Builds
Below are a list of various Reticulum devices and builds to peruse.
- Mobile node by Mark Qvist.
- Make your own rnode by Mark Qvist.
- A loft node and a computer node: link to post.
- Command line rnode setup video by Simon Phillips, useful for preparing a stand-alone headless rnode, over ssh, as a transport node to relay messages received. The video includes RNS software installation and rnode firmware flashing from the command line.
- Headless Raspberry Pi 4 single board computer runing Reticulum MeshChat: this video takes you step-by-step through Liam Cottle's instruction for setting up Reticulum MesChat on a Raspberry Pi 4 via ssh on the command line, wherein the Raspberry Pi is 'headless' i.e. does not need any keyboard nor screen. Reticulum MeshChat allows you to control the Raspberry Pi via a web browser page over your local network. This is ideal for setting up and maintaining Raspberry-Pi-based transport rnodes in the field which may not be very accessible. This is the first step to making a solar-powered setup.
- Setting up a Raspberry Pi to run an rnode, and making it re-start automatically when power returns, by Simon Phillips.
- Solar rnode up a pole.
- Build a Small Reticulum Meshchat Node with Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and RAK 4631 including WiFi Hotspot, as also detailed further here in the Pi installation page of this site.
- A boxed battery-powered rnode connected to an interface device by wifi.
- A Raspberry Pi 5 rnode with 24 hour battery life and orderly shutdown on power loss and automatic restart on power return.
- Car rnode.
- Rnode for the roof running on DC power cable.
- Beautiful ESP32 rnode builds using SX1278 and SX1268 chips.
