[[File:FirstNode.JPG|right|350px|Sudo Mesh's first mesh node!]]
Today we finished installing our first backbone node! It's running [https://github.com/sudomesh Sudo Mesh v0.1 Snow Crash], and will soon be linking up with two neighboring hacker houses. :-)
Here's [[User:Juul|Juul's]] reportback:
<blockquote>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
