Deployment

I'm just getting started with AREDN and there are very few nodes in my area. Another ham and I are planning to get started together and hope to encourage other hams in the area to get started as well.  He lives 3 miles SSE of me.  There is another node 7 miles further SSE of him that is connected to a node about 16 miles NNE of him.  From the map that user has both a 5ghz radio (NanoBridge 5) and a 2ghz radio (Bullet M2).  The 2ghz radio is the one connected NNE of him.

Firstly want to say amazing app. Great work. 

Couple of things. 

1.  I just installed the app tonight on my node. Using MeshChat as the channel.  Checking 2 others on that channel it appears to only be "uploading" the messages rather than also syncing both ways. 
I've restarted my node a few times in case that helped. But no joh. 

2 some suggestions for other updates;
a. Edit a message - typo etc. 
b. Edit a channel after posting. Let's you file or fix errors. 
c. Delete message option

cheers. 

This is my second iteration of a Go-Box for my AREDN Mesh equipment.  It is actually two boxes - one as a "base" node and the second as a "remote/bridge" node.  I had several goals in mind when building these units:  (1) a kit that can have all (or almost all) of the necessary components together in one place, (2) easy setup of an AREDN node at a special event or emergency deployment, (3) be able to experiment with the hardware in my home without having cables and power supplies all over.  The base system is housed in a Stanley roll-around tool chest from Home Depot ($29!!).  It looks to be

Hey all,

By the time I got electricity again on Christmas Eve after Maria hit Puerto Rico, I had already thinking about a minimal network for disasters. During the blackout, when we lost all telecommunication at my house,

it was a humbling experience that left me feeling super isolated. I made a promise to myself then, to never be disconnected from world and the Internet again.

I have Nightly Build  aredn-1000-3324ce8-ubnt-nano-m-sysupgrade on a NanoStation XM M2.
The problem is that I can't seem to get iperfSpeed running.
These are the iperf files I loaded:
1 uclibcxx_0.2.4-3_mips_24kc
2 iperf_2.0.12-2_mips_24kc
3 iperf3_3.5-1AREDN_mips_24kc
4 iperfspeed_0.5_all
I can see the files loaded OK, but there is no advertised service.
I did reboot after loading the 4 files.
Wondering what I missed?

Update: If I add IpeerfSpeed manually as an Advertised Service it appears to work OK.

Just a list of changes I have done to the official AREDN map page recently.

Note:
The Official AREDN Map can be found here: http://usercontent.arednmesh.org/K/5/K5DLQ/livemap2.html
This should not be confused with my other MeshMap project. They are 2 different things.

Greetings,

While I was playing around with the MeshMap on one of my nodes, I got an interesting idea to somehow output a KML file for Google Earth.  I started writing a python program to go thru the MeshMap SQL database and build a KML file.

This is what I've got, so far:

Welcome to the GoKits Sub-Forum

We started this sub-forum to share the creative ideas bubbling up all over the AREDN community. This area is meant to capture your experiences with making mesh node GoKits for portable, temporary deployment. PLease post your advice, pictures, construction methods and bills of materials for portable mesh nodes
We'll start off with a recent post from Mark N2MH and his new best friend Stanley.
