which tool do you use for flashing? In general, if you don’t use Launcher, you should go with esptool and flash on address 0x00 e.g. `esptool --chip esp32s3 write-flash 0x0 tdeck_firmware.bin` or tdeck_pro_firmware.bin if you have the Pro model.

it’s a double edged sword, no doubt. I’m not purist manual coder, but I have many ideas and it would take me eternity to bring to life. I agree about the muscle memory but if we have free models available and capable enough we wouldn’t really need those muscles. A common comparison is the assembly coding skills. There are people who are masters, but the majority of the code is abstracted to another language.

i experimented with solar powered transport 3 months ago with tweaked microreticulum but there was problem in the repeater concept at that time so I gave up untill this is resolved by the authors. On flaky radio connection reticulum packet is not clever enough to take the better radio path and link was breaking. So I gave up. Also for me anything but solar transport is not interesting as I beed to find solir power source or huge bat capacity.

2026-08-16T11:08:50Z

I’m experimenting today with inline image rendering in #nomadnet micron pages. This is entirely rendered in the terminal. I personally think this is a very good feature to add to micron. In fact it doesn’t use special tag, just adds attributes to the file link tag. In the background it uses the decades old #Sixel protocol to render the image in the terminal. Most of the modern terminals support it. I personally don’t want #reticulum to look like 80s so images in nomadnet is a must.

well, I had luck with reverse engineering text2speech assembly program for Apple ][ and re-writing it in python 😄 Worth a try imo

ok one thing, which I’ve apparently missed - LoRa config is located in the general config file tdeck_config.py, but now, with Launcher integration, the only way to edit it, is to copy ot locally on your computer with mpremote, edit the settings and upload it back to deck. In the next version, I’ll have this settings exposed in the UI. Current settings, if you want to test lora use these settings on the other end: frequency: 868.800Mhz, band: 125Khz, SF:8, coding rate: 5

My T-deck #reticulum firmware (lxmf+nomadnet+rnsh) now available through the Launcher project. Not yet in the catalog but will apply to get it there for the least friction install. Currently what you can do is get the bin file from the Releases page and uploaded from the SD card of T-deck. https://github.com/varna9000/reticulum-tdeck/releases/tag/v1.3.0 Jérémie Zimmermann🎶💗🧀🫖 (npub1t4j…yzkv)

it’s crutial this signal comparison works on smaller ram devices such as nrf52 xiao as those are likely to be set as solar nodes which extend the network. Not sure what hw you’ve tested so far (even without the fix)

yes it does, that’s the tradeoff. For tests where you announce more often than usual you’d want SF6 so packets get over quicker. For production I’m personally going for SF8 as the best compromise for speed/reliability. Any higher sf is unusable for reticulum links -it’s too slow.

yes, colliding packets is a problem, so a possible solution is to set the smallest spreading factor i.e increase speed so packets take less airtime.

I’ve made at least 10 meshtastic solar nodes with nrf52 Xiao, total cost goes to around 20 euro/node including battery, solar panel and the 3d print. These nodes are working 1+ year happily. If we can flash stable reticulum nodes on it, it would be a game changer.

the case is a bit more complex - the unstable network node is les hops than the stable one and reticulum always prefers the lowest hop neighbor.

i’d gladly set a city-wide Rnode #reticulum network in Bulgaria, but my experiment failed miserably even on 5km range. I’ve explained the problem here, which i believe is still not resolved in the protocol itself https://rns.recipes/forum/general/lora-transport-topology-question

to be fair to Mark, he said he’s giving the protocol as freeware (with military restrictions) so anyone can do anything with it, including forking. So if the community picks it up and start reimplementing/improving he might even join that community fork (my interpretation) if the fork is improving and adopting rapidly. Not everyone agrees with me, but I think putting Rnode repeaters on solar powered microcontrollers is the key to mass adoption.

if nrf52 xiao gets proper rnode firmware this would enable aolar nodes massively because is cheap. I used it allover for Meshtastic nodes and can’ twait to get stable #reticulum node on if possible at all.
