A guide on building autonomous communication networks with LoRa that work without wider communications infrastructure. Combining techniques for resistance, resilience, and persistence.
Love this article! I'm very new to this stuff and wanted to start building a mesh network in my area so I got a T3 and the battery you linked but for those that are also new I would make sure to look for a battery with JST 1.25mm connector and not a 2.mm because that's what the T3 uses. Made this mistake myself so hope this is helpful to someone else!
@Michel Bauwens ik moest aan jouw denken als ik dit zag . Ik herinner me dat je in een podcast sprak over communities die rond digital comons werken. Ik snap daar allemaal niets van, als digital dummy, maar mss ken jij mensen voor wie deze kennis interessant is
Veel dank beste Anne, Zit net in Liechtenstein om de oprichting bij te wonen van een globaal initiatief om wereldwijde netwerken van commons op te zetten (dus in gemeenschappelijk eigendom en beheer, met alles erop en eraan). Het cosmo-localisme komt er aan!
The move toward autonomous infrastructure feels like gardening at civilization scale. Each node you plant in the mesh network mirrors how underground mycelium threads through forest soil, carrying signals between disconnected organisms until they become one organism. What happens to ownership when your communications infrastructure becomes as self-propagating as the seedlings you grow?
This is amazing! Thank you for putting this together! Is there a way to download this ( like a PDF) to keep offline? I am a paper pencil kind of person and really want to highlight and take notes 😅
This is an incredible, incredible guide. For anyone following with a t3s3, i had to press the “boot” button on the flat side of the chip while turning it on to flash the firmware.
I love this and am working on setting up my own devices.
For the T3, LilyGo only seemed to offer a T3S3, not sure if that's any different than what you used. But that 3d case doesn't fit for the T3S3 devices I've got. Did you have to modify yours or anything?
This is epic work! I am keeping this bookmarked for when we start connecting Regenerative Neighborhoods in my BioRegion!
I was going to tag you and I then I saw you're already here
Yesss! We're very much on the same page about OpenSource alternative communities!
Thank you very much for the detailed guide! So excited to be setting up some more mesh networks throughout Texas!

I would gladly pay for a PDF version of this. I really appreciate all the knowledge and work you put into this.
Putting essential “ how tos” out there for essential equipment is a good thing to do. Thank you!
