Deployed our first node!
Today we finished installing our first backbone node! It's running Sudo Mesh v0.1 Snow Crash, and will soon be linking up with two neighboring hacker houses. :-)
Here's Juul's reportback:
Pete and myself installed a Nanostation M5 on a 20 foot aluminum flagpole in West Oakland. The node is about 14 feet above the roof of a two-story building. The total cost of this install ran to about $145 including all materials.
Bill of Materials:
- One Nanostation M5 loco
- One 4 foot wood beam of 3.5" by 3.5"
- Three 5" by 1/4" bolts
- Three 5/8" washers for bolts (optional)
- Three 1/2" washers for bolts (optional)
- Two 5" hose clamps
- 30+ feet of outdoor shielded ethernet cable
- Two shielded/groundable ethernet plugs
- A bunch of zip ties
The optional washers make it easier to tighten and untighten the bolts (otherwise they dig into the wood).
Material sources:
- Nanostation from Amazon
- Flag pole from Harbor Freight
- Everything else from Home Depot

hello world!
hello world!
it's been nearly a year since we first started meeting - our tiny group. so much learning, so much progress!
we've launched the peoplesopen.net! && meshthepla.net!
check out our code - namely forks of openwrt running batman-adv for routing and incorporating wlan-slovenia's tunneldigger for secure vpn connections, as well as an admin interface written in lua.
