There's no official plugin for WinTak. You can check out OpenTAKServer, there's a recent addition called the "TAK Meshtastic Gateway" which apparently supports ATAK, WinTAK, and iTAK. Looks like a neat project, but just know that is not affiliated with Meshtastic.

@@Meshtastic Is there any chances for you to work on and official plugin for wintak or not? Just to know if I Need to focus on something else.

Without some modifications, likely no. You could probably make it work assuming you double check pin assignments and such. Feel free to join the discord and pop by the #linux-native channel. The kind folks there, including Jonathan, can help you out.

ATAK is a suite of software that allows for collaboration over geography, the Meshtastic plugin allows Mesh information to integrate into it. For more information on ATAK check out www.civtak.org/atak-about/ and for the Meshtastic plugin meshtastic.org/docs/software/integrations/integrations-atak-plugin/

Depending on which device you're looking to buy, there are multiple places that have stock available (and have had it). Also, what someone does with their Meshtastic device should be up to them, no? If you need any help finding stock, be sure to join the discord and we can point you in the right direction. :)

Coil Guns are used as demonstration and learning platforms for students. It's a very common stepping stone to get into power electronics and frequently demonstrated at science fairs. www.instructables.com/GaussGun-Coil-Gun-Electronics-and-Engineering-Proj/

@@Meshtastic it still shows it can be used to trigger something bad just like the firework did, its a bad choice) . (Our reaction is probably alien to Ameericans as America has normalised guns.)

is part of iot. Imagine that we can use for irigations , etc

This is the most European type of comment I’ve ever seen💀

This is the most European comment ever😂

Hey there! You're not being annoying at all, don't worry! In the video, they used Meshtastic nodes to wirelessly trigger a coil gun from a distance. Coil guns are cool because they're often used in science and engineering projects-like at science fairs-to demonstrate power electronics concepts. It shows how Meshtastic can be used for remote control without internet or cellular networks. Pretty neat, right?

It sounded as though they're simply using a GPIO pin and the external notification module to toggle something on a secondary device.

As the person who built it: it was just a simple GPIO pin that toggled on receipt of a message. To do more than that would probably require the notification module to do things based on message content (hint hint @meshtastic :P ) and then signal a different microcontroller to change the PWM signal accordingly. It would be kind of fun to be able to remotely dial in a high/medium/low power shot, maybe next year.

@@dpidcoe hell ye boi thank you! You could probably program in some kind of command line logic so that when you have a bunch of people using that meshtastic network they can all remotely control a device in such a way. Doesn't have to be a coil gun obviously, but maybe an AC unit or a light switch.

@@XRingerthe same way garage door openers and washer and dryer timers are a thing of the past?

Thank you for the kind words:)

@@Meshtastic of course! I’ve just joined “the movement” (located in WA) and loving every bit of it! 😊

No, the LoRa radio is not turned off. The MCU can be placed into a sleep state depending on role/settings, but the radio will remain active and will wake the MCU when it starts to hear a message.

Did you complete these steps? meshtastic.org/docs/hardware/devices/linux-native-hardware/#hardware-interfaces

@@Meshtastic Yes I did and I checked the config.txt afterwards to ensure that the changes had been applied. I also edited the config.yaml as instructed.

@@Meshtastic I get the debug error: Warning, cannot claim pin GPIO20St16invalid_argument No I2C device configured, skipping. My config.yaml contains Lora: Module: sx1262 # Waveshare SX126X XXXM DIO2_AS_RF_SWITCH: true CS: 21 IRQ: 16 Busy: 20 Reset: 18

Are you able to communicate with the device you are trying to trace route? You might be in a position where your device can receive from that node but your messages to them are having trouble getting there.

I would recommend joining the discord and posting your issue as well as your full setup. Folks can get you sorted. There's a lot of variables involved.

You can use any of the existing clients that has TCP connection such as the web interface or the network management client. You can also emulate the existing screen (like you'd see on the device) and it supports mouse+keyboard. Additionally, we have a new GUI that's being developed which will also offer linux native support including mouse + keyboard.

​@Meshtastic thanks for your reply. I got it working. I miss the ability to be able to traceroute to a node. Is there any way of doing that ?

It's possible but might require some work, unless you're using an existing DIY variant as a footprint (github.com/meshtastic/firmware/tree/master/variants/diy). If you're using hardware that's already supported it's just a matter of creating your own variant with the necessary pin info etc. There is a Meshtastic library for Arduino but it is not the firmware, it's more of a driver for interfacing with Meshtastic nodes over WiFi and Serial connections (github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-arduino).

Spoilers :)

@@Meshtastic I was having a problem and fixed it by flashing to the watch with google chrome. Kinda wish I could still use it as a watch.

Possibly, but whether they're useful/usable is another thing. A lot of "alternatives" still use TAK Server on the backend too.

Correct, the data comes from whatever position source you are using for that device.

It's an algorithm based on time and the signal to nose ratio.

I don't know of any state-wide, but there are quite a few larger metropolitan area networks. You can check out the local groups for more info, some have websites/discords etc. meshtastic.org/docs/community/local-groups/

If you're specific use-case calls for long slow, yes. Otherwise sticking with Long Fast is usually fine. We've seen some pretty great distances on it. The rest look good too.

No, ATAK is Android only. There is no iTAK support currently.

Do you have an alternative algorithm that works on our medium? We’re constantly evaluating ways to make it better.

@@Meshtasticman you guys are a real bunch of pricks overall… i stopped by the discord today and your admins and devs had the same crappy attitudes and power trips threatening to ban people over civil discourse/debates. the guy just asked a simple question. why does that deserve a condescending, pricky response? it is poorly designed. a lot of stuff doesnt work properly.. traceroute is a joke.. gps/mapping/mqtt stuff is a disaster. how about “we are condtantly trying to improve. we knows its not perfect. it started as a prject and now that its taking off, we’re trying to make significant improvements. this is a free, open source project and we dont dedicate our entire lives to it. we’re open to suggestions, ideas, and help.”….. but no. sarcastic bullshit. super annoying.

Yes, the android app allows for a USB connection. You should see the device in the hardware list to select when you plug it in.

You can review the information here: meshtastic.org/docs/overview/mesh-algo/. For anything more specific you'll need to review the firmware repository on GitHub.

No, it does not work remotely. It requires other devices to rebroadcast the messages.

You should be able to see any Meshtastic device with one of the recent updates. Check the release history for notes.

TonyG/Tropho case. You can find it on Printables.
