[[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 | |||
