each node as being peered with others and create agreements about how the rules the traffic should go over those links. Another is to extend such agreement into a license and also add rules about how the nodes themselves should behave.<br />
