[Mesh] Hacknight Notes

[Jenny Ryan]

Reposted for posterity at: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/06_February_2014

Starting off these notes with an exciting excerpt from the ircz :D

Day changed to 07 Feb 2014
00:04 < juul> WE JUST SUCCESSFULLY CONFIGURED THE FIRST WORKING NODE
00:04 < juul> THE SYSTEM IS WORKING
00:04 < juul> ONLY TWO "SHOWSTOPPING BUGS LEFT":
00:05 < juul>  * sticker printing
00:05 < juul>  * upstream bandwidth limiting
00:08 < thundara> juul: Cool, can an outsider get / build the firmware yet?
00:11 < jerkey> yay!!!!!!!!
00:17 < juul> thundara: yeah, but we need to spend a couple of days going
through and documenting better
00:18 < juul> the idea is that you flash the standard sudo mesh firmware,
then use the node-configurator to set up the node
00:20 < juul> so, in very brief: get the openwrt-firmware repo from
sudomesh github, run prepare script, run build script, flash resulting
firmware (jffs version) onto your atheros node (only tested on picostation
2 hp and bullet 2 hp so far), then get the node-configurator from our git
repo and follow the instructions in the readme
00:20 < juul> those instructions may well be a bit lacking still
