Aethernode and Aethermobi - building blocks for urban deployments
Started by aetherlab ·
Hello!
To mark me appearing here, I want to share the repo for the two main projects I work on now:
- aethernode is a base-station unit for Reticulum LoRa networking
ESP32 VR00Mversion - https://github.com/ahedproductions/aethernodeESP32 S3version - https://github.com/ahedproductions/aethernodeS3
- aethermobi is a high-power mobile node - https://github.com/ahedproductions/aethermobi
Also on self-hosted git: https://git.aetherlab.org/explore/repos

Aethermobi, box is in the works, will share file for printing.
Added environmental sensors to the Aethernode. Hopefully they will provide useful data in multiple locations over the city. Both are I2C types.

Aethernode S3 PCB's have arrived! I hope I get them up and running soon. Hats off to JlcPCB!
That is one powerful little brick! Looks good in black :)
It's great to see the progress of your projects, nice work!
Yesh! It feels heavy and dense, this one, in ASA it will be even more like this. The ability to have a good antenna with actual gain and real power, after all even with all those cell towers around you, your mobile's cellular modem is actually 1W or more, is crucial in urban areas, where one cannot place too many stationary nodes. This will give you oomph when you need it, keep you consumption very low, when you don't. The batteries will last for days even on 1W and moderate traffic. Setting the power on this one is done like this:
On the left is the value you put in Sideband, on the right - the output power you will get from the 30S modules.
Work can now be found on our self-hosted git:

Will decide on what happens to the GitHub repos soon.
Two of the nodes have the TX433-JKS-IPX20 antennas (https://www.cdebyte.com/products/TX433-JKS-IPX20)
STEP files for the boxes are in the gits. Enjoy!
First aethernode S3 is being brought to life. It will become the 3-rd deployment in Sofia city soon, widening the LoRa coverage and allowing a new set of environmental sensors online.
Sofia 2 is deployed! It has already returned lots of data from it's env sensors. I have done a preliminary coverage test run. I truly hoped to get roof access for this one, but people are... people.
