any progress on prototypes? I have no movement on my side…
I just checked the leadtime for the Murata module (as it is now available at major distributors). They expect to have them somewhere around November.
At this moment I think I’ll wait, but I may decide to go with the other (discrete) design.
I wonder if this would be compatible to talk to openlrs RC control stuff.
I am mot familiar with openLRS but if it uses LoRa, then it most likely will be. If it uses a different protocol, probably not. The chip it is based on is not a generic radio, but specifically for LoRa.
Either you’d need a dedicated expansion card. Or an SDR might be possible.
First one is assembled (and at least not completely broken). Made assembly a little more difficult for myself by not ordering a paste stencil.
Next ones should be easier (I hope).
If someone (or multiple someones) can aid in writing a nice library for it I’ll be happy to send one. Since I am running Linux, the library will need to work on that. Also I’d prefer sending it to someone in the EU.
When the software is done and I have working spares, I can send spares on a first come first serve basis.

I am excited to see this project progress laptop to laptop coms without WiFi would be sick. Cant wait for them to go on sale. I am here when they do <3
Looking forward to these. Porting (or using if a port exists by the time I get my hands on one) Meshtastic to this seems like fun (and porting Meshtastic is usually quite easy, too!)
